Gut reaction – research is something that is more structured and academically focused.

Yours is more of a ‘search’ (and I don’t mean to trivialize the importance of this search in any way) – though you say you’re done with your applications, this would, IMO make a fantastic essay.

I may be wrong, though, so see what others think, or call NU’s admissions office and ask them what they mean by the question.
