<p>Does anyone know how they select national winners?</p>
<p>@AstroBlue <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/massachusetts-institute-technology/1356238-mits-view-ap-siemens-award.html?highlight=ap+siemens+award[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/massachusetts-institute-technology/1356238-mits-view-ap-siemens-award.html?highlight=ap+siemens+award</a> In this thread someone “found out about the award shortly before hearing back from MIT,” which is…Now. Haha Also this thread <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/financial-aid-scholarships/813950-siemens-ap-award.html?highlight=ap+siemens+award[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/financial-aid-scholarships/813950-siemens-ap-award.html?highlight=ap+siemens+award</a> is literally the exact same conversation we’re having right now except it’s from last year. No one complained about getting a letter then not getting the award. So I think it’s safe to say that we got it. </p>
<p>@Twoleftfeet The tiebreaker is listed on the website, the CollegeBoard breaks ties by looking at our raw(! which we never get) scores on each exam to break the cases where the same # of people have the same # of 5’s</p>
<p>On an unrelated note, has anyone received an email back from the email we were supposed to send the sheet to? I want to make sure it got there alright.</p>
<p>Oh cool, thanks! I’m hearing back from MIT relatively soon too, so hopefully that goes well too haha…</p>
<p>Haha iambenk, I meant the national winners, not the state ones. =P</p>
<p>@Twoleftfeet I know. They take everybody that is a state winner with 8 5’s, and see who did the best, raw. At least that is how I understand it.</p>
<p>@iambenk: My bad, I must have readit wrong.</p>
<p>And I got an email back from the Siemens AP people… telling me I accidentally put my graduation date as 06/2012 instead of 2013. >_<</p>
<p>@Twoleftfeet Classic haha. I got back an email saying “My application has been received.” I asked what was next in my previous email and they completely ignored that question lol. I guess we find out on the 15th</p>
<p>Anybody from California???</p>
<p>I got the letter in the mail over a week and a half ago. Apparently, my parents didn’t notify me about any letter and I was called by Collegeboard on Friday asking me to submit the form. I was actually really surprised that I got the letter seeing as how I only had 3 5s… O__o</p>
<p>What state are you from and are you male or female? Some states only take 2…</p>
<p>Hawaii. Male.</p>
<p>Got my congratulatory email today!</p>
<p>Just got my email this evening, though it was accompanied by bad news from the coca-cola scholarship. Siemens has such straightforward criteria, but Coke has very fuzzy details on what they want. Their form was simply a listing of volunteering and ECs, so it much have been (lack of) volunteering that did me in. Still, I am excited about AP. Third in a row at my school, and fourth in 5 years, so it is nice that I carried on the streak.</p>
<p>Did anyone receive confirmation email about State/National Award? Their original letter said after Dec 15th.</p>
<p>yup, got the confirmation email on the 14th!</p>
<p>Is the confirmation email for State Winners? Does anyone know who the National Winners are?</p>
