apologies in advance if this is a super neurotic(TM) question, but I'm in a bit of a niche situation and was hoping for some insight. as this year's app let you put down activities you were doing that you hadn't started yet, i put down a lab i'd be conducting research with this summer (don't worry, not my only research experience!) and at the time of the primary, i was supposed to be involved in a specific project. i started the experience after submitting my primary, and a few days after getting there, i moved to another research project (within the same lab) because my PI and i realized it fit my long-term research goals better, but this project is different than the one i described in my primary w+a.
how should i go about addressing this situation? should i let schools know in the "anything else" section in the secondaries, or should i not bother + explain it when I'm asked in an interview? (the "caliber" of the projects is more or less the same; i'd be doing the same things regardless, so i hope it won't come across as deliberately putting down wrong information).
also, in general, would this look bad to adcoms?
@Goro @LizzyM @KnightDoc @gonnif @ anyone else who might be able to weigh in
thanks in advance for your insight!
