How bad do you want to go to medical school? From what I've read on these forums, it will take several years after your undergrad to prove to schools that you have matured. Allow an adcom to clarify on this though.
 
Well, being caught not just once, but twice, your chances of getting admission into medical school (or virtually into any professional school) is virtually zero. In order to get admission, you will have to do a lot before medical schools will even consider you. (Perhaps many years out of college.)

What's worse, is that your GPA will be also called into question by adcoms. They will think that your grades are not really what they seem, and that you cheated your way through college.

You need to speak with either your prehealth advisor and perhaps make some connections with admissions from other schools.
 
No point in beating a dead horse - people in this business view dishonesty as a dangerous character flaw. You have a very long steep hill to climb and a lot of convincing to do.
 
My advice is to get a PhD in philosophy and spend 8-10 years teaching a college level course and publishing articles about the philosophy of academic dishonesty in the new yorker and then apply.
 
If you do well on the mcat I bet people will forgive you.
 
If you had cheated once your first term and demonstrated you learned from it you just might have a melting snowball's chance, but TWICE? You were also kicked out of your degree program, OUCH! and it has only been a year, I don't see one changing that much in a year. Have you actually did anything to redeem yourself?

Is there a hint of maybe you thinking of not telling anyone??????????? If you do that and it is ever discovered (highly likely) your life would become a nightmare, so as you state you would have to tell.

From what I know of pharm programs they are even more crazy over not tolerating cheating than MD/DO programs and those have like a zero tolerance policy. Even most doctoral programs in clinical psychology would find that intolerable at this point in your life.

Maybe if you had another successful career and in years you could seriously demonstrate how you made a life change and learned from your mistakes then perhaps, but your snowballs chance is more like a microscopic drop of water. Not sure if a PA or nursing program would let you in, but maybe that route?

You could always email some med schools you'd never apply to and ask their opinion (taking FULL responsibility) and see. There is a chance that might blow up in your face as people move around, but Goro's advice is likely the best at this point in your life.

I'm sure SGU would be happy to have you, assuming good MCAT/GPA which of course makes up for the fact that you're only ethical when it suits you.

Lol, how the **** did you get caught cheating twice?!?!?!?! You didn't learn after the first one and decided to just double down?

Definitely not true. They can just write a sizeable check. MCAT and GPA are irrelevant

OP if you want to get rid of that money you would waste on the upcoming cycle just send it my way. I'll use it as a down payment on tuition.
