A nolo prossequi basically means that the case is being declined prosecution by the prosecutor. This could be for a variety of reasons, most commonly being that the defendant entered a pretrial intervention program, which would defer prosecution until the program is completed, wherein then the prosecutor would drop the charges.
A withholding of adjudication, on the other hand, is where the judge will not adjudicate you guilty, unless you violate the terms of any conditions for which that withholding of adjudication is being granted. Generally this means probation, a fine, or other sanction. However you will have still entered a plea of guilty, no contest, or have been found guilty in a trial. While there would be a declaration of guilt in this case, there would be no official record of it, which will give the defendant an opportunity to have the case sealed if he so qualifies. It will also preserve the civil rights of the defendant once he completes the sanctions that were given to him, provided he has no priors for which he was convicted.

No, charges dismissed and adjudication do not mean the same thing.

Therefore, a dismissal does not involve a formal adjudication of the charges.

Is adjudicated guilty the same as a conviction for a job application.?
Please understand that this is not legal advice. That said, the answer to this question depends on what state you're in. In some states, like Kentucky, an adjudication is equal to a conviction. In other states, like Michigan and Virginia, which make "adjudication" and "conviction" legally different things (like for instance, a juvenile adjudication versus adult conviction) an adjudication is NOT a conviction. Federal law concurs. In a case where two men with juvenile records were arrested as "felons in possession" of firearms, US District courts rules that in states that make the distinction, a person adjudicated of a crime is NOT prohibited from possessing a firearm since they have not be convicted.

In order to get it cleared off your record you would have to go through the same process regardless of whether it was a felony OR a misdemeanor. The process is known as expungement. There seems to be no point in going through the process of getting it reduced first. Suggest that you contact an attorney to assist you with the matter according to the laws of your state as the process is not a do-it-yoursef type exercise.
