<p>Kind of makes you appreciate UVa or West Point, doesn’t it.</p>
<p>^ Yes (spoken as a grad of a different academy with an honor code).</p>
<p>Ok, I just wanted to post a couple comments here in response to a few things that you all were saying.</p>
<p>To the first couple of posters who replied to the thread talking about how it is a complete loss of integrity for wanting to cheat my way out of getting caught cheating, I truly appreciate those words, because they are absolutely 100% right. As a matter of fact, posting this topic to you guys has shined a new light on the situation. </p>
<p>To a certain extent, I’ve been feeling sorry about myself and haven’t been feeling as remorseful about what I did as to being remorseful that I got caught and it has completely thrown my college chances into a gamble. </p>
<p>The fact is, you all are right. I cheated, and I deserved to get caught. Now I need to man up about it. You all are right, and once again I appreciate you all being brutally honest with me because, to be honest, it’s opened my eyes completely on the whole situation.</p>
<p>born2dance: the statement that your school erases any history for ‘high performing’ students seems like hearsay to me. How would you know this for a fact?</p>
<p>@crizello Oh I can guarantee it isn’t. The teachers always get mad whenever it happens because suddenly kids who cheated in their class, and did other things (in one case a kid who is currently a senior threatened a teacher last year) are now free to apply to all the top colleges, so some of them complain to us.</p>
<p>Plus I personally know a few of the kids whose records are now erased. They aren’t discreet; most of them brag about the fact that they ended up getting away with things. Like I said, it is a WELL-KNOWN FACT in my school.</p>
<p>cdpierce727, I wish you the best of luck. I think that you will get accepted somewhere and be able to move on with honor, and achieve what you will on your own volition.</p>
