<p>You “accidently” took someone else’s art work in your freshman art class! Did you happen to “accidently” get a grade for it? You portray this as a misunderstanding, but apparently others thought it serious enough to bring up to an Ethics/Honors/Disciplinary Committee, who felt it was a big enough issue to place a note in your file. Then you plagiarized, which is the non-accidental way taking of someone else’s work. </p>
<p>The problem is that those two acts bring into question all of your grades. Will an adcom wonder if you cut corners in your other classes but just didn’t get caught?</p>
<p>Duke? UCLA? Unless you’re averaging 20 points a game I’ll say no chance, (why would they take the risk?). As for Texas, I wouldn’t be so sure that being in the top 10% protects you from Honor Code violations.</p>
<p>Talk to your GC; they’re about the only ones who can give you a real assessment of the damage.</p>
