Actually, this also undermines the credibility of the institution that you attended. You can say "that's a small sample size," but it's indicative of larger problems at the institution that the honor code was not so internalized that bluffing the data would result in social ostracism.

You have fallen victim to the Typical Mind fallacy. Most undergraduate students are there for the paper that will make it easier to get a good job. Most people are not like you.

More than half of the graduate business students surveyed recently admitted to cheating at least once during the last academic year, according to a report released on Monday. The report, "Academic Dishonesty in Graduate Business Programs: Prevalence, Causes, and Proposed Action," is based on survey responses from 5,331 students at 32 graduate schools in the United States and Canada, and is scheduled for publication this month in Academy of Management Learning & Education. The survey found that 56 percent of graduate business students -- most of whom are pursuing M.B.A.'s -- had cheated, compared with 47 percent of graduate students in nonbusiness programs.

Please note almost half of nonbusiness GRAD programs cheated. It is going to be way, way higher in undergrad.
