Optometry Will academic dishonesty hinder chances of acceptance?

[Mr.Smile12]

Back in sophomore year I got an academic dishonesty for copying a couple questions on a lab report in Organic 1 lab. The only action taken against me was that I got a zero for that lab report and it just went on my record. Since then, I have learned my lesson and would never do such a thing ever again. I graduated last semester and am applying to schools now. Is that something I should be worrying about as I report it as a part of my applications?

It is generally good practice to fully disclose any situations ahead of time. It probably won't impact your application much if you do this since most of us hate getting surprised later.

At the med school level, this is generally NOT the type of thing that is lethal. Just explain and own if asked about.
