No feedback on SOP from boss who offered to review it...

[greeneyes1]

I have worked at a research center for almost two years.

 

It's expected that RA's will end up going to grad school. So there is no negativity about the situation, and unlike several RA's that left this year for school, I have stayed for the "promised" two years. 

 

One of my bosses said that she "was more than happy!" to write me a letter of recommendation, and request that I send her my CV and SOP. She said she would review my SOP as well.

 

She send in my recommendation which I know from the application website, but never said anything in person or by email about my SOP. I received no feedback or suggestions.

 

I have worked hard for this investigator, taking over additional duties on the studies that I work on with her in the past when our project director abruptly left, and helping out on her other study which I'm not even officially on when an RA also left suddenly.

 

She's not the type of person to forget to do things, and I'm trying not to take it personally, but feel hurt. Why offer to do something, and then not do it, especially when I have consistently worked so hard to help her over the past two years?

 

Not sure what to think...

Just send the professor another e-mail. She could be busy with exams or e-mail inbox is swamped and your SOP is overlooked.

I've worked with forgetful profs. I've had to chase one for six months to get that person to submit an LOR. Count yourself lucky prof sent in LOR and give the prof the benefit of a doubt.
