Hi, Hjort..

This is a question that I've been worrying over for months, if not more...but I'd like to know if having a dishonest undergraduate record is an automatic ding for top b-schools?
In my last year of college (3 yrs ago) I was found guilty of plagiarism, though very much unintentiona. And while it's not noted on the transcript, the top schools' (HSW) do ask in their application form whether I'd been suspended/expelled/disciplined, so i must be honest.
I feel pretty hopeless. Everything else (Gmat, Gpa, work experience, recommendations) I'm very confident about, but it is still this one mistake haunting me and I know how horrible plagiarism sounds. Adcom probably won't even finish looking at my app when they see this.
I am aiming for the top top (H, S, W, Kellogg) and would like feedback on whether I even stand a chance, and if so, how I should go about it. Thanks in advance.
