<p>Do most high schoolers that conduct research work under the supervision of a professor (as in, they work towards X professor's goals, not their own) or do they generally get supervision from the professor, but work towards their own independent project? I will likely do some research concerning finance with a professor so my situation may be different from those in the more scientific field.Thanks.</p>
<p>Most hs students do rsch under a professor or school mentor; i’d say it’s a mix of the two. BUT you ain’t gonna go far (or anywhere) in competitions if the work isn’t your own.</p>
