<p>Let me begin by stating that this is my first time cheating, as well as being caught. Today, I made the decision to cheat , as I fell asleep and didn't study for a test. I know it was stupid and shouldn't have been done, but now I'm in this boat; the teacher caught me and took my math test. I know I'll receive a 0% (which may cause me to fail the class), and with my school's zero tolerance cheating policy, it will be put on my transcript. I've already been accepted to Kelley's school of Business as a direct admit with an unweighted GPA around 3.63/ weighted around 3.84, ACT 30. Do you think I will still have the opportunity to go to Kelley's? I'm feeling pretty awful right now, and with my school's strict policy (and with stories I've heard in the past), I feel like they may send a letter to IU to reconsider my admission. Do you think my admission will be rescinded, and is there anything I can do? </p>
<p>No you’re done dude…gpa too low</p>
<p>If your school tells the college, it sounds very possible that they could rescind for academic dishonesty. </p>
<p>Even if your school doesn’t formally report this to IU, if they put it on the transcript, IU will see it on the final report. So Job 1: talk to your guidance counselor and find out exactly what will happen. 2. If it will go on your transcript, find out if you can appeal this action. 3. If it turns out that IU will definitely find out, send the admissions office a formal letter by snail mail explaining the situation and why they should not hold it against you. Be proactive. Admit that you screwed up. Tell them you have character references available, and make sure they are good ones. Get feedback on the letter before you send it. It should be exceptionally well written.</p>
<p>Same advice as the above poster. Talk to your guidance counselor as soon as possible. The same thing happened to a recruited athlete at my son’s high school. All his offers were rescinded, however the high school worked with him, finding a small private school that accepted him. </p>
<p>Alright, I’ve talked with my guidance counselor. As it turns out, the college will not be notified. The only punishment (because of my good record) will be a 0 on the test and a 6 percent reduction in my final Calc grade. This means that I will likely not pass the class. As it stands, my final cumulative GPA will be 3.83 (it was actually 3.89 before). With a single failed class and no classes lower than a B beforehand, do you think this will affect my admittance? </p>
<p>So if the college sees the failure, won’t they want to know why and they’ll eventually find out about the cheating anyway?</p>
<p>Now you need to find out from IU if they will rescind for the F… If it’s not a required course, maybe not…if so, maybe you can repeat this summer. Any chance of dropping this course completely now?</p>
<p>Seriously, don’t worry about it. You already got in and no one is going to notice on your transcript. Don’t listen to anyone else. </p>
<p>I don’t agree that no one will notice your final transcript. My cousin let his grades slip second semester senior year and Cal Poly SLO rescinded his offer. Colleges do check final transcripts and a call to IU would be better than an email retracting the offer. </p>
<p>If it is AP calc, take the AP test and get a good grade on it. Then, when IU contacts you about the failure, show them you have mastered calculus plus tell them that you promise to do well in college, study hard, learned how important it is to stay on top of things in school etc. Don’t mention cheating!!! Much better chance of maintaining acceptance with NO MENTION OF CHEATING.</p>
<p>I don’t agree at all. I think you should be straight forward and be honest about it, instead of trying to cover it up. Contact the admissions department yourself and tell them. The longer you try to cover it up, the worse it will look when you get found out, and I promise you will.</p>
<p>I disagree. I am all for honesty but in this case, if they don’t ask, don’t proactively tell them. But if a 6% reduction in your final Calc grade suddenly means that you will not pass the class, that means that you were already getting a D in the class??? So let me ask you what your parents have already asked you - why didn’t you study for this test??? Why were you getting a D in the class to start with? So whether you get an F or a D, be able to explain WHY. A 6% change in grade isn’t a huge big deal in the grand scheme of things – in your case, though, it moves you from a D to an F. Be able to explain how the hell you were getting a D in the class while all your other classes were a B or above. And I agree with naviance, start spending every spare moment you can with a tutor and/or your Calc teacher, and get a B or above on the Calc final – that might just pull you up that same 6%… and get a 3 or above on the AP Calc exam. </p>
<p>There is high probability that an F cause IU to rescind your admission. </p>
<p>You fell asleep and didn’t study for a test…this tells me you are only studying the night before the test.
For a class that you are not doing very well in. Not a good plan. Not working in HS, totally won’t work in College.</p>
<p>Like others say, you need to turn your Calculus grade around. Colleges will and have rescinded offers because of grades. Why would they want someone who will fail to come to their school?</p>
<p>Don’t give up on Calculus…talk to your teacher and see if you can show mastery of the material, would it be possible for you to pass? Then get a tutor and start workign hard. Get a good grade on the AP test.</p>

<p>I don’t think StevD77 had a low score/ D to begin with. It’s the 0 on the test that most likely killed his grade; then there’s the 6% reduction on top of that.</p>
<p>If your final grade report indicates an F for the year grade (they don’t care about one quarter, but the FINAL grade for each subject as sent in May or June) then you’ll likely be rescinded. If you turn your grade around and that’s sufficient for a C yearly average, you’ll be okay, but even a D could get you rescinded (generally does).</p>
