<p>Omg yes semifinalist woooooooot</p>
<p>hmmm…how prestigious is semifinalist?
What’s better, intel semifinalist or siemens semifinalist?
oh yah…so many finalists and semifinalists from california…this is a nerdy state, lol
so 300/1500 projects ~20 %…not bad</p>
<p>Semifinalist!! 
Wow, I still can’t believe I made it… lol I literally finished my research paper two days before the deadline and sent it in by overnight mail.</p>
<p>Congratulations everyone!</p>
<p>@dashboard: California’s a “nerdy state”? Lol, I guess you didn’t check the lengths of the semifinalist and finalist lists for NY.</p>
<p>^agreed. ny is nerdier…two pages of semifinalists…</p>
<p>dam… nothinggggg</p>
<p>Regional Finalist!</p>
<p>How much work needs to be done? Can I take the presentation I used at NWSE and fit it for the Siemen’s competition?</p>
<p>So what exactly do Semifinalists get??</p>
<p>Automatic admission and full rides to colleges of choice.</p>
<p>Semifinalists get their name listed + a plaque I think? Also a bit of bragging rights (If that’s important to ya)</p>
<p>Torcher…I WISH!!!</p>
<p>and bragging rights…just what I wanted =]
but I heard we get like ipod shuffles?</p>
<p>semifinalists get a “recognition package” usually like an ipod shuffle or camera</p>
<p>^dude that is LEGIT. lol.</p>
<p>^ yeah but it cant beat intel semifinalists who get $1000</p>
<p>My school has 4 semifinalists and 5 regional finalists. I don’t even know what their projects are about…</p>
<p>Is 11th grade too late to start a Siemen’s project? I have no idea where to start.</p>
<p>^Troy high school?</p>
<p>alright…time to work on Intel STS now…</p>
<p>abercrombie: no way, 11th grade is not too late!!! I did my project over summer, and I got semifinalist, plus co-author in a national conference, and hopefully intel sts…</p>
<p>YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!</p>
<p>Hell ya…</p>
<p>REGIONAL FINALIST!!! Im GETTING THAT $1000!!!</p>
<p>Camera? Man, I want that package on my front doorstep ASAP.</p>
<p>iPod vs. 1000 dollars…lol
well, considering i’m one of the only teenagers without an ipod, I could use it
and all you regional finalists have my full envy…sigh</p>
