If you have nothing else on your record, I'd look in to getting it expunged. Might cost a bit and be a pain with paperwork, but it'll be worth it in the end. I'm not 100% sure how it works, but it's not necessarily the school that is concerned with your criminal record, it's clinical sites. So if you're at a new clinical site ever 8 or so weeks, you'll be constantly writing essays or having an interview with someone to explain your background. It might be worth it to contact a lawyer just to get it removed so you won't have to deal with it anymore.
Good luck with everything!
