<p>During my second year at college, I was convicted of plagiarism for an assignment where I used phrases from an Internet source. The professor reported for not citing the sources and for improperly paraphrasing the author(s) work. The paper was due on a Monday and that weekend was a major religious holiday for my family and I. I went home that weekend and I didnt give myself time finish the paper. Instead of asking the professor for an extension until Tuesday, I foolishly aid nothing and I ended up turning in work that was not properly cited or originally mine. Unfortunately the school I was at have VERY strict academic dishonestly sanction. The only sanction was expulsion. I confessed to what I had done and I was expelled. This was all happening in the middle of the spring semester. At first I contemplated killing myself because I did not think I could live with the shame and regret for what I had done. When I started having theses suicidal thoughts, I started seeing a psychiatrist and towards the end of the fall, I starting thinking about trying to apply to other schools. I was very pessimistic about my chances of getting into another school but to my surprise another school accepted me. Every since I have tried my best to never allow something like this to happen. It was during my first semester at my new school that I started thinking about applying to medical school. My GPA is 3.919, I am biochemistry major. I have taken the MCATs yet. I am part of community service organization, I volunteer at my new schools hospital, I am doing research with my organic chemistry professor this summer. Despite all these great things I have going I keeping asking myself where I should apply? Do I still have a chance? Thanks. Any feedback would be good.</p>
<p>Do well on MCATs and GPA and write your confession/explanation on your application. Maybe two stikes</p>
