<p>I was wondering whether the IB extended essay would count as independent research. It is an investigation/research assignment completed as a necessary component of the curriculum I am taking but its not part of a class nor did I receive any significant guidance or anything like that.</p>
<p>just so you know - i used my EE as research statement too…it is completed outside of school (bulk of my research was done between May - September).</p>
<p>i did that as well… im sure its fine :)</p>
<p>I’m thinking of doing the same thing.</p>
