As more and more families realize how valuable academic research is as a college admissions strategy, they come to us to learn how to get started.
But professors are busy, and most high school students don't have the skills or understanding to be able to contribute right away. This means that there are a limited number of professors who are willing to add a high school student to the team.
But because it is difficult for many to find these research opportunities does not mean that they are not available.
Duke Professor Dr. Robert Malkin joins me today to introduce scholarly research as a high school student.
Listen in to learn:
* what academic research is
* why you might want to consider doing academic research
* why it is so impressive to selective admissions teams
* how to get started
* how to be successful in a research lab
* and more
