You've probably given some of the best advice here so far, so I thank you for your input. From what it sounds like, the consensus is that I'm almost hopeless in terms of getting into a medical school, but that it's not completely impossible. If the admissions committee believes I'm worthy of redemption given my mistakes then I may get in, but if not I'm screwed. So going with plan A and B at the same time is probably my best bet. I'm going to try to major in something like biomedical engineering, or any science related field that has a great job outlook. As far as proving my commitment, do you have any recommendations on how I would go about doing that? What I mean is that, are you recommending I volunteer for something specific, or that my extra circulars are tailored differently? How exactly would I define my commitment to the legal system on my application? Sorry, I'm just not following you the greatest as to what I can do to improve my odds legally.
From a legal perspective, would having a crime set aside, or expunged make any difference on a medical school application? Would an adcom committee look at the criminal act in the same way? I've read that even expunged or set aside crimes have to be reported eventually, so I'm just curious as to whether or not this would help in any shape or form.
