It's a criminal record. You should hire a DUI specialist to explore alternatives to pleading guilty.

It really depends on how the applications air worded, but it could have a very negative effect. You should consult with an attorney if you have not already retained one.

When did the DWI happen? If it is pending, it may affect your application. In any event, you need to disclose this if the application asks about any arrests or convictions.
