I’m currently writing some SOP for summer research programs and have a few questions.

Note: the majority of these have a 500 word max. It’s a bit difficult to fit in everything.

After writing one, I feel I spent too much time talking about my past research experiences and relevant course(s). I’d say 75% of my essay is regarding these experiences, but at the end of each paragraph I noted these experiences and knowledge is related to the program I’m applying for.

Do you think the 75% ish is too much? I do feel that I emphasized my interest in the program.
