<p>Do any of you know what high school churns out the most Intel semi/finalists? Do you know what high school churns out the most Westinghouse semi/finalists? </p>
<p>I was wondering if it was like a private or public school</p>
<p>Bump this up</p>
<p>Stuyesant and Bronx Science High School Public Schools in New York, and St.Francis Prep High school in NY used to have a record for private schools.
This is for both Westinghouse and Intel i think.</p>
<p>You know why ppl from Sty win? My mom works at Columbia U. Half of her coworker's (chinese) bring their kids into work @ CU. At the end of the summer, they get one of their other friends to essentially hand their child a paper that they are going/alrdy published, and the kid paraphrases everything =P. I know a kid (no names) that worked at Eric Kandel's lab @ CU (<-- big shot at Columbia, my dad works with him too). She copied the paper some PhD gave her and at the end, she wrote herself a recc that Kandel signed. --;;</p>
<p>Does anyone know what school had the most number of intel winners? How many winners did that school have?</p>
<p>I don't know the exact numbers, but science-oriented public magnet schools seem to dominate -- such as the previously mentioned Stuyvesant and Bronx Science, as well as Thomas Jefferson in Virginia and Montgomery Blair in Maryland.</p>
<p>Clearly someone is jealous . . .</p>
<p>the reason Stuy kids win is:
a) They work themselves crazy for it
b) The school gives them a lot of support - there is an entire class you can take instead of a Tech class that is preparation for INTEL</p>
<p>the reason Stuy kids win is:
a) They work themselves crazy for it
- I go to Stuy, and that isn't necessarily true. One of the semifinalists at my school when I was a freshman only worked a week on the project.</p>
<p>b) The school gives them a lot of support - there is an entire class you can take instead of a Tech class that is preparation for INTEL
- It's double period heh.</p>
<p>stupak - what year are you? That can't possibly be true.</p>
<p>2007er - gr 10 letter limit</p>
<p>Speaking for Bronx Science, a girl on my friend's team had to travel from Staten Island to the Bronx to work in the hospital for two summers in order to achieve that semi-finalist status. My friend will have to go to her lab EVERY DAY during this upcoming summer to work on her project. As far as I know, everyone puts an immense amount of effort into their projects. There is an intel class starting sophomore year.</p>
<p>There are classes and stuff for research, but there are still people who don't come from any amazing, acclaimed school, and do well in the competition.</p>
<p>Stuy and Bronx offer a great amount of oppotunity, though.</p>
<p>Well then you're a junior - the same year I was when you claim a guy got it who worked on it for a week. I know semifinalists from that year (Stuy '04 - I'm an 05er) and they wall worked really hard. All of the semifinalists my year spent insane amount of time on INTEL - their lives practically revolved around it. I just don't see how anyone who could have worked only a week could have gotten that far. Maybe he worked a week on the paper itself but the project probably took all summer.</p>
<p>Did those people who plagiarized the Ph.D.'s paper win anything?</p>
