Hi guys,
So I'm currently applying to PT school and in PTCAS, they ask this question
Were you ever the recipient of any action by any college or university for unacceptable academic performance or conduct violations?
In my first year of undergrad I was involved in a minor offense involving me clicking for one of my friend's in class. My consequence was to get 5% off my total grade in that class. I was put onto honors probation until I graduated but I was also told my probation was not put on my transcript. My misconduct was a foolish mistake and I hate that I did it. I'm not a liar or a cheater and just made a stupid decision several years ago.
I'm now in a major internal debate that is crippling me from submitting my application. Some people are telling me to mark no because it's not on my transcript/no one will ever know/it was a minor offense, but others are saying that I should just be honest. I feel like the situation is like a double-edged sword. I was wondering if anyone was in a similar position when they were applying and they were able to still get into a program?
Thanks!
