Regeneron Science Talent Search 2018-2019

Wow! I can’t believe that there wasn’t a pre-existing thread for such a prestigious and eminent competition.

I wanted to start this thread as a place for us (nervous) applicants to share and discuss our progress and hopefully resolve any questions. Feel free to post anything!

Hope for the Best

Good luck! I think we will hear back on the first week of January.

They’ll announce Scholars on January 9 and Finalists on January 23.

Do they usually send results around noon? And is it by email?

Good luck everyone

@cxyff1 It should be posted online at 12pm EST tomorrow.

Good luck to everyone!

Congratulations to all scholars (semifinalists)!

Here is the entire list: https://student.societyforscience.org/regeneron-sts-2019-scholars

The wait begins for January 23.

I received my certificate package yesterday! Does anyone have any advice as to how I should update my colleges?

Hey, I’ve just been emailing admissions office and/or region admissions counselor with scanned copy of certificate. Usually, they get back to you saying the information has been added to your file. Some require you to upload certificate through portal, and some will say they aren’t considering additional info if you applied ea and it’s late in process or you’re waiting on a scholarship.

Does anyone know if they are gonna call the day before if you are a finalist? I remember they did last year.

@plantscikid45 Yeah I’m pretty sure that’s been the routine for the past few years

last year they seemed to call anywhere from 4-5 pm the day before the public release, so tomorrow this year

Did any east coasters get a call?

Haven’t gotten anything yet… not sure if foolish to continue hoping.
Has anyone heard?
Good luck.

Are there still badges coming out this year?

Does anyone know when semifinalists receive the $2000 award?

Have a beginner question here, can published paper be used to compete in STS?
