I have an infraction which is about a year and a half old which is classified as a civil ordinance violation (not a felony or misdemeanor). I will be applying to med schools next year. The AMCAS only asked about misdemeanors and felonies and most of the secondaries that I have started looking at have also only asked about misdemeanors and felonies, too.
If I am never asked about this and answer all questions on the applications truthfully, could an acceptance be rescinded if this shows up on a background check? I'm not sure if it will and I'm going to order my own Certiphi just to see but if it is never asked for I don't know if I should mention it because I don't want any red flags on my application.
**If a secondary asks for any convictions/crimes or anything that sounds remotely like my violation, I will of course disclose it and any details necessary... not trying to be sneaky here, just don't want to put myself at a disadvantage if I don't have to.**
