Dui help

So I was accepted to medical school x. However the summer of application year I got a dui (no accident, no injuries, just me in the car), that will be dismissed upon completion of a program. The medical school secondary didn't ask about pending charges or anything that would stop me from licensure so I did not disclose it. When I disclose this information to the medical school, what are my chances of being allowed to matriculate?

You need a lawyer. Dismissing charges can mean a lot of things depending on what the true wording is on the final court documents and what actually happens to your case.

There's likely a clause in the school handbook that you were accepted to that says you need to tell them if anything criminal happens, but since you haven't truly matriculated yet, I don't know how that works, again ask the lawyer.

Third, you'll almost 100% need to disclose this when you apply to residency as from my understanding, their background checks and such are much much more rigorous. Again be prepared to ask the lawyer about that. You probably need to find someone who has worked with medical students before.
