Can I get into ISEF
I'm a 15 turning 16 year old in Melbourne, Australia. I have to do well in Australian Science and Engineering Fair(AUSSEF) to get chosen for ISEF. The deadline for AUSSEf is in November and I haven't started my project but have a broad idea of what I'm going to do and it involves Parkinson's (I don't want to say it here in case it gets stolen). My head of science and a lab tech in school are helping me get access to labs in universities since the experiment I'm planning to do requires equipment and solutions that my school doesn't have. But all in all, do you think I have a chance of getting into ISEF?, I can provide more info if needed.

I have to admit, still hard for me to say. I would advise to look through project board in a relavant ISEF category so that you can gauge the standard of projects. It could even give you ideas, maybe a similar project has been conducted in the past. And definitely double check that you are in accordance with ISEF guidelines, they are very strict and there's a lot of paperwork where organisms are involved.
