It may be just semantics here, but a couple of times the Op (referring to the DUI charge) has said the law “didn’t prove” it. I know this informal forum is not the same as an explanation to the school, but using that phrase sounds to my ear like a guilty person that knows they slipped something past the authorities. Actually, since the charge didn’t go to court, they didn’t have to prove it- because it was dropped.

Imo saying the charge was dropped or that they didn’t pursue it sounds much nicer.
