Preliminary Certiphi background check

Hi all,

I apologize in advance if this thread is redundant, but I couldn't find a clear answer anywhere.

I had a preliminary background check done by Certiphi when I submitted my AMCAS. It came up all clear, but I was wondering if that is the same exact check that they will send to schools later in the process? I got a traffic ticket in the spring that the officer dropped a couple days later. I'm not sure if that leaves a record somewhere, but the courthouse said they have no record of it and it didn't come up on the Certiphi check. Should I expect the official report from Certiphi to be the same as the preliminary?

Thanks

There are a couple of states in which a traffic violation can be a misdemeanor, but other than those states (GA, TX, ?), even if you the cop didn't withdraw the ticket you're fine. Since the cop did withdraw it, you've got nothing to worry about it won't show up
