Re: How well does a rookie have to perform during the season to make it to IRI?
I'd suggest contacting the organizers for the answer. If you're good enough for regional or championship eliminations, your chances go up. I bet I know one rookie that would get an invitation if they applied, partly because having a regional win and a regional semifinalist was a setup to getting to Einstein...

You got nothing to lose by applying. Why not apply? If you don't get in, though-- go anyway. Volunteer. It's like the MSC, only bigger and with non-MI teams showing up. IRI has a reputation as the best off-season event around. Go a day early, and take a trip up to West Lafayette, if you're looking at engineering schools.

Also, note the Early Career event. It's open to 2009 Rookies...
