<p>guys under 30 minutes!! OMG I’M SO EXCITED</p>
<p>good luck to y’all!! :)</p>
<p>Haha, anyone else on their phone during class?</p>
<p>Sorry, I don’t feel like reading back. Is it like national finalists that we’re waiting for or something?</p>
<p>And can somebody please link the site where all the waiting is happening?</p>
<p>I don’t have school today. </p>
<p>The waiting is going on on Facebook or Twitter. Twitter is @sfoundation and Facebook is Redirecting...</p>
<p>Waiting for regional semi finalists and finalists. And wow, lucky you! I’m about to start spamming refresh on my phone</p>
<p>They let you out of school early just to check results? ;)</p>
<p>Not for me lol</p>
<p>Time to start spamming refresh!</p>
<p>Where are they?</p>
<p>Check twitter, it’s up. Didn’t get anything, like I expected.</p>
<p>Made semis! Hoping for regionals, but semis is not too bad</p>
<p>Yeah, I didn’t get anything either. Oh well, I guess.</p>
<p>Nice job!</p>
<p>Should I even bother with Intel? I feel like Intel is harder than Siemens…</p>
<p>If your stats are good (SATs, previous record in science competitions), I would say go for it, because Siemens is a much more reasearch oriented competition than Intel. Plus Intel semis get a $1000 
, whereas Siemens semis get a “goodie bag”.</p>
<p>Haha, the goodie bag. Last year, it was a T-shirt, backpack, and kindle. </p>
<p>Wow, the number of submissions increased by nearly 40%… Well, I guess I shouldn’t feel too bad.</p>
<p>Wait, isn’t the $1000 for the school? </p>
<p>idk, I have a decent SAT score, kind of bad GPA, and have only gotten Siemens Semifinalist last year as my only research award since middle school.</p>
<p>Yay! Made regional finalist !</p>
<p>I think both you and your school get $1000. And is that really all they put in the goodie bag? Was it a kindle fire or the normal kindle? I really hoped for something more. And is it true that your school gets a big banner?</p>
<p>made semifinalist!! hoping for rf, but really happy with sf as it is :)</p>
<p>Which state are you guys from?</p>
<p>Got semifinalist! Really happy, honestly.</p>
