plagiarism

Hey all, I'm relatively new to posting on SDN, and I hope this post isn't too horrendously long to read. Posted this on Reddit, but I received advice from a few people who had IA's on Reddit to post on here as well to receive feedback. Okay, so I've been on premed Reddit the past few days just...

Hey guys, so I learned about IA from a post from a reddit about a student who had a meltdown because of his/her multiple IAs. While reading through the post, I realized that I may have an IA. Some backgrounds about myself. I am going to apply in 2024 cycle. I graduated in 2021. I am taking...

One of my classmates from undergrad has an IA for an academic integrity violation (unauthorized collaboration/plagiarism on a lab report). Since some schools expunge/destroy disciplinary records after a number of years, what's stopping an applicant from manipulating the details of their IA once...

Hey y'all. I'm applying to MD and DO schools this coming cycle. I'm conflicted as to whether to mention my "institutional action" on the applications. My sophomore year of college I got in trouble for alleged plagiarism of a lab report. Supposedly I didn't cite the primary literature article I...

I am currently a Senior in College who has a competitive GPA and MCAT score, with good recommendations by professors. I was just accused of academic dishonesty by one of my blowoff classes. I was careless and did not do enough paraphrasing on a relatively small assignment and was called into her...

Hi, I'm a biology pre-med student who really wants to be a doctor. Because of my aspirations I have always wanted my college grades to be high and unfortunately I took it too far. In my general chemistry lab we had to write weekly lab reports and your grade in the class depends on the TA you...

I am a first year Clinical Psychology student. During my master's program I wrote an abstract that was accepted at a conference. Unfortunately, I ended up not being able to go to the conference and present the poster. I withdrew my submission and neither I nor my poster attended. I am...

Please answer the poll question above and leave comments if you have them. I am curious if the SDN/premed community is kosher with prep companies making "very close copies" of AAMC material and then reselling it to students as their own original work. How close is too close? Some prep companies...

Hi! I am fairly new to sdn, and would like some advice on my issue here. I've looked at a lot institutional action threads but couldn't find one exactly like mine. I wanted to talk about how and if I should disclose my "institutional action" and how badly you think this would affect my chances...
