Can I work on independent research while not being a high school student?
My country’s academic system is different than the US. So, I have already graduated and I’m 18 still not in university, but I really want to do an independent research project and try to get it published somewhere. Is it possible or legitimate for me to do it on my own without teachers or help and use this project as an activity for my college application? It’s actually a passion project and not to make my application look good, however, I have seen that most of these are done with mentors and such and I don’t have one available and I am unsure on where and how I could find one. I wouldn’t need a lab because it’s for a psychology social research, I would just need people to answer a few questions I would formulate on a form and I would go from there.

Should I go to L.A. Film School or USC?
I have started to look into USC as well and off of its stats and the fact that it is a university, I can tell it's good. I'm just worried that I might be setting my goals too high. I'm pretty sure their Cinematic Arts school has a three percent acceptance rate and while I could prepare for high school and get a 4.0 GPA and all that, I would still have low chances of being accepted. Are there any other ways I could increase my chances of getting in? And if I don't get in should I then go to L.A. Film School or just keep trying to get into USC? Oh and also Michelle Marotta if you're reading this, thank you for answering every one of my questions. It really has been great advice.
