<p>Rather than working on ways to salvage “his” college admissions, I think you should be focusing on ways to salvage his dishonest approach to academics. He’s already been caught twice for offenses serious enough to warrant significant consequences; it’s likely that he got away with multiple other ethical slips. If admitted to college, the probability is that he will continue to do so.</p>
<p>The question is WHY he feels the need to cheat. Does he not understand the instructions or have some sort of learning difference? Is he under so much pressure to do well that he sees no other option? Has he learned from his family or school that the end justifies the means (as in apply from another school next year and hide the academic dishonesty history)? Is he lazy? Until you sort out the underlying cause, the behavior will continue.</p>
