Transfer to another university (or not?) due to Academic Dishonesty

No, I’m actually planning to apply to another international school. I also have a school in the U.S., however, for backup. I got into Purdue last year and I requested a gap year which was accepted. I don’t think they will ask for any transcripts since I cited another reason for my gap year. But I most likely would not chose that option, and would like to seek another university from the area.
