So here's the deal. I've got extensive research experience - 2.5 years in a lab, contributed to a paper (the topic of my thesis), summer paid research at a prestigious university, and am currently working in the Forensic Chem lab for the FBI/DEA. My PS, however, addresses my passion for primary healthcare and public policy. It says nothing about research b/c I wanted it to have a common theme and reflect my primary interests. The research, however, is written about in detail in work/activities. I will also be getting LORs from the dean of the chem dept., my PI, and my Forensic lab supervisor. Is this okay in showing my research involvement or should is it a mistake to not play it up in my PS? Will it hurt my chances for top 20 research schools? Thanks, ya'll.
