Hi there,
Thanks for taking the time to look at this question.
I was convicted of academic misconduct a few years ago and I’m applying to top graduate school this year. However, it was ruled that my misconduct was done out of ignorance, not bad intent; basically i did not see the course policies for a certain course (as they weren’t explicitly stated on the course syllabus) and I committed an academic violation on a homework problem by using resources that were not allowed.
How badly will this affect my admission chances?
Also, how often do schools ask students to sign a waiver allowing the Dean to release records of academic misconduct?
Thanks!
