Cheating in job documents : telling something untrue in personal statement for school application

Fatawa Question

Dear Dr. Monzer, Assalamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh, As Salaam Wa Alaikum I have a question. I applied to study competitive medical course, the application procedure involves writing a personal statement and an entrance exam. I passed the entrance exam however, when I applied during a moment of weak Eman I wrote in the personal statement something that was regretfully not fully true (wrote in a way which suggests I took part in a sport when I did not). Then I received an interview, which is coming up. Should I attend the interview or withdraw my application. Since I do not wish to in the future earn Haram money, incurring Allah’s punishment (as mentioned in Surah Al Imran verse 189). JazakAllah Khair Jazakum Allahu Khairan for your constant help Yours, Ahamd
