Unable to answer specifically, but more than likely not. You will have to contact the Pennsylvania State Bar Association to determine the OFFICIAL answer to this question.
This answer is not entirely accurate. The ABA is generally more interested in your ability to be frank and candid, rather than any misgivings you might have in your past. If you were admitted to law school, the school likely believes that the event happened sufficiently long ago or there is some reason that it could be "explained."
Also, the ABA may impose certain rehabilitative requirements on you (such as counseling, drug testing, as appropriate, etc.) or you may be given a probation period.
There is a story of a FL lawyer who had been convicted of something like 28 crimes and he was admitted to the Bar and is an attorney in good standing.
