Can I get into cybersecurity with dropped charges?

I'm starting my studies in cybersecurity next month. I already have a background in web development working for myself, and love software development as a whole.

But two years ago I was charged for Felony evasion and wreckless driving. The police lied, the judge dropped the charges.

I never attempted to evade, and was in the middle of a mental crisis and needed psychiatric help because I'm bipolar and was having a manic episode (my medication wasn't right yet).

But it shows up on my Chekr background check as an arrest without a conviction. I was denied on the Veryable app for the arrest, and I'm really concerned it will affect my ability to work in cybersecurity.
