I was wondering how much of an effect being a Siemens competition semifinalist would have on college apps. If anyone who previously participated/won an award in Siemens would like to take a look at my research report for the competition and give me feedback, please PM me! Thanks!
It’s notable but I don’t believe it’s a huge boost. It affirms that you had a legitimate research experience, which is the important part. You can PM me if you want but not sure if I will be able to give you a detailed critique.
