Then why would it be deceiving??
then you're fine. have a beer. it's gameday.
I think it is fine also, as it was submitted at the time of your application. No one will be checking, and if they ask about it on an interview, you could say that it was rejected so we are now submitted somewhere else. papers get rejected all the time, not even because it is a bad paper (obviously unsure of the reasons in your particular case) but because perhaps you submitted to a journal that's too good for the paper (I've heard a reviewer say basically as much about a paper they were rejecting, so it definitely happens)
Seppuku
because its no longer submitted but rejected but schools still think its submitted?
i guess this probably also shows how little schools care about submitted papers lol
omg best football day I've every witnessed
lol
But you are resubmitting it. And at the time you submitted ERAS, the paper was submitted. You can't predict the future.
I'm sure PDs are very well aware of the journal submission process, and that the label "submitted" could very well end in rejection.
Which is why PDs give much less credence to "submitted" manuscripts...
On a more positive note: a submitted manuscript indicates that a project was completed, data analyzed and manuscript was written which is levels above just listing a research experience or even having a poster presentation. Programs are able to analyze everything for what it's worth. Don't feel weird talking about this during an interview. Focus on the positives that you got from the experience of doing research and seeing the work to the point of preparing a manuscript. Be ready to talk about your plan for resubmission.
As other posters have mentioned, manuscripts get rejected for a variety of reasons. Often it depends on the reviewers. I had a paper rejected from an ok journal, only to be accepted to a better journal a few months later (with minimal changes).
LOL! Actually had to Google that. 😆
Do you know what the word submitted actually means? It has nothing to do with whether the manuscript eventually is accepted or rejected. It just means...wait for it...submitted.
Plus you know...you can (and should) just resubmit it to another journal.
If everyone gave up on their projects after one rejection, our CVs would all be a lot shorter.
Yeah, I don't know why OP thinks that he'd be labeled as lying. At the time he submitted his ERAS app he had submitted his manuscript. It was the truth. You get it back with recommendations of what you should change to get it accepted or if it's a final answer rejection, you move on to another journal and you submit there.
