<p>Hi so I'm kind of freaking out right now and need help...</p>

<p>Northwestern's essay wanted some info on your anticipated major</p>

<p>....i want to do international studies but I wasn't exactly sure what the Northwestern program brought to the table. So, I looked on their website on practically word for word copied a couple of sentences and put it in my essay. IS THIS CHEATING!?! At the time, I seriously just thought that it would just show them that I did some research on the program. Let me know. Unfortunately, I already sent it.</p>

<p>That’s not only cheating, but plagiarism. But don’t fret about it – it is unlikely that the admissions department finds out – unless you tell them. Usually, they are not the ones writing the website information.</p>

<p>Don’t do it for any more schools! </p>

<p>Best of luck.</p>
