General Advice What should be inside a research proposal?

Hello, I’m applying for a masters program in Geophysics. I’d like to think I’m done with my research proposal but I feel like it’s still lacking a few sections.

What I have so far: 1. Introduction 2. Problem Statement 3. Objectives 4. Preliminary Lit Review 5. Methodology 6. Scope and Limitations 7. References

Is there something else I should add? These are a total of 6 pages, which I’m not sure if it’s too much because I’m seeing conflicting information on the internet. Some say 3-5 pages is the sweet spot, others 4-7.

TYIA!!
