Hey guys I am interested in competing in the Google Science Fair, and I’m prob gonna end up registering in ISEF and Regeneron STS as well. How valuable is winning something in the Google Science Fair for getting into a prestigious university like Columbia or Yale?
Do you enjoy this type of thing? Then you should do it.
It is prestigious. I competed in ISEF. However, don’t get too discouraged if you don’t get into one of those competitions. I was not able to advance until junior year. The important thing is to not get your hopes too high, be overconfident, and really take passion in your research.
