What are the consequences of plagiarizing a college admissions essay and getting caug

<p>I was just wondering what would happen if a college admission officer notices that two essays that he has read are very similar, even exactly the same. What would he do about those two applicants? Would he contact them both, just one of them, or not consider their applications at all? Would the college contact other colleges that I applied to as well? I would really like an answer to this question. Thank you.</p>

<p>There's an ongoing discussion about this already. It's almost exactly the same question as far as I can tell.</p>

<p>Would withdrawing one's application be the best option to avoid any consequences (i.e. g.c. being contacted, other schools being notified)? How would one be able to to withdraw their application to the university?</p>

<p>didn't u ask this question earlier.. the college won't accept u if they find out u lied</p>
