Posting for a friend since they do not want to bring this up in real life to an advisor:
Around 5-6 years ago, I was in a bad place and was convicted of simple assault, which is a misdemeanor. I had to show up in court, was placed on probation, the whole deal. I have had a completely clean record since then however, went to community college and then transferred, took the MCAT, etc.
I have heard that assault convictions are typically automatic death sentences for an application. I did not know this before embarking on this journey, and am looking for advice on whether if it is even worth it for me to proceed on this path. Is my application dead on arrival with an assault charge?
