2 instances of academic dishonesty treated as a single violation. How cooked am I

Character + Fitness

Hi, throwaway bc I’m paranoid. My sophomore year of college I shared answers on 2 closed book online exams with a friend. At the end of the course we both received probation. It is not on my transcript but it is in my student conduct record. Of course I have written an addendum but I’m wondering how much this fucks up my odds. I otherwise have good stats (178 LSAT, 3.86 from a t5 school) and average softs (couple yrs W/E in STEM). I was hoping for the T14 particularly Penn.

I know academic dishonesty is one of the worst c&f issues you can have and it’s much worse if there’s a demonstrated pattern. However this was treated as a single incident by my school, so I’m wondering how it will be viewed. + it’s been over 4 yrs now. I was wondering if anyone had a similar situation and could provide some insight.
