Official 2008 INTEL STS Thread

<p>i hope they're not done making phone calls :/</p>

<p>me neither.....based on the current finalists last names......is there any shot of my alphabetical order theory being correct?</p>

<p>no because someone's last name starts with a 'z'</p>

<p>I think the west coast ones might be later...I hope...because it seems like they didn't start calling east coast unitl 5-5:30. It's logical to wait until most kids gets home, but idk, maybe I just have wishful thinking because they only need to make 40 calls, can't take that long.</p>

<p>I guess since I live on the East Coast and its 7:30pm that my shot is over. </p>

<p>Oh well.</p>

<p>me too but congrats to all and have a great time in washington.</p>

<p>My cell phone is my main number, and I was in an area that got no reception until about 7...so unless I got it and they call back, I have no way of knowing until tomorrow. Cripes.</p>

<p>any california-ers get a call?</p>

<p>Gah. Phone call - from a university that's been hounding me to apply...WHY ME?!</p>

<p>ya i think my chances are over too:( o well...hopefully being a semi-finalist will be a lot in college apps</p>

<p>wow. you guys are AMAZING!! (even the ppl who didn't get finalist) I wish i could do insane research, but i'm soo impatient</p>

<p>I'm quite surprised that only two people on CC so far has received phone calls... are the rest of you just not posting? xP</p>

<p>Rawr I guess I should kiss goodbye to my college dreams now as well xD</p>

<p>Jing</p>

<p>ya so much for the hope :(</p>

<p>did NO ONE on the forum get in from west coast? common people dont' be shy</p>

it is from what i hear</p>

<p>I got the call about 4:30 today, I live in NJ. Congrats to everyone.</p>

<p>wow congrats thatdude, matched with princeton AND Intel finalist huh ;) seriously congrats :)</p>

<p>I live in NY...and nobody was home at 4:30..that makes me more optimistic that maybe just nobody was home.</p>

<p>I with easonh89 - I'm hoping they just called my number and didn't leave a message. But then, I suppose that's just wishful thinking...I'll check tomorrow, but if I haven't found out by now, I doubt I'll have gotten it.</p>

<p>no call :(
Oh well....congrats to all of those who made semis and to those going to washington</p>

<p>congratulation to you finalists. i wish i was one of you, but they only choose the best. =)
well anyways, aside from that, for the semifinalists, how did you guys lets your colleges know that you were a semifinalist? i didn't get any certificate or letter or anything, so i just wrote a letter and mailed it to them. i hope that suffices.</p>

<p>Sue- you should have received a certficate in the package that Intel sent to you for Semi's. If not, you can contact them and they will send you copies of the certificate. I just color copyed the certificate (since it wasn't on any really special paper) and mailed or emailed (i scanned it into a PDF file) to my schools depending on what preferred. And I added a cover letter so they knew who I was and put important information on it so they could find my file easily and add it.</p>
