Is minor consumption we should try to get expunged from her record or just pay the fine?

My 20 year old daughter received a minor for alcohol consumption. She drank a lot, combined with cold medicine, and got very sick at a party. I didn't exactly consent to blood alcohol, but was scared getting pulled off to the side by the deputy. Paramedics did the finger prick, blood pressure cuff, etc. she was clearly drunk. Ticket is payable $178 and currently listed as a misdemeanor. She is a college student planning to apply to Physician Assistant grad school in 2 years, and currently working with disabled adults in a group home (position that required background clearance). I also read that this might be considered petty misdemeanor since it's under $200 or $300.
