<p>How can this competition be beneficial to your college application if it's for seniors and they announce the semifinalists after all the college application deadlines?</p>
<p>you send it as additional info after you receive your award</p>
<p>I thought Juniors could also apply?
But yeah, I just sent it in once I found out even though the applications were already submitted.</p>
<p>^no juniors can't participate in the STS competition. there's another comp offered by intel though that might accept juniors.</p>
<p>Juniors can do ISEF. Intel STS and Siemens individual projects are for seniors only.</p>
<p>The shortlist of semifinalists is sent to top colleges and Intel also issues
a certificate in late January that you can ask your GC to send in or do
so yourself.</p>
<p>This will be in time for the likely and regular rounds. The advantage of
the Siemens is that it can influence the outcome of your EA apps
as well.</p>
<p>The Siemens team project can be done prior to senior year.</p>
