To start this off, I have learned and accepted the consequences of academic dishonesty, I am just trying to see my options.
Currently, I am a chemical engineering student with a minor in music, with a 3.59GPA going into my sophomore year of college, extremely involved. I made a big mistake, and was caught cheating on my orgo final exam.
I received an F in the class, but the reason is not reflected in my transcript, but I understand that I must give this information of “academic dishonesty” if ever asked by an application.
That being said, what are my options for companies or grad school within my current university or at another one? Do I still have a shot at competitive universities if I take this dishonesty as a learning experience, and do extremely well from sophomore year and beyond.
I looked at my school’s graduate school application and it asks to explain what academic misconduct I had. Do I still have a shot at getting into my school’s masters program in the future?
I just want to move on from this, so any encouraging experiences or information will help,
Thank you!
