Hey guys. I am applying for transfer to Georgia Tech, and I was wondering if Georgia Tech will request a conduct report from my current institution. I received a mark of academic dishonesty for using an online solver for Calc 2, but I received no disciplinary punishments. I also took a gap semester, so maybe that would make them request a conduct report? I don’t know if they would even bother to request my conduct file, so I don’t know if I should disclose my academic dishonesty infringement. If they do, however, I would like to explain what happened. Thanks.
Yes. That actually severely hurts your chances to begin with, but I suppose explaining what happened might help. Still, its more common to not have any sort of mark, and because tech can take the top of the top, they might automatically throw out anyone involved with academic dishonesty. They ask on the common app if youve ever had legal issues, like a felon etc. Why wouldn’t an institution request an academic conduct record? I suggest emailing their admissions office for a direct answer.
