<p>My sophomore year sucked. I was suspended for 2 days in sophomore year for a facebook cheating ring. A classmate took pictures of a test we were allowed to look at for the period and posted them online. He convinced me to help him answer the questions and post the answers only. Out of the 2 euro classes in our year, 39/50 people joined the group. I have learned from my mistake.</p>

<p>This might hurt you because if it is on your academic record, it will be a part of your file for the school and that will go into the WCS equation. You will also have to acknowledge this on the app.</p>

<p>Nobody can give you any chances except to say there is 100% chance you will not get appointed if you don’t try.</p>

<p>I would suggest that you apply for SLS. SLS is a good EC.</p>

<p>I’m sorry but what’s SLS?</p>

<p>It is their summer leadership program for rising hs srs. I believe they open up the applications in January, and you find out around March. It is held at the AFA.</p>

<p>Students that attend this do not go through the traditional PCQ process like those who did not attend, so they automatically become an applicant. Additionally, if you try for this, understand they will administer the CFA, so start training for it now to max out those points.</p>

<p>There are many candidates that have managed to do the rounds for all of the SA’s summer programs.</p>

<p>thanks. do you know if they help out will the fees if your a low-income student?</p>

<p>Just to clarify, the CFA taken at Summer Seminar does not count for your application. It is simply a ‘practice’ test to see how it is done. Your official CFA will be administered later in the application process.</p>
