I will be applying to medical schools for the upcoming cycle, and I was wondering if anyone who has had the background check could give me some info.
I know this sounds bad (but I really just came here for advice on the background check, not to be lectured because honestly I didn't do anything wrong), but over 3 years ago I was arrested and charged with felony rape and consensual sodomy. The story behind all of this is very long and I do not wish to go in to it, however I ended up not being convicted of any of the charges.
Is this something that I would need to disclose to schools when I send in my secondaries? Will this prevent me down the road for becoming a doctor? I honestly am not sure what will show up on a background check because I was not convicted, and I do not want to pay for one either because it seems like they can be expensive.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
