<p>All intel semifinalists, were you contacted by an Intel official regarding the Finals, or will it just be posted?</p>
<p>they will be contacted</p>
<p>does anyone know what time the Intel people call?</p>
<p>if anything, it'd be tonight between say 5-8 PM</p>
<p>whoa my friend just got the call, I'm so happy for him!! :):)</p>
<p>what is this intel thing?</p>
<p>So...they call you the day before its officially online?</p>
<p>yeah pretty much ... I don't think they release it until everyone's found out beforehand</p>
<p>6 of my friends made it to FINALS...:) yay!</p>
<p>damn i didnt make it :(</p>
<p>don't worry about it, it's not the end of the world. there's so much randomness involved there's not much you can do really.</p>
<p>all of those i knew who made it deserve to be there. one has a patent and co-author 2 published papers (who does fencing and violin), 1 is the 2nd author of a theoretical paper (who debates), one is an awesome number theorist (who is prez of Beta Club and GSA), and one who won a bronze at IBO as a sophomore (and plays the violin and does celtic dance).</p>
<p>you forgot the girl who finally let us know that race is a factor in one's perception of racial profiling in terrorism prevention.</p>
<p>I'm disappointed by your attitude josh :(</p>
