Hi Emmm, Thanks for responding. Yeah, I think I can talk to an academic counselor at my registrar's office to get some advice .. aside from that I'm not sure who else I'd be able to consult. I thought about approaching the department heads of the psychology or statistics department because they might have a bette idea of how admissions work or graduate school. I'm not really sure. I've tried consulting the internet but I didn't find anything particularly helpful.

The summer before my last year of undergrad I committed academic dishonesty in one of my summer classes. I received a sanction of a course grade of 0 and a notation on my transcript until I graduate, which was in June of 2015. I decided to take a year off in light of my transgressions (I wasn't suspended but felt that if I could do something that heinous I needed to take a step back and reevaluate everything). I'm a psych&stats major and I want to eventually work in research or some related field as I've RA'd at my school and I'm currently RA'ing in a lab at my school and a hospital - it's something I'm interested in. My overall goal is to find work in research and at some point when I have some career direction apply to a Master's program. However, in light of my academic dishonesty I'm not sure how it will affect my application, or if it's something that's redeemable? Thanks for reading.
