More details to this question:
I was charged with a misdemeanor for possession of a fraudulant ID. I wasn't using the ID for anything. A cop just saw it when he pulled me over for a traffic violation. My lawyer got me to do informal deferment, and my charges were dismissed. Will this affect me in the future? I am applying for grad schools soon. Was I convicted? Will I have to answer "yes" to "Have you ever been convicted of a.." Thanks

From the information you provided, you have not been "convicted" so you would answer "no" to any question asking if you have a "conviction".

There is no law in Georgia that I know of that governs this. When in doubt, tell the truth.

It was dismissed so you were not convicted.
