i actually got accepted to a school and they are asking for arrest. I didn't even think it would be an issue until now. I consulted a lawyer, initially, hoping that he would help me draft a statement about the incident. To my surprise, he told me I can (he actually emailed me and used "should", rather than "can") legally say no, but I am not 100% comfortable. I did a lot of googling on SDN/reddit and it seems like 99.99% of cases they were advised to say yes. After much research, I learned that the school is in one of the states where the state medical boards ask questions about all arrests/charges/convictions regardless of disposition. But the arrest took place in another state where I don't have to disclose incidents that have been sealed. If I say yes, the school could potentially rescind the offer due to the nature of the arrest. But if i say no, the school somehow finds out and i will be immediately disqualified. what would you recommend i should do? Go with the lawyer's advice and don't disclose it or lay it all out to the school?
