kimmy Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Is there anyone who has been accepted to a PA school with an academic infraction on their record? If so, could you PM me. I need some advice. I am debating if I should even apply this cycle and I am doubting even going to PA school. I made a stupid mistake my soph year and now feel like it will haunt me forever. Please Help!

UGoLong Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 This has been addressed before on this forum. Broadly stated, it involves taking responsibility for what you have done (without taking up your whole personal statement explaining that) and indicating what you have done to make up for it. Life is not like a new car; you get dents and dings as you go without depreciating your value. The issue isn't the mistakes you make but how they helped to change you into a better person. Will you suffer for your mistake? Maybe. But don't lose hope. Somewhere out there are older people in authority who also got some dings along the way. Good luck.

kimmy Posted April 30, 2019 Author Share Posted April 30, 2019 Thank you. I seen it addressed before but I was wondering if anyone ever got in with an infraction on their record. I know I must be truthful but if they won’t even look at me, what’s the point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimmy Posted April 30, 2019 Author Share Posted April 30, 2019 I used data from another person in my lab fir my lab analysis. It was like 2%of the grade. It was dumb. I couldnt find my results and apparantly they were having a huge issue with that and made examples out of like 100 students. I has already dropped the class because I knew I couldnt do it with orgo and physics. I just hope it doesnt haunt me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t be painting as “they made examples out of us” though.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhioPAhopeful Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Kimmy, Did you get into PA school ? I am now a PA with a friend who is applying with a similar occurrence in college. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
