<p>for team projects, do they call all the members of the team?</p>
<p>Even if you did get a call, the finalists are bound to the official release on Oct.30.</p>
<p>yea, but its always good to know early</p>
<p>What do you mean "bound" crom? If a finalist gets a call they are instructed not to let anyone know?</p>
<p>are you guys 100% positive that finalists get a call?</p>
<p>well, i think thats the tradition that they have been doing, but has anyone gotten a call yet? its almost 5:00 on the east coast and i think they get off work soon :(</p>
<p>No i havent gotten any call. Do the calls come over the weekend also?</p>
<p>im not sure if the calls are in the official guidelines so much as a courtesy to those who make regional finals so they will have ample time to prepare their presentations. I was told firsthand from a friend who made regional finals last year that siemens calls regional finalists a few days before they release the list online. And yes, the calls should be over the weekend, and i thought the start today, but I may be mistaken about that.</p>
<p>does anyone know what the semis get, what is the gift?</p>
<p>I got a call but was too late to answer it. She said she was from the Siemens competition...I'm a semifinalist by the way.</p>
<p>wait, so you're a semi or finalist?</p>
<p>I'm a semifinalist However, I just received a message from Collegeboard concerning the Siemens Competition. THis happened today ( the 27th). Unfortunately I didnt pick up the phone. The lady said she'll contact me again later this weekend. I dunno if this is regarding Finalist or what....</p>
<p>What area/region at you in?</p>
<p>Midwest Region</p>
<p>anyone get the call yet?</p>
<p>nope...i'm starting to lose hope :(</p>
<p>They contact 30 individuals and 30 teams correct?</p>
<p>^yess! (10 char)</p>
<p>any idea how many teams are semis?</p>
<p>compared to the number of teams that enter, quite a few</p>
