<p>Never heard of it. Must be some community college.</p>

<p>Ok-- so by now the press knows about it. Agh!!</p>

<p>Hmmmmm...no news for us yet. A few more hours...</p>

<p>My friend said that the winner reminded him of a used car salesman, but I'm not going to make any judgement on him, as I haven't met him myself.</p>

<p>I'm a semifinalist!</p>

<p>I made it too!</p>

<p>Congrats to you, and others on CC who made semifinalist as well.</p>

<p>Me three! :)</p>

<p>Wooo Semi Finalist!</p>

<p>Looks like all Siemens-Westinghouse individual finalists became Intel semifinalists except for one.</p>

<p>Hopefully GuitarMan knows something about the exception.</p>

<p>Lovely! Semi-finalist :) I haven't checked the press release yet (I was on conference call with my school--four of us made it!!), so I'm very curious to see how Siemens did. Be back in a second ;)</p>

<p>Well my paper wasnt really done before Seimens so what i submitted wasnt close to my best work.</p>

<p>so yea that sucks.</p>

<p>finalists in 2 weeks!</p>

<p>Same with my paper, JDavis, and I placed third. No excuse :p</p>

<p>By the way, if you're a finalist you will not need to wait two weeks, barring any major exceptions.</p>

<p>Desh didn't make it. I don't get it at all. Maybe he didn't enter?</p>

<p>That's what I'm trying to ask you. Umm...call him or something? lol....</p>

<p>I sent an e-mail to the finalists congratulating those who made it. Hopefully Desh will respond, or I'll talk to him on AIM tonight if I see him (lol I'm never back in my room before midnight, 1 AM here every morning. You have NO idea how crazy these astrophysicists can party :P:P)</p>

<p>well im sooooory ARS, i guess ive let you all down.</p>

<p>haha.</p>

<p>Yea I hope I get a call from Ann Korundo (who calls the finalists although i think she stepped down this year) whenever they call the finalists.</p>

<p>I was in zoology...yea i know, not physics or biochem. but man its cool stuff.</p>

<p>man...our school was insane too. we got 8 in.</p>

<p>2nd highest in the nation.</p>

<p>Engineering. 'Tis too bad Intel doesn't have a bioengineering category, whereas Siemens had one.</p>
