2 years ago I was stopped by campus police while walking home through campus on the way from the bars. Unfortunately I was arrested & given a deferred public intoxication sentence. After 30hrs of community service / 3mo probation / lots of fees later , the case was dismissed (so never convicted of anything and no criminal record). However, since it happened on campus I was also cited with a misconduct violation which I have to disclose on applications (this was fixed by writing an essay and attending 10 stress-therapy sessions).
Since the arrest I have finished my undergrad, received a Master's degree abroad, and will be interning abroad in a pharmaceutical company this year. I'm just wondering how much the incident will affect me in the application process and how I should go about it in interviews if it comes up.
Also should I disclose it the people who are writing references for me? Some of them are higher up in the medical / school communities and I'm wondering if it would hurt their image for supporting me.
Thanks for the help!
