Based on details in post, OP graduated this past spring (spring 2019 was junior year). Given the fact that OP should have around 120 credits, the GPA wouldn't change much with or without the F.Just a minor FYI( because this is a major mess) but the new A you received in Physics, does not replace the F you got with the IA. They are averaged. So it’s doubtful your GPA is back to a 3.9xx.
Are you returning to your former school or are you staying at the second school?
Yup! It looks like OP used a connection he made as a leader in student government to get the new school to accept him!I thought OP was kicked out at the start of Junior Year. Wow, tough to be someplace new as a senior. I wonder about LORs. Those may be tough to get .
No, I'm suggesting that he was pretty careful in investigating the evidence that the online company had before he confessed, and investigating what the transcript would and wouldn't show, and now, through our forum, how adcoms would view his IA disclosure. What do you think he might do with this information?It would be interesting to know what the official transcript says about his transfer with 160 hours at the end of Junior year . We know he got a “clean” transcript for his transfer through his relationship with the Dean or whoever it was. So I guess the new school has no idea of the situation. The questions would have to come from a reviewer at each school of his official transcript if it really doesn’t have any indication that he was dismissed from school. But are you really suggesting he not indicate he has this IA ? We all know that at some point schools do due diligence and it would be awful to have his acceptance rescinded or be kicked out later on in school or after graduation! There is no easy way out of this mess. OP needs to take his time, review his options and proceed very carefully
Do you really want to go into medicine?

Again, I would find it beyond unbelievable if an academic institution would in fact dismiss a student for academic dishonesty and not disclose that fact to another academic institution requesting the transcript. It's important to note School #1 did not fail to disclose to School #2 -- OP received an exception whereby he was able to be accepted without transcripts. I am explicitly asking what I have a strong feeling he is wondering -- other than the risk he will be found out later, that he would weigh against the possibility of being accepted now with the disclosure, could he actually get away with failing to disclose now? (I.e., would the transcript he already previewed really be the extent of the school's disclosure -- the F with no other information. And, would the schools look into that circumstance with no other disclosure from the applicant?)
I already stated this earlier. You can also try the new Australian school.The Caribbean is your most realistic option of practicing medicine in the USA. I would not recommend pursuing a US allopathic education as I expect it would waste your time and money.
May be OP suddenly had a revelation and decided to come clean. Let's get back the OP's intention to come clean on SDN, what are his chances of US MD/DO admission. Consensus is extremely low. I see Caribbean from CaliforniaWith all due respect, while I have been following you all along, and you have provided way more detail than a typical person in your situation does, what you have just said just doesn't ring true.
Are you really saying that after being told that the company had NOTHING directly tying you to the scheme, you confessed anyway because it was the right this to do, AND had a determination by the committee that the call and your subsequent confession were part of a "complex cover-up strategy," even though the results of the call were that you had no need to cover up? Sorry, but that just doesn't ring true!!!
only some of the responses?but I suspect that some of the responses to these sorts of situations on SDN may lean in the direction of hyperbole.
Oh you were told not to get assistance. Oh okay sorry I scanned it quickly. I never had those in college so I kinda panicked, thinking that I may have cheated.
After taking a gap year or two, I think you would get at least a couple of interviews if you applied broadly to DO schools (if your essays are polished, your LoRs are strong, your IA reflection is well-composed and thoughtful, etc.).
There’s a common perception that students with IA’s are virtually never accepted into US medical schools.
OP must have deleted that post (can't find it). Since he/she said that, I take back what I said about applying just to see if any schools bite. Their post doesn't sound like they have matured or learned from the erroneous decisions that made 2 years ago.It's shocking that you think that is relevant!
You think it makes any difference at all that you adjusted for the randomized numbers by using the roadmap provided by the scheme to insert the correct numbers in your responses? That because you recognized that everyone didn't have the same numbers, so you had the presence of mind to realize that you couldn't copy answers verbatim and had to use the provided "basic steps, concepts, and equations" to calculate your own numbers, that "maybe" makes what you did a little less serious????
The fact that you aren't too embarrassed to post that is pretty remarkable. In fact, it's making me wonder if this whole thread isn't an elaborate troll! If so, I'm a little embarrassed that it took me so long to catch on, and that the Dean of Students facilitating your move to another school, on the down low with no transcript, or that the school wouldn't highlight this in big bold red characters on your transcript, didn't set off any alarms for anyone. Or, people not questioning why a 3.9 GPA campus leader would risk everything for Physics 2.
Kudos to you, my friend!!!! Well played. And thank you for not stopping until I got a clue!!!
Yup. Although I'm telling you, the post was so over the top that I can't help but think the whole thing is so outrageous that it can't be true.OP must have deleted that post (can't find it).

Nah, bc while graded problem sets are a big deal and are basically take home tests, a real egregious would be having an in person exam meddled eith. I once heard on reddit of somebody getting a prof's login so he could steal answers to exams. THAT was egregious. This one is JUST believable.Yup. Although I'm telling you, the post was so over the top that I can't help but think the whole thing is so outrageous that it can't be true.
Would a legit school really not report this on a transcript? Under these circumstances, would a legit dean of students really help a student transfer to a school where she was formerly associated without a transcript (and, logically, disclosure)? Would a legit school accept him immediately after the IA with disclosure?
Doesn't the whole thing about not having graduated despite having 160 credits seem a little unbelievable? And needing to go to another school to pick up another 40 credits to be able to graduate? Most people I know graduate with between 120-140. Have you ever heard of anyone NEEDING 40 on top of 160, after an IA????
Would a legit poster, who spent so much time providing so much detail, coming here to ask if an application next year would be viable, really think that it might make a difference that answers weren't copied verbatim because they couldn't be, since numbers were randomly changed?
TBH, I feel like a frog in boiling water, and it didn't hit me until the deleted post. But, going back, does any of it really make sense????? I'm convinced he just laid highly detailed superfluous facts, one on top of another and each more ridiculous than the next, waiting for someone to call BS, after which he withdrew.
This is a conspiracy to divert you from MCAT prepYup. Although I'm telling you, the post was so over the top that I can't help but think the whole thing is so outrageous that it can't be true.
