In a selection process that lasted about a year, Shi was chosen from nearly 12,000 college students from across the country.
"They interview a lot of people, and picking 15 of them is probably a really hard thing to do," said Shi. "I went into it with the approach of just having fun and enjoying myself through the audition and on the show itself."
Shi won her first round and finished with $19,000 and moved into the semi-finals. The winner, Monica Thieu from the University of North Texas, won the grand prize of $100,000.
