So i am a junior and I am planning to apply next summer. Last week I asked my lab PI to write me a LOR. I have been working in his lab for one year and he knows me personally. However, he told me he was really busy and asked me to write a draft for him. He told me he would look over it and and some staff. But I have no idea how to write a letter for myself. I know it is common.
It is just so weird to compliment myself in a letter. And I don't know what to write about. In fact I don't have my own project to do so how can I talk about my critical thinking??? I mainly help my mentor with her project and most of the time I do experiments like western blot, DNA, RNA extraction, PCR etc. She added my name on her publication recently.
Anyone has any ideas about how to write a research LOR? Or does anyone have an example of a research LOR? And response would be appreciated!!!!
