How long can the package approx. take?
And how about for others (MIT/ivies/caltech)?
@grundeis Not sure, but the email said its on its way so probably not that long? If it takes longer than this week, then I would inform them with a link to the semifinalist list so they can confirm your name. Don’t want to keep them waiting too long because they might review your application without this info which could be bad. I’m not sure, I would contact each admissions office individual by email and see what they say.
How much do you think this adds to the app? How impressive is it for colleges?
My background: I am 3x ISEF finalist; 4x California science fair qualifier; published paper; 2 patents pending.
@grundeis It will help but honestly the accomplishments you have are impressive on their own. Definitely won’t hurt to put it on though.
Do our schools get $2000 as well or is that just the 40 finalists?

Ur schools right now lol
Wait so both the 300 semifinalists and their schools get $2000?
https://■■■■■■■■■■/regeneron-science-talent-search/regeneron-science-talent-search-2018-scholars-fc7a562ecdd5 This says both scholars and schools get it.
R u guys all super happy?
Have u been getting attention at ur schools today??
I’ve gotted ZERO attention lol
I’m happy, but I don’t mind not getting attention. I actually prefer it that way.
why?
Don’t you want some attention from like the administration or teachers?..or girls? hahaha
Nah, it’s all good. And I’m a straight girl so no haha.
Oh alright then lol. I’m sorry.
Ok then let me ask you - would this impress you in a guy? lmao
Haha no it’s all good. Lol maybe? Depends on how the guy presents himself I guess. If he’s in my face about it, then no, but otherwise it’s impressive.
At my school everyone is very jealous and people will just like think “UGGHH he has a better chance at Princeton than me” if u tell them ANYTHING about this stuff (girls included). Feels kind of weird
Hmm interesting dynamic. It’s not really like that in my school. Hopefully it gets less like this in college.
k
Well good to hear that there are girls who aren’t jealous but can be impressed hahahahahaa.
Anyway CONGRATS on getting this award. I was insanely amazed/surprized at the fact that I got it.
What was ur research about?
Thanks and you too! My research was on protein profiling of neurodegenerative diseases. How about you?
OMG that sounds so cool and advanced.
You see I did my project at home without the help of a lab, so it’s NOT as advanced.
But I PM’d you a link to my published paper on the project (cant’t release the name and adress to everyone)
