Hi, I am a pre-pharmacy student and I was arrested a got a Class-B Misdemeanor for Theft. I am currently filing for a Pre-Trial Diversion. This is basically for first time offenders and it will have the charges against offenders dismissed after I complete the 12 month program.
But my record will still have the arrest but just no prosecution. Will this affect my chances for pharmacy school? I am taking the PCAT in september and apply to pharmacy schools in the Fall. I'm not sure what they look for in the background check so I don't really know if this will affect my chances.
Background info: this is my first time ever being arrested or charged with anything, I live in Texas.
Thanks in advance!
