Hi everyone
Trying to polish my statement of research interest, but I feel like it sounds too much like a story (i.e. this research really motivated me to pursue X, so I sought work in lab studying X, yadda yadda yadda). Is it supposed to be more of a 'fact-based' piece? (i.e. while working at this lab, my tasks were X, Y, Z; the research I worked on was investigating ________, etc.)
The application I'm currently working on doesn't provide any guidance other than to say that it should not exceed 1200 words . Any advice?
