<p>Is the Siemens Competition (where you submit a science project) Semifinalist regarded as a very prestigious prize, or is not really a big deal for college admission? I have been a semifinalist two times. </p>
<p>Thanks so much</p>
<p>I don't know what it takes to be a Semifinalist, as I didn't do the competition and don't know the details, but the competition itself is very prestigious.</p>
<p>Judging from the schools that past semifinalists have gotten into, I'd say it's pretty prestigious. Although it seems that 75% of the Regional Finalists are in the Ivies, MIT, Stanford, etc.</p>
