medical school and a criminal record?

Question by zaire f: medical school and a criminal record?
Hi, I am a 27 year old junior majoring in sociology and pre-medicine. I hope to become a psychiatrist but i realize I have huge obstacles. When I was 20 years old, I became addicted to meth and heroine. I battled with the drug for over 4 years and accumulated several things on my criminal record. I was convicted of disorderly conduct (high), trespassing(sleeping on a college campus), giving out false information (2X)( being to high to properly give my name out) Forgery(signing the wrong name)…I was also charged and dismissed of giving out false information (2X), theft by deception(not making payments on a sofa from rent-a-center), forgery(signing the wrong name),resisting arrest ( caught sleeping in park)…..I have been off of drugs for over 3 years and have completely changed my life around. I currently have a 3.6 GPA and will graduate after only 3 years. I have extensive volunteer work and I serve on the Student Government. What should I do? Are my chances completely destroyed?

You should apply and not assume you’re screwed. Sounds like you’re doing great.
