Looking for a research partner.

<p>I’m not sure if this is the right thread, but I think the title sums up my idea here.</p>

<p>Are you interested in going into a competitive program in a competitive university or think tank? If you’re an honors/AP/IB student with high ambitions and a focus in the areas of Politics, IR studies, History, and related social sciences, I am interested in talking with you. High-level classes can be tough, especially when the pressure of making your transcript good enough for recruiting universities is overwhelming. But I’m also interested in developing ideas–and this is what I’m proposing:</p>

<p>I’m looking for a high school student who, like me, wants to succeed in changing the world, and wants to do it through in-depth analysis, study, and research in accordance with or outside whatever they’re studying in class. I’m looking for someone who is generally interested in the material of the IB curriculum, who has an almost inexhaustible love for writers, historiography, and current culture and events.</p>

<p>About me: I’m a graduating junior/incumbent senior. Taking the International Baccalaureate programme. I’m currently looking at highly selective colleges both globally and in the U.S. I’m looking for someone who is interested in a kind of motivational partnership/study help group, and you could be from any timezone, any country–as long as we speak the same language and have comparable interests. We won’t meet, so I don’t care what you look like. The point of finding a research partner is to locate someone with my interests who can help me grow in my ideas and whom I can help with analysis, thoughts, and sharing knowledge–in a way that helps us both in a more one-on-one scenario than a study group, or a research-sharing website. And because I do IB, I don’t really have a sleep schedule, so I’m counting on both of us to be flexible with times and helping one another. Basically, I’m looking for an international friend, and all IB memes aside, if you take this course, you know what it can feel like to sit up late, on your own, your focus waning, whilst trying tp finish and edit a 2000 word paper due the very next morning.</p>

<p>Anybody in?</p>

<p>This sounds like a great opportunity. I’m only a sophomore, so not in the IB program yet, but if I was, I would totally give you a message. Good luck finding someone!</p>

<p>Thanks for reading, Peytonmg. I’m glad you considered it, at least for a second. And I do hope you take IB, because it is an awesome programme, I just believe that it could be so much more for a few of us if we collaborated, rather than going it alone. Thanks anyway!</p>
