I am applying to serveral undergraduate research programs this summer. Each of them ask for certain documents including:
- CV
- personal statement
- statement of interest
- cover form
- cover letter
- research statement
- statement of purpose
I understand what a CV is now, but is a cover form the same thing as a cover letter? Can these documents be generic? Is there a difference between statement of interest and statement of purpose? Is there somewhere I can find examples of these so I know what the difference is?
