Are minor charges for juvenile theft and burglary enough to not pass the background check?

I am a sophomore year in college, looking for opportunities in Investment Banking. When I was 16 I got arrested together with two friends for breaking into a house to steal. Since I did not have any  record I just had to pay a fine, and do some community work. I am a total changed man now, but I am afraid these charges can come back to me when I apply to Investment Banks. 

I though IB firms only looked for Financial-related crimes such as fraud, money laundry, bribery... Do you think I can get caught for this? Is there anything I can do to prove that I have changed, maybe talking to HR or to a director
