Has anyone with a misdemeanor get into dental school?

Just to be safe, I am planning on disclosing it. I heard it still shows up as dismissed during a background check. I just wanted to know if people actually made it to the program regardless of the fact that they have a dismissed/expunged misdemeanor.If its expunged, its not on your record. Don't think you would even have to say anything about it.

I would be honest. I know someone that didnt disclose and got their acceptance taken away.If you're not comfortable sharing it here please send me a private message. It would really help a lot thanks.
I'm thinking about only applying to the schools sponsored by certiphi
My school used Certiphi...just sayin'. Be Honest. If you aren't ad they find out you can have your accaptance taken away. It is a misdemenor, how bad could it be. If it does't get you ow it just may get you when you apply for your license. DO not take that chance with your future.

I have a dismmised possesion ticket in process of expungement . I want to apply to dental schools in June. Would you be willing to share your experience with me ? I am really scared , I don't know if I should disclose or not. Thank youMy school used Certiphi...just sayin'. Be Honest. If you aren't ad they find out you can have your accaptance taken away.

I just got accepted with two underage drinking tickets. They were four years ago tho, so idk if that played a role. I did get asked by all my interviewers about them though. Good luck!Would you

Hi! I am applying this cycle with a similar situation. I was charged with a misdemeanor last year, what do you think my chances are? Of course I am planning to disclose this in the application, however, I want to know if having a misdemeanor will permanently bar me from dental schoolI haven't quite got in yet, but I have received a few interview invites this cycle with a misdemeanor on my record. I also know someone at UMich right now with a record as well. Feel free to PM me.
Being open and honest about the situation is always the best thing to do in my experiences. Everyone makes mistakes at some point in their life. How you come back from them and grow as an individual is most important.
thank you so much! This definitely relieved my stress and I’ll make sure to make my application as strong as I can.I applied this cycle and had a minor of consumption that I plead guilty to, and a minor of possession that was dismissed. When writing anything for secondaries I paid attention to the language - most asked about just the guilty plea so I disclosed that one. I think there were 1 or 2 that I had to disclose the dismissed one as well because of the plea deal I made. I made sure to emphasize what I learned and showed that I didn’t make the same mistake again.
It didn’t seem to affect my application, though I felt like it was a strong application. I was accepted to 9 schools and had 11 interviews. Only 2 of the interviewers asked about my misdemeanor.
Disclose and don’t sweat. If you have a strong application aside from your misdemeanor you should be in good shape.
