In June of 2011 I was arrested for a felony dui and drug paraphernalia conviction at the age of 19. I wasn't convicted of the two until May of 2013. Since February 6, 2012 I have been clean and sober from drugs and alcohol and have become an active member of Alcoholics Anonymous. Since my sentencing date I have completed four months in prison, paid off all of my fines, completed probation, and got my license back. In Arizona there is no way to get charges expunged from your record you can only get them set aside but they still remain on your record. I believe I have a good case to show that I have completely changed my life around since the day of the DUI but am discouraged because I have read that drug charges are very looked down upon when applying for medical school. By the time I am applying for medical school the charges will be about 6-8 years old. Basically, I am wondering if anyone has ever gotten into medical school and obtained licensing with similar charges or if anyone has any helpful information on the subject.
