Hi, I was wondering what the significance of Siemens Semifinalist or ISEF Finalist have on college admissions? Along with steady grades, high test scores, and other decent extracurriculars, are these almost “automatic” entry into any of the top selective schools? Thank you!
They are definitely a huge boost to your application. I wouldn’t go so far as to say they allow “automatic” entry, but they are basically the next best thing.
