Criminal record and F1 visa

Hello, I am hoping to apply for my PhD in a STEM subject in the US. My grades have been excellent. I am now 22 years old, but as a juvenile was in trouble with the law a few times. I have 10 arrests from between the ages of 15-17, all of which were simple battery and criminal damage. I got 2 convictions for 10 offences (in youth court, battery + crim damage), a youth caution for computer hacking and a charge for a serious assault which I was acquitted of. I know it sounds awful... however as I was a juvenile I know I'm technically not inadmissible. As such,in my DS-160 would it be wise to say womething along the lines of ' I have been in trouble with law enforcement but only as a juvenile and as such am not inadmissible under section......'?

​

Also there doesn't seem to be a place on the DS-160 where I can upload letters of support from my teachers etc. which shows I have been rehabilitated

A few questions: I filed my N400 naturalization on March 23, 2020. Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...
