<p>To those who entered Siemens Westinghouse in the past, what happens after semi-finalist? I know from the website that we go to the local university(georgia tech for me, if i make it!) and have to show a poster, powerpoint slide, and question answer with judges.</p>

<p>But what I want to know is the nitty gritty. It doesn't seem like a lot of time to prepare that stuff. Are you guys preparing that now? How was the question-answer with the judges?</p>

<p>Any advice would be great. I don't know if I'll make semi-finalist, but I do know that I have 4 day weekend right now, so I should look into it.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I'll start on my talk once I'm a confirmed semifinalist (I'll be waiting for a phone call all tomorrow!! ), after all I'll need to use that elsewhere. If I do end up a Southwest Regional Finalist then I have a week to make a poster, and it will basically be a copy of my project .... only made all nice and pretty with Adobe Framemaker.</p>

<p>Do you go to the site to present if you are regional finalist or semifinalist? I was under the impression that you only went in the former case.</p>

<p>yeah you don't do anything for just being a semifinalist.</p>

<p>I really just want to put "Siemens Scholar" on my Stanford application .... then they probably won't notice those B's in Spanish.</p>

<p>Also I want one of those great Siemens-Foundation backpacks. That's style!</p>

<p>Erosannin: They don't call you for semi-finalist status I am pretty sure. That is only for finalist status.</p>

<p>Yeah, I don't think they cal semifinalists either. </p>

<p>Did last year's semis actually get iPods? That's insane.</p>

<p>And erosannin,"once I'm a confirmed semifinalist." Are you joking around or do you already know you are one?</p>

<p>***? last years semi's go iPods?</p>
