<p>So what's everyone's opinions? Either the finalists are being sworn to extra secrecy this year or Intel isn't doing calls or it's doing them later or CC was not a representative sample (in a bad way) of finalists...</p>
<p>Yeah, there's just so many possibilities. I can wait all night long though, because we're very likely to have a snow day :D</p>
<p>well, in the letter, they say they are definitely doing a call. The question is: when?
I can hardly believe that NO ONE here on CC got it. You guys are all amazing, I'm sure at least one is bound to get it. So, perhaps, we all know tomorrow then? Maybe they'll call in the morning?
btw, I don't remember, but did they ask for cell #s also on our application?</p>
<p>@ ticktock
No they never asked for cell. Unless you put down your cell number as your "primary telephone number."</p>
<p>THANKS! pk6871</p>
<p>I just talked to a last year's finalist, and he said he got a call during the time he was at school. So it's very possible that they'll call us tomorrow.
Well, one thing is that he said he got it on the day before it was publicly announced. But still, this shows that there is a possibility that we'll all know in the morning.</p>

<p>i looked through last years intel sts thread and people said they got their calls, and the timestamps were around 6-7pm of the day before they announced it... so now i'm really confused.</p>
<p>i'm happy w/ semi tho, i doubt i'll get finalist... but the laptop would be nice XD</p>
<p>i know, i thought so too. But this guy said he got it sometime he was in school.
yes! laptop would be nice indeed! :P</p>
<p>Then, if it's tomorrow, they'll call the school then?
I'll trade my check any day for a phone call. Although, a laptop is not too shabby either.</p>
<p>That I don't know. Maybe he found out after he came home from school and his parents told him or something. =/</p>
<p>ugh. thanks though!</p>
<p>boo i want to find out before my parents haha</p>
<p>this is horrible. there are 5 semifinalists from my school and NO ONE received a phone call
we had a finalist last year who said he got the call around 7</p>
<p>same here, we had 4 semifinalists, none received a call. </p>
<p>hopefully (for everybody's sake) they haven't done the calls tonight and will be doing them tomorrow? cuz this is pretty sorrowful...</p>
<p>fyi--S got a call. First, they called at about 5 p.m. central, and he wasn't home. I was sworn to secrecy (ie, I couldnt' tell my son until they called him). They called back just now, 8:30 cst.</p>
<p>i think ppl already received the calls.. i checked facebook and some people already are in the intel sts 2009 finalist group.. well CONGRATS TO FINALISTS and good luck in the competitions.. i'm so sad now .. waa</p>
<p>awww... well, it was good while it lasted.</p>
<p>CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL!!!!</p>
