<p>I am a junior Now. the first offense was freshman year. the second offense was this year. the first offense was a true accident, my art teacher thought even though i gave the art back and admitted i took it by accident, he thought I was trying to sell the art for money. The Problem is that my school doesn’t give class rank. they don’t even disclose the average GPA. it is a school that sends many kids to ivy’s and out of 100 kids in our graduating class, 23 were Nation merit semifinalists. If I could explain the incidents well in an essay, would that help my chances?</p>
