So its not IA, if my "institution" never got involved?

Hi. In the past, if my professor caught me cheating, and pulled me into his office and told me that I have committed cheating and that he will give me a 0 for the test - but if the university never contacted me or followed up, does that mean I am free from declaring IA?

That depends. Have you figured out a way to cheat on the Step 1's?

No. Did you end up passing the course though? If you failed, and were ever asked about it, an honest person would say why. Otherwise, I'd keep deadly quiet about it.

I've gotta say, from your posts you seem like a really flaky and problematic candidate.

Took time off for no specific reason. Multiple MCATs. (Undocumented) cheater. You do know medicine is a LONG HAUL. Are you sure you're ready for it? Have you thought about PA school?

 

[LuciusVorenus]

Why don't you just ask the school if you have any IAs on record?

I have a 3.75 GPA and a 37 MCAT - and you want me to think about PA school>

Hey, anyone can get great grades and scores if they cheat their way through......

With a superiority attitude like that, yes.

And please don't whip out numbers like it were a penis-measuring match. It's unseemly.

I bet it was an honors chemistry course she withdrew from and retook with a different professor. Shame on you op

 

[centrigeugle]

Any of you guys in this thread have over 37 on the MCAT?

Lol, you should probably check the MD apps profiles of those who posted before you ask a question like that....

Again, penis-measuring competitions are unseemly.

Wow, keep talking. You're how old?
Let me clue you into something about what I and other interviewers look for in a med school applicant:

-Maturity (you clearly lack).
-Motivation (your 6 years in undergrad, 2 years of couch-surfing seem to say otherwise)
-Honesty and altruism (clearly failing in that dept.)
-Scientific aptitude (a good second MCAT score does not a stellar applicant make)
-A genuine passion for caring for others and medicine (I hope your essay says more than your "I sorta decided to do medicine one day" attitude suggests)

Good luck. You'll need it.

You talked like a little boy about penis-measuring contest TWICE, in a thread where I asked a simple IA question. Who is the one immature here?

If you read my post history, I have 5 posters presentations, and took the MCAT only twice - if you average the scores, its still a 33.5. I spent 6 years because I spent one year working at a company as part of my university's internship program.

Regarding my altruism and passion for medicine - I recently just made a thread asking if I'm indeed volunteering TOO much.

 

[dmf2682]

Talk. So easy a caveman (neanderthal?) could do it.

Now ignoring.

Can we start making SDN a democracy? As in, can we poll whether neandertalwoman gets the ban?

I vote yes.

most trolls post a thread with a simple question and usually that question incites some controversy and when posters respond with attitude to the OP the OP lashes out.

This thread fits that description!

WTF . I cheated on a stupid low level prereq, lab practical and my professor reported it. I also got a zero, but fortunately was able to take the rest of them and pass. You're lucky OP that this isn't on your records

It sounds like you should think twice before continuing to make awful threads. Pretty much every single one is a not-so-subtle brag post which sounds rather unlikely, especially considering your inability to spell words correctly.

WTF is up with that sentence?

This post is a mighty fine example of Burnett's Law. Cheating is pretty low, but if you learned from it and understand how seriously it is taken on the academic level then hopefully you've made and will continue to make better decisions. As long as it's not on your transcript or you didn't ask that professor for an LOR (LOL), then you should be fine.

Great MCAT score by the way! I don't understand why other posters had to bring penis into this; I can clearly see where their minds are at.

Wow. OP is an obvious troll, just look at his posting history (am i doing too much volunteering? is a 6th poster presentation necessary?) Come on, pay attention.

Also, that sentence is a reference to a quote from Aristotle, please educate yourself.

It is absolutely disgusting and disturbing how so many pre-meds are posting on studentdoc about academic dishonesty. Every other thread is about this crap wtf is up with these kids seriously. I think academic dishonesty is the lowest of lowest scum bag moves. End of rant thank you 👍

It's understandable (and regrettable) that there are people with academic dishonesty on their records. What I find disgusting is the number of people telling themselves that when AMCAS clearly asks if they've ever committed academic dishonesty, the posters then flock to SDN to seek someone to tell them that they don't really have to report it, or ask for ways that they could cover up the truth (aka lying).

People make mistakes. But mistakes have consequences, and adults learn to deal with those consequences.

It comes from a lack of reality: for example, the majority of Americans DO NOT cheat on their taxes, but when surveyed, people who have committed tax fraud believe that a vast majority DO.

The violent reaction we're seeing from these posters is their reaction to being confronted with the cold, hard, reality of life.

If I was a Dean of Admissions I think I would pick a felon over an academically dishonest person trying to cover his/her stuff up. At least the felon grows a pair and serves his time/ pays his debt back to society. OP please GTFO here no one wants your volunteering BS, volunteering is for people that have morals. The OP got caught cheating on an exam supposedly, who is to say this person didn't cheat all through out her academic career and just never got caught. Now the OP wants to go into a moral profession by earning higher education. LOL what a joke that's just as funny as making a murderer the Sheriff of the town and asking him to protect society.

I have a 3.75 GPA and a 37 MCAT - and you want me to think about PA school>

Your 37 on the MCAT does not mean anything so next time you try to show any of us that 3.75 and 37 on the MCAT I'll put you in place. Just because you couldn't get laid most of your life and decided to study so hard to overcome that sadness doesn't make you superior to PA school. Sad part about your life and your 3.7/ 37 is that with your academic dishonesty which I hope to God that your school lists on your official transcript a person with a 3.0 and a 27 would have a higher chance of getting accepted to medical school than you. Usually I'm never this pissed off but I can tell from your attitude that you do not resent cheating because you clearly do NOT want to take responsibility for your actions. You want to hide this cheating incident that's why you're posting threads on studentdoc. Any honest person knows the answer to your question. Grow a pair and list that you performed scum bag actions through your academic career. At least you'll have some dignity?

Are you seriously saying that about the guy who has UPenn MS/MD 2012 in his sig? I mean, as far as this figurative penis-measuring goes, I'd say he's Ron Jeremy.

 

[Whosis]

Blows my mind when people come on here trying to hide legitimate cheating when I put a paragraph on my application about the possibility that I could have been put on academic probation for my first semester GPA.

And by possibility I mean I saw it nowwhere on my transcript, but I sure remember getting the threatening letter.

I will repeat again - the purpose of me making this thread is not to hide my past, but to answer the AMCAS question as truthfully as possible:

The question - have I ever being the subject of IA?

Well - if the INSTITUTION never came after me, and its just between me and the professor, does it count as IA?

If you want me to put *YES* that the institution had gotten involved, then wouldn't it be lying?

Hmmmm, how to tell if you have an IA to report...😕.....very difficult..... Contact your school and ask if there are any such marks on your transcript/official record

actually...

I was under the impression that you are required to report it even if it does not show on your records... as in it has been expunged. Proceed with caution.

As others have said, an IA is formal. You would have received a letter from your institution and have met with the dean (likely).

Edit: thumbs down to the OP
