Am I cooked?

Exam #6319 here, just got my initial medical date. Wondering if I should go through the process or if it will be a huge waste of time….I’m 29 right now, lead a modest life and haven’t been in any kind of trouble with the law recently. However, between the ages 20-22 I got in 2 separate alcohol related car crashes and was arrested for possession of cocaine (it was like a trace amount left in a bag and the case got dismissed and sealed but I feel like the nypd can prob still see it during background check)

I realize I’ll probably get judgement and I admit it’s not a good look especially to try and become a police officer. Does anyone have any similar type situation or know someone who does and still made it into the academy? Or is this pretty much guaranteed to DQ me? Brute honesty please and thank you
