<p>Asterick5,</p>
<p>Your dishonesty is troubling. When you signed your application, you affirmed that the work was your own. The colleges to which you are applying may or may not discover your plagiarism, but if they do, they will most certainly deny your application. And how would they find out? They might not. Or they might check to see if there is anyone in their database with a username or email address of “Asterick5” who also shares your birthdate of January 7, 1992.</p>
<p>Asterick5 – You may be in as a very unique kind of URM, if you remembered to check the “■■■■■” box in the Ethnicity section of your application (■■■■■■ are only overrepresented on the Internet). Otherwise, yeah, you’re doomed.</p>
<p>Why’d you tell us?</p>
<p>Isn’t it self-explanatory…</p>
<p>You’ll get caught sooner or later. Don’t copy.</p>
<p>It wont make a difference at all. Common App isn’t “turnitin”. They’re not going to check your essay against others.</p>
