Hoping someone else has had a similar experience here.. In completing the Certiphi Background check, there is a section called "Additional Info" that has a question asking if we have ever plead guilty to a misdemeanor charge, excluding any time probation has been completed and the case dismissed by the court.

I received a drinking citation when I was 18, plead guilty, had a year probation, did the community service, and was told it was dismissed. I wrote about this on my AMCAS and appropriate secondaries, but I feel really weird about leaving it out of this background check. This probably sounds neurotic, but has anyone been in a similar situation and submitted the Certiphi screening without mentioning their "charge" and been fine?
 
You said you told all the schools, so they obviously don't care. Why then wouldn't you just include it in your background check?
