Not to be repetitive, considering the misdemeanor thread I saw a little bit down the page BUT

I was recently charged with DUI. Very recently. Obviously, when I filled out my secondaries, this was not the case, so of course I said NO to any pending criminal investigations.

The charge will be dismissed, but it will take about a year.

A) If I get an acceptance, will the school eventually find out?
B) Will they think I was being dishonest, despite the fact that this occurred AFTER I filled out the secondaries.
C) Does this completely ruin my changes at medical school?

And just for the record, I have NO other criminal record (not even a speeding ticket).

A drug or alcohol offense can get you kicked out of school, so can a felony. Also the kind of behavior that people did in undergrad, don't do it in medical school or any graduate school.

Donald Trump gave some brilliant advice to kids in Iowa, stay away from drugs, alcohol, and cigarettes. Seeing what he did with his life, its great advice.
