Hi guys,

In college, I was arrested and given a conviction for a misdemeanor in trespassing. I'm hoping to go to pharmacy school and eventually get my License in Pharmacy. Will this make it impossible for me to obtain my licensing? I heard that this misdemeanor can prevent me from getting a license and I'm worried that after all my schooling, I'm going to end up not being able to actually become a pharmacist. =( Thanks

you should be ok. You just have to worry about felony convictions and misdemeanor convictions that involve drugs. Worse case scenario is that they put you on probation.

In Illinois, for pharmacists, drug related misdemeanors or any felony can lead to you not getting a license.

Get a lawyer and see if you can get this record expunged.

Before you pay for a lawyer, check with your state board of pharmacy. If they don't care about it, I wouldn't worry about getting denied admission. Misdemeanor trespassing is not that big a deal as long as that's the only thing on your record.

Go to pharmacy school and relax. They care about felonies and DUIs. What you have is not a big deal.
