Got caught cheating, feel terrible

Is it noted on your transcript - i.e. did you fail a class?

If not, there’s nothing to worry about.

If it is, use the section on the app to explain what you did and honestly, there are some schools that ask about a time you faced adversity - what a terrific subject if you handle it right. Messed up. How I recovered. What i learned, etc.

Colleges want authenticity.

Common App won’t ask about this and assuming you have great grades, it’s not noted so you skated by.

Even if it was noted or a school asks - don’t hide from it. It happened - show how you’ve grown, recovered.

No one is perfect and honesty is always your best policy.

But i don’t think it will come up.
