*"Official" 2013 USABO*

<p>haha anyone else register the day before?</p>

<p>then again, last year’s test was insanely hard…</p>

<p>^^I took the exam last year and got a 28 and qualified. If I recall correctly, they listed the min. qualifying score under my actual score and it was either 24 or 25. They entirely changed the format of the reporting page this year.</p>

<p>Then again many people thought it was going to be a majority of cell biology but it was a lot of ecology LOL</p>

<p>I was refreshing constantly and just before 9:00 it said my score (a 26) and then a couple of minutes later it said semifinalist… Do you think that means it’s safe to say that the cutoff was below or at 26? Also a friend of mine said that his said participant and then changed to semifinalist (he got a 14)</p>

<p>Yeah Last year’s test had so much molec bio and physio, this year was eco and plants…</p>

<p>^I personally hypothesize that the only ā€œtrueā€ semifinalists are those that had it originally, so I would concur.</p>

<p>@studmuffin same thing happened to me to me except my score was a 22 lol and I’m in the pacific so… like 6 here</p>

<p>^same thing happened to me with a 23…</p>

<p>I got 18 and i was a semifinalist ever since I first logged in.
Does this mean I’m in?</p>

<p>^when did you log in?</p>

<p>^ I think about 1 hour ago.</p>

<p>^^Yeah, it depends on if you first logged in. Mine changed in like 30 minutes.</p>

<p>@kanshi I’m pretty sure nobody actually knows… It’s just all speculation. Screenshot it just in case though ;)</p>

<p>^1 hour ago isn’t early enough</p>

<p>^Yeah, that was way after it changed.</p>

<p>@ 3chainz
I screenshot it after reading your post ^^</p>

<p>everyone check to see if theirs changed back</p>

<p>Maybe they haven’t determined the cutoff yet? and the site auto updated everyone to semis?</p>

<p>My status was initially blank when I first checked (got 25), but changed to semifinals after a few minutes.</p>
