<p>The rules require double spacing and 1" margins. DS's paper was 17 pages including bibliography.</p>
<p>Someone said their friend is a semi-finalist but is a junior.</p>
<p>I thought only seniors could compete?</p>
<p>Well I guess not then</p>
<p>No you can compete in both junior and senior year.</p>
<p>I didn’t wanna make my own thread to ask this, but:
Can a student enter Siemens and Intel more than once (w/ different projects) ? Aka can a student submit a project to Intel during junior year, and then submit another during senior year ? What about with Siemens, ISEF, etc. ?</p>
<p>Thanks if anyone can clarify!!</p>
<p>Hmm how complex does your project have to be in order to become a Siemens Semi-finalist? 300 out of 1500 people? or 1200? So that’s like…20%? </p>
<p>My paper was 18 pages double-spaced 1 inch margins including tables and images, and my abstract was around 75 words. My paper was on knot theory, a branch of theoretical math. No practical applications. Like, how concise and specific would it have to be to become a Semi-Finalist? Are applications necessary?</p>
<p>bumpppppppppppppp</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yes you can enter Siemens and ISEF more than once. Different projects are fine. You can even use the same project as long as you have made significant advancements since last year.</p>
<p>Intel, from my understanding you can only enter in Senior year.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>From my experience, it’s not usually so much the complexity or the high-level quality of research as much as it as the practical application. Projects that tend to have various useful potential applications tend to better in these sorts of competitions. Complexity only matter at the finalist level typically, when you need ot have like PhD-level work. Theoretical projects also tend to not usually do as well, and especially math. It is extremely rare for Math projects to do well, due to the nature of Siemens and Intel.</p>
<p>dangitttttttttttttttttttttttttttt</p>
<p>lol don’t worry wes. i know a guy who knows eric larson. the intel sts 1st place winner last year, and 2nd place siemens. he did a math project.
except he’s also a multiple IMO gold medalist.</p>
<p>that guy prolly had tons of applications</p>
<p>^^Actually he’s like 1-time Silver medalist, like 2 years ago.</p>
<p>Nonetheless, still impressive. But he had like no applications though he just like categorized fusion categories.</p>
<p>^lol i was exaggerating.</p>
<p>but yea. obscure math with little application.</p>
<p>oh hell yea…but then again Intel is based on an applicants entire application…I’m sure his IMO win or w/e was legit…</p>
<p>Dude was 1st place Intel, 2nd place Siemens, and an IMO medalist? My god.</p>
<p>So apparently my mentor got a phone call from the Associate Director of National Recognition & Scholarship Programs for College Board today regarding my project… I hope that’s a good sign!</p>
<p>Why was there not a thread for Siemens this year? Anyone else here anxiously awaiting for Friday?</p>
<p>Siemens… I just hoping to be a semifinalist! There was a girl at my school who made it to regionals, and her project was pretty amazing. It was about forestry problems and such, and she got tons of awards for it. Of course, it was 3 years of work for her- and she was only a regional finalist… Siemens is hard, and my project wasn’t nearly as good as I wanted it to be. </p>
<p>Aaaaaah Friday!</p>
<p>only about forty more hours to go for all of you guys who are waiting…</p>
<p>best of luck to you guys, may the best asians win. :)</p>
<p>When do results come out?</p>
<p>Friday when? 2PM? 2P.M eastern? 2 P.M Central? 2 P.M pacific?</p>
<p>sorry just really nervous.</p>
<p>2pm ET i believe since princeton nj is in ET.</p>
<p>I heard that in prev years finalists have gotten calls early…
anyone want to substantiate this?</p>
<p>lol crap I probably did not get anything =[</p>
