Andrew, an Astronomy and Astrophysics concentrator, said that his experience on the show was "awesome."
"The atmosphere wasn't competitive, that was the most surprising part," he said. "Even though we were all trying to get in the hot seat, we rooted for everyone once they got in the seat."
ABC flew Andrew and his parents to New York, put them up in the Empire Hotel, drove them around in limousines and gave them spending money. The native of Pflugerville, TX said that he got the "grand special treatment" during his first trip to New York City.
Although he wouldn't say if he won any money, Andrew said that his friends will be proud of him when they see the show.
"I did the best I could," he said. "It will be thoroughly interesting to watch and see how I did."
The Navel ROTC cadet will continue to clean blackboards in the Science Center and do odd jobs around Cambridge. But he said that doesn't mean that he didn't win money on the show.
"I'd still continue working even if I one a million dollars," he said. "Money's not everything. I just needed enough to pay for school."
