Re-reading after the comments - and you say someone reacted negatively.

What do you have to do with MDMA or neuroactive compounds.

The essay is about you - not about the compounds.

So you are interested in researching brain disorders.

That’s great but you don’t need to define brain disorders or cures for them.

You do need to define how your interest here relates to you being an asset for the school and vice versa.

Or how it’s helped you grow as a person, researcher, etc.

You needn’t give findings - it’s not about solving these issues.

It’s about how your interest has developed you as a person and made you a good fit for their school.
