I was just named as a Simenes Semifinalist - Does this boost my chances for merit aid

<p>I did not get the Finalist spot. It looks like I did not get the money since I am not the top 60.</p>

<p>It was worth the experience. I am going to compete for the Intel STS. I hope that I can make it to the finalist stage.</p>

<p>I am so happy to be recognized as the top 360 kids in the country for my research. I hope this opens the door for me for more merit aid from Rice and Case Western.</p>
