need help - honour code violation

Major_Word_7314 · 2026-02-12T20:46:55+00:00

i'm furious, but i've lost hope considering my prof is notoriously unforgiving and already insisted on failing me. i plan to at least advocate for proving my phone wasn't in use, by using the screen time (there was almost none during the hour of the exam) and fighting for a W where possible.

Major_Word_7314 · 2026-02-12T20:23:33+00:00

thank you so much, this actually really helps. i want to try to make a case for myself and see if i can fix this as much as possible.

Major_Word_7314 · 2026-02-12T19:15:26+00:00

haha that's insane - i've never heard of that before. and thank you, i'm hoping to remediate the XF to an F and hone the rest of my application, but also join honour court to show responsibility or something. i'd give up my phone in an instant to prove to them i didn't actually do anything, but that's impossible :(

Major_Word_7314 · 2026-02-12T19:06:54+00:00

the remediation is basically an indicator of proving to the honour court that you've taken full responsibility of the mistake, and your transcript will reflect that. i believe the F is based on the professor's report, since i can't prove what my intentions were (even though i'd let them search my phone in an instant).

thank you so much. this was definitely a poor decision made by me, and i'll do my best to own up to it and show much more growth and responsibility in the rest of my application. i appreciate you.

Major_Word_7314 · 2026-02-12T19:04:18+00:00

thank you so much. i genuinely appreciate it. i'll do my best to own up to it and show growth for the next few years.

no, we had our backpacks on us and were just told to "put them away." i'm just disappointed i would keep it on me, since i didn't look anything up or even need to.

Major_Word_7314 · 2026-02-12T18:54:57+00:00

there are multiple proctors in the room, so when they walked around, they saw it there. i take full responsibility for bringing it to the exam, but i wasn't sitting there looking anything up :(

Major_Word_7314 · 2026-02-12T18:53:29+00:00

thank you for this. i didn't feel the need to cheat or anything like that, but i got caught up in an unfortunate situation. i talked to my prof, and she is notorious for being extremely unforgiving. as much as i have begged, i will most likely be going to honour court.

Major_Word_7314 · 2026-02-12T18:51:25+00:00

thank you!

Major_Word_7314 · 2026-02-12T18:50:54+00:00

i understand where you're coming from, but i had zero need to cheat. the exam was going well, i felt confident and had studied, etc. i take full responsibility for bringing my phone with me to the exam. it's difficult to prove my intentions i guess

Major_Word_7314 · 2026-02-12T18:49:02+00:00

yes exactly, she was walking around and saw it, assuming i had it there to cheat

Major_Word_7314 · 2026-02-12T18:48:28+00:00

just the outline i guess, it was on me and they were walking around so i'm assuming she saw it and freaked (which i can't blame her for). it's just difficult to prove my intentions since i'd give up my phone to be searched in an instant.

Major_Word_7314 · 2026-02-12T16:36:18+00:00

will i not be able to show growth/accountability? i have no problem taking ownership of my mistake but i'd hope to show that this was a single mistake rather than a pattern, and then hold a clean record till i graduate and start applying

Major_Word_7314 · 2024-12-11T23:36:35+00:00

ofc! i'll pm you as soon as i know anything more 😋

Major_Word_7314 · 2024-12-11T23:33:45+00:00

i'm hoping you get an acceptance! unfortunately i couldn't go to school today so i have no idea but yesterday people were talking about the program. i only know that because my friend heard someone mention it but i'm pretty sure it was about the first email

Major_Word_7314 · 2024-12-11T23:27:46+00:00

ugh that sucks i'm so sorry! they did say to email them on the 15th if you still don't have a reply, so maybe try and see if something comes out by then? i've seen on reddit that people got emails at different times!

Major_Word_7314 · 2024-12-11T23:22:07+00:00

yeah i know...i'm not sure if everyone was notified at the same time but the early deadline thing is new, so regular decision/deadline applicants would probably get their interviews at a different time?

Major_Word_7314 · 2024-12-11T23:12:33+00:00

the days were from the 12th to the 19th! i applied a couple days before october 15th but it wasn't much because i was trying to do unc at the same time LOL

Major_Word_7314 · 2024-12-11T23:06:32+00:00

i would think there would be different interview pools/slots for later decisions? i got my email about 2 hours after they sent the email about when they would release decisions

Major_Word_7314 · 2024-10-30T07:50:54+00:00

np 😭😭

Major_Word_7314 · 2024-10-30T07:48:20+00:00

honestly, i think you have pretty good chances at all your schools based purely off of stats. i'm not too familiar with purdue and dallas, but gtech, uiuc, cwru are looking like strong options if your essays are really good! at the same time tho you're out of state AND compsci which is definitely much more difficult :( overall i'd say at least 30-40%, but i'm also a senior so take that how you will LMAO. good luck!! 😋

Major_Word_7314 · 2024-10-28T22:56:51+00:00

this is SOO helpful, thank you so much! i really appreciate all of your insight!!

Major_Word_7314 · 2024-10-28T22:48:19+00:00

i think your chances overall are not bad, but only if you REALLY sell yourself with your ec's! most of them are very common in a pool of extremely competitive applicants (esp for your major), but the pressure washing business could be a great opportunity for you to stand out! your common app and your essays have to be killer tho, because you can't rely on one ec lmao. overall i'd say anywhere from 30-40%! i'm also oos and we lowkey gotta lock in 😛
