<p>I kind of enjoyed reading it . . . not that I enjoy people suffering. I just enjoyed reading it.</p>
<p>It made me sad to read it, especially this line: “they literally ruined my life” because it shows the OP still hadn’t taken responsibility for what she did.</p>
<p>i know someone who cheated and got caught by CB. CB sent a letter to him saying that he will be placed on the “blacklist” (if there is such a thing) and will cancel October test. Can this be true? What can he do? He is not a bad person. Just a lapse of judgement. Does he have any chance at good schools he was looking at before he got caught cheating? Will CB really cancel his score in Oct?</p>
<p>major-regret- although you made a mistake, you’ve definitely learned a lot from it. Don’t listen to people who say you won’t go to college or whatever…you have the scores, classes, and extracurriculars to get you into a good college. My biggest advice to you would to maket your college essay about this incident…make it a genuine and GOOD essay. college admins love to see people who have learned from their mistakes.</p>
<p>also you said you could do a good interview…this will definitely help you</p>
<p>Hey I know this sounds super crazy but maybe you could write your college essay on it. I think you could actually pull of a pretty good essay if you are a good enough writer. You could write about how cheating changed you as a person because of the consequences and how you learned to take responsibility for your actions. This would be a very riscky essay topic but don’t colleges like that? I mean it would definitely stand out because thats the last thing that the adcom would expect from someone who cheated on the SATs, and it would show them that you aren’t embaressed of it and are willing to be extremely open about it. Who knows…it might actually just work. Anyways, I hope for the best for you and I hope you figure everything out.</p>
<p>I think it’s too late for that, seeing as they were in 11th grade in spring 2008, thus graduating like 2 months ago.</p>
<p>i never knew people actually did what you did. I have always heard about it - like an urban legend - wow, that’s hard for me to understand. Can you read what the rec lady will write? I am just thinking that your taking the SAT for someone who was going to do poorly may not have really helped that person anyway…I just can’t see the why…sorry.
Of course you shouldn’t be looked at for this mistake as a cheater loser all your life because obviously you haven’t done other things likes this…right? apply to schools that don’t require a rec letter - you don’t always have to have one you know. and if you do find the college/university that does require one…turn it into a challenge - you know tell the bone truth and use your intelligence to and education to tell the story of what happened to you and how and what you have gained and lost from the experience…I think a decent college wants people who are not so robotic(hoping) and can understand humanity. There has got to be an admissions person who has also made some mistake and wants to be respected now and not dragged down all the time by his or her past. You may find a someone who will go to bat for you.<br>
are you spiritual? I would ask God for forgiveness and wisdom. This doesn’t have to be a tragedy…make some lemonade out of the lemon of your bad choice. God can fix any broken thing if you give Him the pieces and ask for His restoration. I have experienced this myself.</p>
<p>From reading your unfortunate but past mistake I would really like to know what college that you ended up going in!? (please reply!)</p>
<p>Your guidance counselor is a *****.</p>
<p>nice username</p>
<p>Never mind - this thread is old.</p>
<p>This also makes me wonder where the OP ended up going…o.o;</p>
<p>moral of the story: snitchers and snitching suck, badly. ***** ALL YALL SNITCHERS!</p>
<p>Seriously what you did isn’t horrible. As Nightsd, kids sell dope, rob people, brutally beat other kids, and a variety of other things. You (or your persona) tried to help someone succeed in life. That someone was future-oriented and conscious of her academic situation, and wanted to do whatever she could to make it better. If anything, it just shows how dedicated kids are these days.</p>
<p>Wonder what happened to OP.</p>
<p>According to one of my best friends, this new teacher at our school was proctoring for the SATs. The teacher fell asleep halfway through the essay section and wound up waking up ten minutes after time had been called (giving everyone in the room ten extra minutes for the essay). The entire SAT got canceled.</p>
<p>And it sucks especially since it was the last SAT before EA deadlines.</p>
