I was charged with possession of marijuana and paraphernalia in NEW JERSEY (not as a juvenile). Both charges were dismissed and I also filed an expungement (which was completed successfully). I did not need to participate in any diversionary program, nor did I have to go through probation.
Basically, this is how everything happened: I went to court the first time and the paraphernalia charge was dismissed. I went to court a second time a few weeks later, and the possession charge was dismissed.
I have no other criminal history.
I have to get a background check and a child abuse check done for a health professions school I am applying to. I was wondering what will show up on the background check.
FYI: I know that all background checks are not created equally and the answer to my question depends on the background check, so please do not give me that response. I am looking for anyone that has gone through a similar experience or anyone that has done a background check.
Any input on this would be much appreciated.
Thanks
