Most of the time if you just tell them what happened they may be lenient but if you flat our lie you could cut your own throat.
you have some time from now till you graduate. what you NEED to do is find out if this really was removed off your record. till then, KEEP QUIET..... now if it is not removed, contact your lawyer. when you fill out applications, then you will have to note this. find out for sure what the misdemeanor charge will be. but typically, a misdemeanor should NOT be as big a problem as a felony.....
