<p>If u cheated - copied a part of the assignment from a friend’s - and got caught by the school after u got accepted to Brown, would it be rescinded?
If it would, would a thoughtful letter to the college help against it though?</p>
<p>What action did you school take? Will it appear on your transcript? Is your guidance counselor going to write Brown? If so, then maybe a letter woulld help, although you might just be screwed anyway.</p>
<p>he got suspended for 3 days, and the GC IS going to write Brown about it. But then he wrote it as to support him against being rescinded (compliments, potential etc)…I really dont want his admittance to Brown to be rescinded since he’s been such a hardworking student and this is the first serious mistake he has ever done in his life. You dont understand how far he’s willing to go not to get his admittance rescinded.</p>
<p>if it’s an assignment, then 90% of kids that do or don’t go to brown, have done it. </p>
<p>If it’s a test/essay we’re getting into more serious things, but if it’s not the latter, you should be ok. Make sure to write about how it made you a better person and that it inspired you to donate your entire summer earnings to hungry african orphans.</p>
<p>b…u…m…p</p>
<p>Brown rates character pretty highly, so I’m sure this will be considered a very serious offense. As is getting suspended.</p>
<p>admission will probably be rescinded… they rescind for cs and ds, i’m pretty sure theyll rescind for a three day suspension, especially when the school is grounded in the honor code.</p>
<p>i hope i’m wrong for the sake of your friend.</p>
<p>he should steal the letter that the guidance person wrote before it is sent</p>
<p>
Your source?</p>
<p>Cs are not typically automatically grounds for rescinding. Espicially, if you have a reason for the drop. I mean, I won’t say always. But, everything I’ve heard and seen suggests that such a rule is not policy.</p>
<p>My source? Admissions officers. In numerous info sessions theyve said: 'don’t let your grades slip after you get in. We <em>will</em> send letters if you have a considerable dive in grades, such as from an A to a C, and if there is no reasonable explanation, your offer will be rescinded."</p>
<p>I think if an offer were rescinded it would have happened by now.</p>
<p>i agree with bjrwrh.</p>
<p>dude that sucks. i’m very sorry for your friend. I mean getting caught cheating because of something as stupid and silly as one homework assignment. Talk about ironic. To cheat on tests or plagarize in an essay is infinitely worse.</p>
<p>1) Tell him that what he did wasn’t exactly the most horrific crime.</p>
<p>2) I think that you and your friend should sit down and have a couple of beers and talk about something else. </p>
<p>Wait a minute, your both most likely underage; if his good old counselor somehow found out about the beers, he’d write another little letter to Brown which would make things worse. </p>
<p>Matter of fact, I think his counselor is sadistic for writing this letter to Brown. I mean cheating on something so minute and worthless as a homework assignment…and the ridiculous counselor having to screw him over as a result. I mean what’s the counselor’s excuse? :::::</p>
<p>“Look son, I really like you and I think your a great student and I know this isn’t typical of you…but, I’m going to try and screw you over anyway so I’ll write a letter to Brown letting them know everything about the little incident. Have a good day though.”</p>
<p>If worst comes to worst and your friend gets rescinded from Brown, tell him to go to his best safety school. Then, tell him to study hard at that school for 1 year and reapply to Brown and other top schools. Most colleges place 2/3 rd’s emphasis on high school and only 1/3 in college if the transfer student applies to their after one year of the transfer school. </p>
<p>It is imperative that you convey to your friend the message that I have just conveyed to you. Okay? Also, tell him not to cheat again (but I’m he’s not the kind of kid who would do it).</p>
<p>the guidance counselor wrote for damage control, not as the cause of the damage. (disciplinary report from the school being the cause)</p>
<p>In that case, I owe a sincere apology to his counselor. Whoever (the specific person or specific group of people) has purposely informed Brown about this kid’s minor offense is the deserving of my insults that I made in my last post.</p>
<p>The harry potter guy has got a point even though he initially misplaced his criticism.</p>
<p>A) This friend of yours who has been so perseverant and dedicated the last 4 years of his high school career has NOT exhibited such an impressive performance in school in vain regardless of whether or not his admission into Brown is rescinded.</p>
<p>B) He can easily go to another good school; do well and reapply to Brown and other top schools after 1 year. Normally, it is inadvisable for a student to apply as a transfer to a top school until he has completed at least 2 years at his transfer institution but in your friend’s case is different from the typical transfer student. </p>
<p>The typical transfer student does not have an impressive high school record unlike your friend’s and the very goal of the “typical transfer student” is redeem himself from the poor performance he exhibited in high school. By the way, in the long run, your friend’s suspension; which will be shown on his high school transcripts is not going to be a big deal at all.</p>
<p>Because colleges place 2/3 rd’s emphasis of the high school background and only 1/3’rd emphasis of the transfer college’s background (provided the applicant apply’s as a transfer only after one year); as long as your friend does well at his transfer college, he will have a great chance of getting into a top school equivalent or higher than Brown after he applies as a transfer student after one year.</p>
<p>D) The situation isn’t that bad at all. He only has to spend 1 year at a transfer college; that is, only 25% of his undergraduate collegiate experience at another place.</p>
<p>Thanks for ur replys, he just let me know that his problem has been positively solved. Thanks.</p>
<p>
Two immediates reactions. First, I would guess it is the high school’s poilcy to notify colleges of any academic integrity violations by their students. Second, I would also guess the Brown acceptence agreement said Brown needed to be informed about any situations like this academic integrity violation (in other words the student probably had an ethical obligation to proactively tell Brown on their own).</p>
<p>So it has been resolved eh? I’m glad for your friend.</p>
