<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>During Junior year I got into some major trouble by joining a group of friends to work together on a HW assignment. We split up terms to define the words in APUSH since we were having a hell-week with ridiculous assignments in our AP classes. Most of the kids that I worked with were ivy-prone and the top students of our class. I know there is no excuse for cheating as it is comparable to robbing a bank or anything that is so unethical. I know that you will feel like bashing and flaming my post. Don't bother. I've already understood the magnitude of my failure and arrogance to disrespect the school rules, as well as the administration to think that we would not have gotten caught.</p>
<p>What I need to know is this: Will this 1 day in house suspension (not knowing if it shows up on my transcript) and this "Cheating File" ruin my chances into going to UCLA, UCB, USC, or any private schools?</p>
<p>***I am a top ranked athlete and I may get recruited or be allowed to "walk-on" to some of these schools. If the college coach endorses my application or even accepts me, will I still have a chance of getting rescinded? I heard that the UC application does not contain a box that asks for Academic Dishonesty, but that we have to include it on our transcript to eliminate the surprise or shock in the adcoms at the school. In addition, I know that we are supposed to write an essay. Will this still</p>
<p>Stats:
GPA Weighted: ~3.7
Unweighted: 3.5 (took all accel and aps soph and junior year)
SAT: 1950, going to raise it to 2150+ hopefully
SAT2s weak.. USH: 620
ECs: varsity tennis (frosh)
speech oratory captain (soph)
high-placed finalist of several varsity national invitational speech tournaments in freshman and sophmore year
Volunteering hours like everyone else...
Coached kids tennis
USTA Top 20 B16s
hopefully USTA Top 20 in 18s soon</p>
<p>Honestly, I do not think I am a bad person, or one with bad character, it's just that I was not able to handle the athletic regimen that I Chose to follow and the AP classes that i Chose to take. Of course, this failure lays on me and only me because it was my responsibility to handle the course load that I chose. In the end, I just hope that all the work that I've put into my athletic career as well as my academic career, will not tumble down because of this dire mistake.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
