Hey SDN,
So I'm having a major issue and could really use some advice. When I received my post-acceptance criminal history report, I was shocked to see a number of felonies listed on it. The charges were trumped up and bs to begin with but that's not even the issue. Not only were the reported charges dismissed (arrested but never convicted and nolle prosequi'd), but the arrest record was expunged. I thought that either one of these circumstances would be sufficient to not need to disclose on AMCAS. Naturally, I disputed the report and today received the updated report. Instead of multiple felonies listed there's only one. This is still a major problem as I did not disclose it, the charge in question was dismissed, and the record of the arrest was subsequently expunged. I have proof of all of this, and sent it to Certiphi to no avail. Should I just release the report as is and notify my school of what's going on? I really did not want to have to bring all of this up and it makes me look sketchy. Currently I'm still disputing the report but I don't know what my next step will be if they refuse to remove it. Any advice is greatly valued!!
