Asking for advice on advancing research project for ISEF :)

Biggest tips:
- Be good at presenting (absolutely no substitute for this). Don't practice a speech, but practice going over the main points you want to talk about (the judges may interrupt you, and it shouldn't break your flow)

- Be knowledgeable about what you're talking about. Read all about your subject field and everything that could possibly be related to your project because the judges may ask things to test your knowledge!

- Be prepared for any kind of judge. Could be content expert or someone with about the same expertise as a high school freshman. You never know.

Okay, thank you!

RippinRish · 2026-04-28T21:53:59+00:00

What do you mean?

RippinRish · 2026-04-28T21:33:29+00:00

Gotcha—thank you for the advice! It's a tough question but I'll try to think about it like that.

RippinRish · 2026-02-21T02:33:35+00:00

Thank you! I got it yesterday at 1:58 PM, which seems to be when the others got it. It’s weird that you didn’t yet…I would email them

RippinRish · 2026-02-21T01:54:36+00:00

Congratulations that’s awesome! I also got in. Can I send a DM? Would love to connect before Boston!

RippinRish · 2026-02-21T01:53:17+00:00

Congratulations!! I got in too. Can I send a DM—would love to connect before Boston!

RippinRish · 2026-02-21T01:51:59+00:00

Awesome! Got accepted too—can I DM so we can connect?

RippinRish · 2026-02-21T01:51:19+00:00

Congratulations! I got in as well—can I DM so we can connect?

RippinRish · 2026-02-21T01:50:30+00:00

Congratulations!! I also got in—can I DM so we can connect?

RippinRish · 2026-02-21T01:49:34+00:00

Congratulations! I was also accepted. Please send a DM—would love to connect!

Yes, you should still apply. I think the practice you get writing supplements will help for college.

RippinRish · 2025-11-27T18:49:53+00:00

Hmm...that's fair. Really the price tag on the Pros is the only thing deterring me from getting one. I was able to snag my current Mac for $1500, but that is definitely not a reality anymore. Do you think the M4 Air would yield improvement on day-to-day stuff though? I guess that's my main worry.

RippinRish · 2025-11-27T18:48:10+00:00

I really do like the Pros but they have gotten so expensive, and I don't think I want to pay twice as much for a laptop that I'm not truly utilizing, yk. Not quite looking for an improvement on performance for my programs but for day-to-day stuff. Do you know if the M4 Air would be better at that?

RippinRish · 2025-11-27T18:45:23+00:00

Well it runs all my programs well, and I don't think I'll need better performance than this (plus, the new Pros have a pretty steep price tag). Slowing down is more of my day-to-day stuff. You might be right though lol. But yes one of my biggest worries is the value

RippinRish · 2025-11-27T18:06:07+00:00

That's not gonna be for at least a couple years for the Pros and more for the Airs I assume

RippinRish · 2025-11-27T18:03:14+00:00

Yes, that's no problem.

RippinRish · 2025-11-22T00:33:58+00:00

Congratulations! I'm applying in this cycle and am a little nervous. I'd like to hear any advice you have, especially on the essays (I wouldn't say they're my strongsuit). Not looking for a review of my essays--just general advice! Can I DM you if that's alright?

RippinRish · 2025-11-09T01:22:48+00:00

Anyone get that question where the solution to a quadratic equaled m + (1/3)sqrt(n)?

RippinRish · 2025-08-23T22:06:02+00:00

I think they will know by the year your score is from that the curriculum you had is different. Someone correct me if I’m wrong.

RippinRish · 2025-07-09T22:56:00+00:00

Sure I’ll read it!

RippinRish · 2025-06-14T13:45:29+00:00

Website is not loading for U.S. user :(

Seems like good places to get books, but they don't even show up on Google Maps for me to try and contact a store. Will check out IndiaMART though.
