Do school research projects count as research?

<p>Or is it only published material in journals etc?
I did some serious research in an unexplored area of physics(can't divulge details to avoid personal identification) using the limited equipment I had in my poor school. Does it count? If yes, should I send it as a supplement or talk about it as an EC in the activities section?
Thanks.</p>

<p>Maybe talk about it in an essay? </p>

<p>Any serious physics with high school equipment is amazing. Did you enter Intel/Siemens? If not, maybe enter local science fairs.</p>

<p>Nah. There’s so Intel/Siemens back in my country. And there are no science fairs for high school students, most are for college students.</p>
