How heavily does the board weigh legal waivers when they see them on a selection board package? Do they read the whole waiver and consider how long ago the event took place? Do they consider the final disposition (dismissed vs convicted?) Do they consider if it happened while you were a Juvenile vs an adult? Do they consider the actual charge? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Background: I had to get a felony waiver for a "fight" between me and mom that I went to talk to a school councilor to back when I was in high school. This counselor then got the police involved and the county/state ended up charging me originally with felony assault (I lived in an extremely conservative, throw the books at you county) The next week the charges were lowered to misdemeanor assault and battery. Because I openly admitted what I did it was adjudicated and I "served" one years good behavior probation in which all charges were dismissed for it being my first offense. I was a juvenile and the event occurred over 12 years ago with no other criminal record. I have a stellar GPA in unique STEM degree medical program (3.96 Clinical Laboratory Science), Medical Certifications, great LOR's, and fairly decent ASTB scores 58 7/7/7. Will the board take mercy on me?
