Another thing i want to add is....im a typical college student..yes i should have stayed away from alcohol after the first one....i agree totally....but i didnt...and that doesnt make me a alcoholic.....most students do what i do but just have not gotten caught yet...and i feel that is the only diffrence that there is between me and a normal college student..I got my work done...and then i did whatever i wanted to...i never slacked always went to school was in and still is in different organizations...did tons of community service....so for me i do not think i am an alcoholic....i do not think about it all the time and i do not need it really...i just drank it because i enjoyed a drink every now and then

It all depends upon what school you choose. Some may hold it against you while some may not. There may be some special conditions that the school may place on you (ie participation in in a certified drug/alcohol treatment program or proof of completion of such and/or a type of academic probation). Or you may have to go through a student version of a review board which is what doctors and/or lawyers have to go through if/when something like this happens to them. In addition, if you are looking for federal financial aid, you may be inelligible due to your conviction for up to two years. Best of luck to you.

Although I'm no expert on this, I don't know of any grad schools that do criminal background checks and I don't see why they would care that you got a DWI. The only reason I can imagine you having to tell anyone about it is if you are a felon trying to apply for financial aid . . . and even then, I don't know. Seriously, you should not be drinking. Especially if you're going to be a doctor. Doctors have to tell patients not to drink, so they should try to set a good example. If you find that every grad school in Texas has a question on their application about drinking and driving, then there's probably a law that requires them to ask and consider that in admission. Try another state if that happens because I REALLY doubt anyone cares about that when it comes to getting into grad school. Focus on getting good grades and staying sober, and hang out with different people if you need to. Good night!
Also, I thought I might add that most successful college students do NOT do what you did (in my experience). No offense, but haven't you ever taken driver's ed or health class? Alcohol is poisonous and it severely impacts your ability to drive even in small quantities. You should be thankful that you didn't kill anyone on your way home in your drunken condition. Just because other people do it doesn't mean anything. That's a logical fallacy called the bandwagon appeal.

regardless of the actuality that i'm no expert in this, i do no longer understand of any grad faculties that do criminal history tests and that i do no longer see why they might care which you obtain a DWI. the only reason i will think of you having to tell all people approximately it relatively is while you're a felon attempting to word for financial help . . . or maybe then, i do no longer understand. heavily, you will possibly desire to no longer be eating. tremendously while you would be a doctor. docs might desire to tell sufferers to no longer drink, so as that they might desire to attempt to set a solid occasion. in case you stumble on that each and every grad college in Texas has a question on their application approximately eating and driving, then there is possibly a regulation that calls for them to ask and examine that throughout the time of admission. try yet another state if that happens simply by fact i easily doubt all people cares approximately that once it includes entering into grad college. concentration on getting stable grades and staying sober, and hold close out with diverse human beings in case you may desire to. stable night! additionally, i assumed i might upload that maximum valuable college scholars do no longer do what you probably did (in my experience). No offense, yet have not you ever taken driving force's ed or wellness classification? Alcohol is poisonous and it heavily impacts your ability to tension even in small parts. you will possibly desire to be grateful which you probably did no longer kill all people on your way abode on your drunken situation. basically simply by fact human beings do it would not advise something. it relatively is a logical fallacy stated as the bandwagon allure.

The first thing you should focus on is your drinking problem. If you don't get that under control, it won't matter what else you do.
But if you do get it under control, you have endless possibilities for success.

My heartfelt advice is to go to AA. I wish you luck. As to what to focus on? Not drinking and driving.
As to grad school, they may hold it against you, I really don't know. Just don't try to hide it from them. If you get help (such as AA) then you can show you are trying to deal with your problems and they may not hold it against you.

1. you have a SERIOUS problem. I wouldn't want you for a doctor.
2. The grad school will probably move you to the top of the list for entrance, given how our universities operate.

Look on the application form. Does it ask about criminal record? No? OK. Think back... did college ask about criminal record... tick... tick... tick... no. OK. You're good to go.
Now, be a good boy, and stop drinking.

It is going to be alot harder to get in, If your families are rich and have connections then of course they can help pull the right strings.
