Hello, I know this has been brought up in similar threads with similar responses, but I feel as though no one's situation is close enough to mine for me to go off of.
I received an academic dishonesty report, "for collaborating with other student during a final exam." I received a 0 in the 4 credit class (gen ed requirement). It was an online class, and someone started a group chat during the final exam. I provided an answer to a fellow student. I knew what I did was wrong and immediately closed out of it and did my own exam. My professor got hold of the facebook group chat and wrote us all up for dishonesty. I met with her and the director apologizing for any disrespect towards them or the course. I took full responsibility. I knew what I did was wrong; I am not a cheater. I pride myself on my own work.
My science GPA is currently a 3.62. My cumulative sits at a disappointing 3.24 ever since receiving the report. I have yet to take the MCAT. I am CNA certified with near 1,000 hours of direct patient care. I am going with the Global Medical Brigades to Honduras this year over spring break. I have recommendation letters from professors and nurses I worked with in the field. I am meeting with the professor that gave me the report to see if she will write me one. She told me that if she could punish some more than others she would. She also said she thinks I have characteristics of a person who will succeed in the medical field.
Basically, I want to know how much this is going to kill my chances and how to approach it in the best possible manner. I am obviously taking full responsibility for it, and I have learned a lot from the situation. How do I get the best possible outcome of a really horrible circumstance?
Any advice whatsoever is welcomed.
