<p>A senior at my school was accepted to UVA ED this year. Today she was caught cheating on her calculus test by the teacher. I'm not sure if the school is going to tell UVA or not, but if they find out, will her acceptance be rescinded? I know how much stress UVA places on its honors system, but then again people do make mistakes. Just curious as to what you all think will happen.</p>
<p>I'm not in to uva yet, but from what I hear the honor code is one of the strictest around. If they tell uva, I would think they might reconsider her admission. (btw... what kind of idiot cheats on a test when they are already in ED?!?!?!?)</p>
<p>yeah, I don't even know. I was shocked to find out... I couldn't believe she cheated...</p>
<p>yea i think tenniskid99 is right. From talking to former UVA students like cav, globalist, untitled, sv3a, wahoo, they all really say that the honor code is HUGE at uva.</p>
<p>I agree with everything tenniskid said, including the big IF, and including how stupid someone would be to cheat once they are already into school...</p>
<p>I'm actually a new honor counsel (kind of like a lawyer at the honor trials) at uva. They haven't specifically told us anything about offenses in high school. To have an honor charge brought up against you, it's a long and relatively complicated process that involves investigations/trials, and takes a good deal of work. All the trials I have ever heard of involved offenses occuring with the university itself. The admissions officers themselves don't participate in this student-run system, so it doesn't really deal directly with an honor offense. Of course, the admissions officers may decide on their own terms to rescind admission, but I haven't heard of that happening. Still, if she does continue to come to uva, she better clean up her act in that respect because we do indeed take our honor code very seriously compared to other schools.</p>
<p>I doubt she'll get booted.</p>
<p>naaa a kid from my school cheated on his calc AP and still got into harvard lol</p>
<p>Well, she probably cheated because she knows she needs to maintain her GPA even though she's already made it in. If her grades had a big performance drop, they'd without a doubt reconsider her admission.</p>
<p>how big of a performance drop we talking?</p>
<p>I'm gonna say it'd have to be a more than large drop. I mean, they understand that we tend to slack towards the end of senior year. But it's safe to say that something in the neighborhood of a 2.0 gpa drop is bad.</p>
<p>yeah she is nowhere near that though. nowhere near. well i hope she doesn't get booted. she's an awesome person otherwise, and this is the first time i've ever heard her doing anything like this. i think she still deserves to go to uva, if this was just a mistake.</p>
<p>pretty dumb to cheat any which way, in a school, not in a school. i feel sorry for her she's probably freaking out. or she should be</p>
