<p>Lastly, my biggest concern comes here.
I received a warning for copying off a sentence from the website my freshmen year, and I received a one strike for leaving the campus to get a haircut without permission my junior year. I wrote an extremely good and well-explained essays regarding my incidents, and I want to know how these incidents will effect my chances. Although, my freshmen year warning does not appear on the transcript, I reported on my essay because I wanted to be truthful. Thank you!!!</p>

<p>@BlueLemon Great ECs! You seem to have a decent shot even with the competition from your country,
The subject tests are a bit low
But always remember Ivy Leagues are quite unpredictable </p>
