Dismissed Charge Disclosure

So a few weeks ago I had an interview at my dream school. I can't be sure, but I think that it went really well. My issue is that at the start of the summer, I was charged with a minor in possession of alcohol misdemeanor a few weeks before my 21st birthday. I talked to an attorney and was able to get it quickly dismissed. Although the secondary did not tell me to disclose dismissed charges, I'm wondering if/when I should tell the school. I would hate to have my (potential) acceptance rescinded or something even worse down the line. What should I do? Thanks!

Uhhhhhhhh.... not say anything unless asked about misdemeanor charges?

Thanks, just wanted to make sure. Side note: do you think that this would affect getting into residency programs later?

Not in the slightest.
