<p>Are the exact judging guidelines for Intel STS published somewhere? I know on the Intel STS website it says that the greatest weight is given to the Research Report, but what about the relative importance of grades, SAT, extracurriculars, recs, essays, etc.? (On CC, a couple people mentioned that they only take grades into account when choosing the top 10 out of 40 finalists -- is this true?)</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
