<p>@starchow - I did not get a confirmation email. Did you get one?</p>

<p>I also did not get a confirmation email. I suspect this might be due to the fact that their servers are overwhelmed.</p>

<p>I will assume that there is no confirmation email after submission. Hopefully everything was received (if there servers are overwhelmed then who knows what to expect). Either way, there is nothing I can do now. Good luck to everyone!</p>

<p>I submitted this morning and did not receive a confirmation email either</p>

<p>Submitted; I haven’t recieved a confirmation (just the popup on the website) but I’ll notify you guys if I do get one</p>

<p>Same here…submitted 15 min ago and no confirmation email</p>

<p>Is there like a “typical” number of pages semifinalists have with their report?</p>

<p>Do they disqualify you if you put your name and date in a header, but didn’t put any references to yourself in the actual body of the research paper?</p>

<p>@cthulukiller001 I think they do. They explicitly said not to put any personal information in the report at all, even in the file name. Sorry, but those were the rules. </p>

<p>@cthulukiller001‌ I would email them as soon as possible! I did that and explained my mistake to them, and they said it was okay and would have no negative impact. They would just erase your name from the research report.</p>

<p>Did anyone get a confirmation email after submitting?</p>

<p>No one has so far</p>

<p>I applied for the Siemens Competition…will semifinalists and regional finalists be notified on the same day (Oct. 16th) or will regional finalists have to wait till Oct. 20th? Or are the regional finalists picked from the semifinalists?</p>

<p>@adrenalinegirl Semifinalists are announced on the 16th and regional finalists on the 20th. And regional finalists are selected from the pool of semifinalists I’m pretty sure</p>

<p>@indianboy2400‌ have you made semis or regionals in past years?</p>

<p>@tosterazn‌ I made semis last year, and in hoping for regionals this year. I heard there were over 2000 entries though :(( </p>

<p>for people wondering about confirmation emails, I’d called the line when I submitted and they said no confirmation email would be sent.
on a side note, I’m pretty nervous and really just wanna know because I think I wrote a decent paper, but its my first time submitting so I don’t know what caliber most papers are at a high school competition.</p>

<p>Last year, they released the list of semifinalists and regional finalists at the same time on twitter.</p>

<p>Hey guys, let’s try and keep this discussion alive, at least until the results come out. What were your projects on, and are you planning on submitting them to any other competitions?</p>
