<p>SueW- Are you a super genius, or do the smarter than average have a chance at winning too?</p>
<p>I'm worried that going t the competition will be pointless because I did not get a perfect score on the ACT and all that. </p>
<p>Also- what did you study that you found useful?</p>
<p>thanks- </p>
<p>lil</p>
<p>^ Yes, it would be nice to have some idea what I ought to study before I go to the test in February, after reading how difficult it is going to be.</p>
<p>I still haven't decided if I am doing this. When is it?</p>
<p>The first one is February 2nd and 3rd. The second one is a week or two later.</p>
<p>Well, just got back from the Great White North and all I can say about the test is -- that was different. No pressure, everyone was in a good mood but it was damn cold!!</p>
<p>Thought the weekend stuff was good and my Mom sucked up the fact that being from OOS, State might be about $100,000 over 4 years that UMich. Hmm ...</p>
<p>I can say with almost scientific precision that I won't be winning a test scholarship, but it was a great excuse to see the school during the worst weather of the year.</p>
<p>Well, Senator, I'm glad you sound like you had a good time... the test is really, really tough, so don't feel bad about not winning the scholarship (keep hope alive) and don't make that a negative toward MSU (it doesn't sound like you have) ... and as for the weather, well, ... can't do a lot about that; practically the entire North (including out here in the East) is in a deep freeze...</p>
<p>My son thinks he did fine on the test. I think what he enjoyed the most was having a room at the Kellogg Center all to himself for the night.</p>
<p>All to himself? I thought we were going to be paired with a roomate. How disapointing.</p>
<p>DannonWater, are you going to the next competition? Yes, the instructions said there would be a roommate but my son ended up in a room by himself.</p>
<p>Oh yeah. I should probably do this.</p>
<p>I ended up in my own room too. </p>
<p>It was most likely for the best since I stayed up all night. </p>
<p>LOVED THE QUESTIONS. what is is derivative of the integral of sinx? HA!</p>
<p>Sinx, of course!</p>
<p>I missed it, didn't I.</p>
<p>I looked at the site and I did.</p>
<p>Oh well.</p>
<p>Haha, I had the same with the single room. Didn't leave the coffee-social-whatever til a little before midnight.. and then I didn't go to sleep until just before one. :)</p>
<p>ADS Finalist ^_^</p>
<p>Same!! How did your interview go?</p>
<p>Not so well. I think I started spacing out. Are you planning on attending MSU?</p>
<p>My son didn't even make semifinalist. Oh well, we had a very nice tour of campus.</p>
<p>ix-nay on inals-fay.</p>
<p>I just got the call, and I'm an AD Scholar. ^_^ I'm quite excited for next year.</p>
<p>Excellent, Arwen... You've gotta be awfully smart to crack that baby. Very few do.</p>
