<p>Intel announces to the public at 1 PM on Wednesday -- they aren't going to call you during school!</p>
<p>haha i wish i was intel STS - caliber</p>
<p>Finalists are usually called the night before the public announcement...so the student can be prepared to respond to the press! (Which...in small communities...can be quite a big deal.)</p>
<p>Not calling you during class time could also be a reason.....</p>
<p>bumping this cuz we're gonna find out soon. good luck to all of you!</p>
<p>GL all! my phone is kinda broken, so even if i get lucky, itll take longer for them to contact me. fun.</p>
<p>no call yet on this board.......bad time to have a broken phone. maybe mine is broken because it is not ringing!! hello...yes i would like 5000$ and a new computor..........</p>
<p>I LOST MY CELL PHONE YESTERDAY!</p>
<p>could anything be worse? i don't know...=(</p>
<p>good lucky everyone.</p>
<p>Charge your phones. Do your homework. Breathe deeply. It will all work out. Good luck to all -- remember what you've accomplished just to get here.</p>
<p>i don't know what to do with myself. i didn't even think i was going to be a semifinalist (and i didnt care that much either), but now that I am, all I can think about is being a finalist.
I'm perfectly aware of my chances, but even so I NEED to find out. it would be so cooooooooool</p>
<p>Same! After I didn't get Semi's for Siemans, I thought I would have no chance at Intel since everyone told me its harder to win Intel.</p>
<p>I didn't even know the results came out until a friend texted me to congratulate me. But now that I know I am a semifinalist, I concentrate on anything else.</p>
<p>hahaha easonh89 same here, I didn't so sieman's so I thought intel was just a shot in the dark.</p>
<p>if anyone get a call, please post :) so we can know that they are going out</p>
<p>wait, they call you on your CELL PHONE? I thought they call you on your HOME PHONE! >.<</p>
<p>I can't sit still and literally every second is such a drag right now.... did anyone get called yet?</p>
<p>AND MY FRIEND JUST CALLED ME AND I GOT ALL NERVOUS FOR NOTHING =(</p>
<p>Good luck everyone! =)</p>
<p>Jing</p>
<p>haha i know what you mean. I came home and I saw a message on my answer machine and got all exciting....but it was the library calling about my overdue book :( so ya </p>
<p>btw do you guys know if they take your SAT, GPA, essay into consideration for finalist? or is it purely the paper and research?</p>
<p>silence, waiting...waiting...waiting....</p>
<p>Dont you love how theres like no one calling, and then once someone does its someone you definastely dont want to talk to... haha....</p>
<p>If you get a call, please post. </p>
<p>GL, all.</p>
<p>one of us is bound to get a call. this is late though. last year they were done with the east coast calls by now.</p>
<p>Really? They were done calling the East Coast already by this time last year?</p>
<p>ah crap. that's not very encouraging at all. AH A PHONE CALL....</p>
<p>asd;flkjadlkfj it was from a stupid telemarketer. this is very annoying. i just want to find out already even if i dont get it.
none of the other semis from my school got called yet either, so idk.</p>
<p>Hey does anyone know if the high school teachers (filled out on the Intel app form) of the Semifinalists were supposed to get certificates?</p>
<p>yup, my teacher got one</p>
<p>ughhh I am waiting on west coast :P</p>
<p>my teachers didn't. but maybe it's because I put down 2 teachers?</p>
