<p>I would say 75% chance of semi, but beyond that it’s really up to how well you interview.</p>

<p>Wow…that’s quite organized and well presented. Good job there!</p>

<p>Anyway, you’re definitely into Tech as far as admissions are concerned. I think you’re a strong candidate for semi-finalist as well.</p>
