<p>Named an Intel STS Semifinalist today. What are my chances now?</p>

4

<p>How did you get back from Intel already? The site says that they’re still judging.</p>

5

<p>My friend heard back yesterday as well. I’m pretty sure results are released.</p>

6

<p>@insub, that might be the finalist stage. Not to be annoying or anything, but 100+ people read this thread, yet only one said anything about my chances…</p>

7

<p>I’d say you have a good shot, still.</p>

<p>good luck!</p>
