I spent the five happiest years of my life in a morgue. As a forensic scientist in the Cleveland coroner’s office I analyzed gunshot residue on hands and clothing, hairs, fibers, paint, glass, DNA, blood and many other forms of trace evidence, as well as crime scenes. Now I'm a certified latent print examiner and CSI for a police department in Florida. I also write a series of forensic suspense novels, turning the day job into fiction. My books have been translated into six languages.
It almost certainly would not be a deal-breaker. Just tell them the truth.
Go to a college that offers a degree in forensic science. Each college or university should have a website where they list the degrees they provide.
Not that I'm aware of. Are you sure they were destroyed? Or simply not located at that office?
I'm afraid not. I'm guessing that would depend entirely on how large the bandage is and how much the person bled. Best of luck!

Yes. It's not common, but prints have been lifted using superglue or the more recent RTX. The best areas would be those that are smooth, clean and largely free of hair.
If you page up to the very first question, the answer goes into this in some detail.
As far as I know that shouldn't happen because functions stop when the person dies, but that's really a question for a pathologist. I also don't know if swelling, depending upon where it is, might happen as a result of the hanging. Sorry I can't be more help.
