If it really passed copyspace then I wouldn't worry too much. He might want to just discuss what you could do better and let you rewrite it.

I wouldn't mention that you checked it. You wrote the paper and should know without having to check it. That sent a huge red flag up for me as someone that has taught undergraduates.

If you cheated, bring a suitcase of cash.

Could also be the case that OP completely misunderstood what was supposed to be written about, and the prof may be giving the OP a chance to redo it.

I wasn't gonna tell him I had checked, but a paper in high school was flagged as plagiarism one time accidentally so I did it for this one.

I got caught copying a paper in high school. Got a zero on the paper and dropped my grade from an A to a C. It was dumb.

Of course he would know, but maybe he was trying to see if that was why the prof had an issue?

This seems the most likely.

This too. I have called students in to give them a shot to redo the paper when they clearly didn't understand the project.

Keep positive and just see what they want.
