Error in SOP
in Statement of Purpose, Personal History, Diversity
Posted
I recently submitted all of my graduate school essays, where I talked about an experiment I was running in my current workplace that seemed like it had made massive improvements in our R&D process. However, after I submitted these essays, we discovered an error in the experiment which basically resulted in the improvements being considered null. The experiment is currently being reworked. Since I had written (in a single sentence) about these improvements in my essay, I replaced whatever essays I could with an updated version stating that I am currently working on the experiment (I didn't go into specifics of the experiment being wrong, etc. I just changed the tense) and uploaded an updated SOP with this change wherever replacements were not accepted. I just didn't want to make it seem like I lied, in case my boss's LOR reads differently. Will this reflect poorly on me when my application is being reviewed?
