<p>I imagine there are some schools that, although they would strongly look down upon plagiarism, would be more forgiving. It’s only a matter of figuring out which institutions those are. This doesn’t have to be the end of your college career, but don’t get your hopes up for any very prestigious private schools. Have you thought about attending a strong public school like UVA, Michigan, UCLA etc? Those schools might give you another shot if you make it clear that you won’t do it again.</p>
