Dear Consultant,

Thanks for your reply. Actually the misconduct is not recorded on my transript, instead it was recorded on my student conduct record which can be known only if the graducte school I applying for asks my undergraduate university for my student conduct record.
I know what you are saying is that I should never actively hide such incidence if the grad school asks me in the application process; and I also do not have to disclose the incidence if they do not ask.
However, the important things is that,during my process of filling the application form, many of the application ask the similar questions, which I have listed bellow:

1.Have you ever been suspended, expelled, or placed on probation at any school for academic or disciplinary reasons?

2.Have you ever been suspended or dismissed for any disciplinary or academic reason from any college, university, or other post-secondary institution, or is any disciplinary charge from any such institution currently pending against you?

3.Have you ever been subject to academic discipline, placed on probation, suspended, or required to withdraw from any college or university?

These are the most confusing questions asked in the application form. Could you please give me some suggestions or instructions to answer those questions?
Thank you very much!

Sincerely,
Siren Chen

Thanks for your post. It sounds like you have worked hard, it’s unfortunate that you are having to face this issue now in your graduate applications. I never advise people to hide information in their application but I also do not think you need to disclose something that is not asked for in the application. If it is on your transcript then you may need to write an adendum to your application explaining the situation. I think if you take responsibility and show the admissions committee that you learned from the experience – it may not be as detrimental as you think. It might also be helpful to have a reference speak specifically about your ability and conduct as a student. Good luck with this challenge and with your applications.
Regards,
Heather

Dear Consultant,

Hello! I am a senior international student who is studying accounting and is going to graduate after winter term. Right now I am applying master of accountancy.
I scored GMAT690 and have a GPA3.4 in a top100 US university. I do not have any full time work experience, but I do have three interns in big firms in Asia.
I have being a advertise specialist in a campus magazine and I was a pledge member of Beta Alpha Pys for half a year. Also I was the volunteer of some campus wide events.

Unfortunately, I copied ONE number (answer) in the first midterm in my first intermediate accounting class; I was accused by my professor of the class for the academic misconduct and I admitted my behavior. The professor told me that the incidence will not be in my academic record (which is permanent and is different from the student conduct record) and gave me the grade penalty for the whole question but I got a C for that class; and conduct office sent me a letter noticed me that the incidence of academic misconduct will be in my student conduct record for five years. Also it will be released only by my express waiver, OR to the faculty/stuff of other University on a strict need-to-know basis.
I know cheating is a really bad behavior and I do shame of it, and I said to myself that I will never do it again; but right now I am just so worried about that is this incidence entirely cut all my chance of getting into the graduate school? Also what I should to do when I am applying the graduate school? Do I must actively disclose all the detail of my incidence? And what if the school did not ask me the incidence and I did not tell them, but they discover it later?

Thank you so much.
