Plagerism, Bad Situation

<p>Copy and pasted a paragraph or two for some written work. Got caught. I was overwhelmed by work at the time and it is a decision i regret. </p>

<p>I will recieve a 0 on the assignment, this will drop my grade a little bit but since i have a strong A now it will be at worst go to a C for a little bit before i can get it back up again (there is still alot of work left to do in the term so im not especially worried about my grade). My grade is not the thing i am worried about, Colleges will/may be notified (up to the deans, ill assume the worst). I've already been accepted to several places UAlbany, Temple, UMaine, UOregon... </p>

<p>Right now i feel I feel incredibly ****ty about this whole situation and i feel terrible that i let myself slip up like this. What kind of consquences am i looking at.</p>

<p>For some reason i was unable to edit this part in. This will be the first offense on my transcript.</p>

<p>There is a limit on how long a post is open for editing.</p>

<p>As far as consequences, that is up to your HS and your college. Your HS may or may not mention it on your record. Then it is up to the college to consider the weight of what you’ve done. Some might just consider it youthful learning, others might consider it grave since it is academically dishonest.</p>

<p>Whatever the outcome, you should apologize to your teacher and/or whoever is involved. Sometimes apologizing can help the situation, if not, at least make you feel better. Tell them the truth and come clean. If they still decide to take action, it is their choice, rightfully so. So you made a mistake, and hopefully learned a lesson.</p>

<p>I don’t think your school will tell any of the colleges. Just know that you should never do this in college as palgerism and cheating can get you expelled.</p>
