Agree with Northstarmom. Being completely and genuinely contrite and sorry for your ‘sins’ means a lot in the honor code judicial system. It seems you argued on the wrong side of the fence. In business, you will be faced with ethical decisions every day and the cheaters can get into a lot of trouble and bring the company down with them.

Own up to your past. Be honest, forthright and express regret, lesson learned and it won’t happen again. Its unfortunate the clients were not expelled. That is very unfair. But that is not your business. Focus on your situation, your remedies and humbly ask the new schools you apply to, to admit you and give you a second chance.

I agree that second tier or third tier schools are your best bet. TELL THEM IN ADVANCE WHAT HAPPENED. Don’t let your transcript from Bentley be the first time they find out what happened. In fact, I would call these schools before you applied and ask for an interview to discuss your situation and see if they will be receptive right up front. If so, then submit your application (have it ready and your application fee ready to hand to them personally).

DO NOT EVER LIE. DECEPTION IS A VERY BAD THING.
