Caught Cheating on Midterms. Will this affect admissions?

Just an update for anybody interested. I went to a meeting with my advisors and the dean of High school. Because it was my first transgression, they stated that they would give me a 0 on the assignment (giving me a C- in my AP Chinese Class), but they would not provide a note stating the circumstances. I am so grateful and appreciative for the second chance, and I will most definitely not waste it at the college I am currently attending.

I was accepted at UC Berkeley, UC Riverside, UCSD, UCSC, UCSB, UC Irvine, Scripps, USC, Carnegie Mellon, Claremont McKenna, and Pitzer. I decided to go to USC Viterbi School of Engineering (CS Major) for a new environment. Thank you to everyone who supported me and gave me comfort. I still can’t believe I got off easy but I won’t question my luck and just thank my lucky stars. I have learned so much from this experience and hope to never ever repeat this experience again. The feeling of heartache and the sheer dishonesty will always remain as a reminder if I ever think to go down that route again.
