Hello all,
I'm currently applying for Texas medical license. I just submitted my application couple hours ago, and suddenly I realized that I have answered 2 questions incorrectly (unintentionally). These questions have to do with criminal history section: 1) have you been arrested? 2) have you been convicted?
So I did have a small misdemeanor history almost 10 years ago, and at that time I was NOT arrested (only charged to appear to court) and was NOT convicted (plea of guilty made that resulted in probational period and later case was marked "completed and cleared" which means NOT convicted).
I don't know what I was thinking, but out of panic (yes, every time I have to disclose this history on any licensing process I panic), I answered YES arrested, YES convicted.
Are there any inputs to my situations? If I withdraw my application to submit a corrected application, will it affect my future applications? (i.e. will it be a red flag?) If so, should I just try to keep it as it is, and submit additional statement explaining what ACTUALLY happened 10 years ago?
I can't believe what I have done to myself... I'm in a complete disbelief that I basically potentially ruined my own career. I really wish to move to Texas post-residency and this seems like a big deal at the moment. Will my application be rejected....
