Hello,
So I’m in a bit of a bind. I was in orgo 2 and I had an A+ in the class. One of my closer friends was in the same class as me and a couple days before the final she had a death in her family ( a grandparent) and it threw her off completely. During our final she had a mental breakdown and a full on panic attack ans she asked me for help on the last two questions of the exam. Now, I know I made perhaps one of the worst mistakes of my life and I sent her my answer after I had submitted my exam. She decided to then copy it directly and our tests got flagged by our prof. I was given a D in the course and I have a meeting with the professor next week. I am NOT a cheater. I have worked my butt off to do well in my classes. Has this ruined my chances of med school or PA school? I know cheating is a big red flag, and I’m also not making excuses for my actions, but these were some extenuating circumstances. I don’t know if an IA will be on my record after this but if so, how bad does this look for my admission chances? I’m also a sophomore and am planning on applying next application cycle?
