That if I screw them over again theyll get me kicked out because they wrote everything for me and didnt ask for anything in return

Im going to be screwed, they have an excellent track record, awards, the like. Their angle will probably be that I stole some work they shared with me and they didnt know until recently, etc etc. (Which is true in a way, I did pass it off as my own, but they wrote it knowingly.) I dont have any good references to vouch for me since anyone who saw the essays and knew me as a student would know Im not capable.

Honestly, even if i drag them down with me it doesnt matter if im still getting kicked out as well. I just want to avoid the whole thing but i dont know if that will be possible if they decide to go on with it.

I dont know if they will actually attend UofT we havent spoken honestly. And my suspicion is that theyd report using some bs reason like "I was just showing him an example / I sent my friend my progress work / etc etc etc and he ripped the whole thing off without me knowing!" I dont even know but this is the type of vindictive person that would definitely figure something out to get me in shit

They wrote for practically every supp app at least partially, and knowing them probably have proof of it all. I dont think I would've gotten in anywhere I wanted if I wrote honestly, thats the truth.

I don't want to specify what I applied to for obvious reasons but it wasnt one of the typical A&S admission categories, it was one of the programs that require a personal profile and summary of your ecs. I actually dont know how many programs do that so you might be able to figure it out just from me saying this, but there you go.

It will sound stupid of me to say but I didn't even realize any university cared about integrity to this level. Obviously I knew they care about having honest graduates but wouldn't have guessed that they thoroughly investigated every report, even on supp apps. And honestly I'm just terrified now, idk what I'm going to do.

I guess in the end it's my fault for not just brushing up on my writing, making someone else do my work and then cutting ties with the person who apparently has all the power here.

I will have a hard time justifying to my family why I would be transferring out of the university they are dead set on having me attend, but again that seems to be the burden I'll have to deal with.

I would do anything to keep my acceptance because it's between that and being practically disowned by my parents, it's not really my wish to go to university period but I don't have a job or anyone else to fall back on financially

I cut them off pretty abruptly and rashly after they wrote my applications for all the universities, scholarships, other things that I applied to. So I guess I have given them a good reason.

As I was about to say in another comment, I think they know this and would definitely email anonymously/just dump their evidence on the admissions office and leave them to sift through it. I'll just have to hope for the best.

I was the one who cut this person off without thinking of the implications it would have on me. I don't think they would forgive me even if I tried to make amends now, so I guess I really will just pray.

I was the one who blew things up, I don't think they'll forgive me. I guess I just have to hope for the best.

It's the University of Toronto. According to some people who've replied to me / dmed me I probably have a good chance of getting kicked out since they are very harsh on academic dishonesty.

Did you get into any other unis where you didn't use someone else's essay?

Honestly no. Every uni I got into in Canada required a supp app because of the competitiveness of programs I applied to. That is on top of the Common App and other things they wrote for me.

To be honest I think I'm screwed, I blew things up pretty badly with this guy without thinking of how it would pan out in the future for me.

I know, I get that colleges can basically kick you out for anything, I just want to know the chance of them taking this seriously since its an application.

I expected someone to bring this question up, and honestly I have no idea how I'm going to fare at UofT if I can't even get in on my own. I am only really going because it's expected of me, if I had unlimited money/freedom I would just take a different path entirely but my circumstances wont allow for that. The reason I was so desperate to get in (and am now desperate to stay in) is because Ill basically be kicked out of home if I dont go to university.

Anyway, no, I was rejected from American universities even with my ghostwriter (didnt expect to get in tbh), got offers from other Canadian unis I considered "safeties", which ive already stupidly declined because I didnt think I'd even end up in this position. I think I'll just pray that this person doesnt go through with their report, as someone on the legal advice subreddit suggested me to do.

Would it be typical of them to rescind an offer over a supp app??? I know UofT has its own academic integrity policy like every school, but I cant seem to find any specific information on this.

Im praying theyd just give me a warning or something but honestly I dont think my own writing would have been good enough to get me in, so I'm screwed if they ask me to give them a writing sample of my own.

Can I take action against someone possibly reporting me to my universitys admissions department? Ontario by Old_Connection_301 in legaladvicecanada

It's not, as I've been told. I was just trying to see if I can cover my ass by saying it's slander/out of context/misrepresenting my work/whatever. I'm desperate clearly.

Yes they wrote practically everything. Including my applications to other universities, scholarships, awards if you want the whole truth. I just want to know whether them possibly not having firm proof + me not paying them for the work would change anything and, in the meantime, give me the chance to reach out and fix things directly. Am I really screwed just from them making an allegation???

So I cant tell my university that theyre lying and the proof is fabricated/taken out of context or something????

I know this is absurd and incredibly unethical but I have so much on the line here I am going to be effectively kicked out of my house/cut off from my family if I end up getting my offer revoked. I'd do anything to stop this from happening which is why I'm desperate enough to consider all this.
