I regrettably cheated on a midterm exam during my junior year. I was recovering from an ACL surgery and found it difficullt to stay focused. As a result, I was unprepared for my assessments in my course.
I have one record of cheating on my transcript. After getting denied from one college, I fear that I won’t get accepted into any college.
I would love to hear people’s stories of acceptance despite having a record of academic dishonesty on file. I’ve submitted all my apps to colleges along with it a disciplinary statement.
I hope that colleges award my honesty and can understand that I have learned from this incident.
I have a 3.8 W GPA and a 2140 SAT, and I wish that colleges will give me a chance and not blacklist me immediately.
Please tell me your thoughts, give me your opinions, and let me hear your stories.
