Hey all, I'm applying to masters programs (oxbridge specifically). I'm wondering about the advisability of basing my research proposal on a paper I wrote in undergrad. My proposed research would look at a certain inquiry that my paper discussed with less focus and in tandem with other inquiries. Would application readers look at this research proposal any differently than one not based on the applicant's prior research? My fear is that they would want more original research, albeit this undergrad paper is only 20ish pages so it's not like I've exhausted it. I'm assuming that I should (1) include this undergrad paper as the writing sample (2) discuss in the research proposal how I would build on this prior research.
