By the way, as to OP's question: It would seriously affect residency chances but have no effect on DEA licensing or your student loans, as it is not a drug charge.

I will pay money to read the personal statement and watch the whole interview(s).
PD: "So, tell me about your prostitution charge"
OP: "I'm not sure where to start, so I went on SDN and ppl there told me that I have a lot to offer."
 
In actuality this thread has gotten no serious responses but this could actually be a serious quetsion. For example: the OP is a med student guy who on the weekend went and used the services of a prostitute and got caught. This happens to many people and is not that out of the ordinary.

I did offer a serious answer. It'll hurt his chances of residency but won't affect anything else.

To the bolded, what? :poke:
Regardless it's funnier to think it's not serious so we can all make these hilariousssssssss jokes.
 
Get a good lawyer. If your place of arrest offers a diversion program, you should go for it. That will help you avoid a conviction. In Chicago, the Cook County sheriff goes all out with stings, and I believe they have a one day Johns School which you attend and then it won't go on your record. I'm hoping you don't live somewhere where mugshots are posted. Otherwise, diversion or dropped charges can help sweep it under the rug.
 
The jokes are bad in this thread. Can we give him a serious answer? I can imagine a PD somewhere can provide info about how residencies conduct criminal background checks, etc.

Can you obtain a residency if you get a DUI, for example? I would tend to see getting a DUI as way worse than soliciting a prostitute.

I could see a drunken weekend at mardi gras or las vegas turning into a nightmare like this...

WTF?! You people need new friends and new boundaries. Prostitution, either as a buyer or seller, is not ordinary. And if your drunken parties typically turn into 'nightmares' like this you should maybe visit an AA meeting. Not. Normal.

I'm not an alcoholic, I'm a enthusiast.

Any my drunken parties don't turn into nightmares, they turn into hilarious stories to tell over Sunday brunch

OP was given a couple of serious answers. Soliciting prostitution is more likely to keep you of a residency than a DUI, largely because (rightly or wrongly) many people view a DUI as a simple mistake that's largely the result of chemically impaired judgement, while soliciting a prostitute isn't something you just stumble into on accident.

It's an accident if I didn't know s/he was an officer.

Getting out more does not make prostitution normal.

I get out, and I get laid. But somehow I've managed to entirely miss living in your false dichotomy. I'm ok with that.

Lol no need to qualify yourself and boast to anonymous people on the internet that you get laid. The point of my comment was to suggest that you seem to be sheltered and are not really aware of what's going on in the world if you think that prostitution is the end of the world and a huge deal.

IMO it should be the other way around. One has a very high chance of causing harm to life, the other doesn't really hurt anyone.

I think it's less a question of "did you do something (potentially) harmful?" as much as "are you capable enough to not do stupid stuff?"

DUI occurs when you are mentally impaired, so it's not as strongly predictive as some other illegal acts even if it is much worse.
