snipersas - congratulations. Seriously, what you said you did was the goal of the original competition.

If kids are doing two years of research under well known researchers, that is really a master’s thesis and should not be part of these competitions. Most of the semi-finalist papers that came out of texas were from 11th and 12th graders who are part of a residential program under a real university while there have been 3 papers in a major city like Houston which has 2 medical schools, one top 20 university, one major university with a campus next to NASA. I guess none of those universities think they need to foster high school kids for Intel awards.
