Weinberg sophomore Katie Singh has been chosen to compete in the annual “Jeopardy!” College Championship tournament, according to a news release from the show.

Singh, of Austin, Texas, will compete against 14 other college students for a grand prize of $100,000. The second-place finisher will receive at least $50,000 and all players in the tournament will get at least $5,000. The two-week tournament will be broadcast Nov. 8 – 19.

Singh, who is majoring in political science and hoping to attending medical school, joins a sizable list of Northwestern students who have competed in the tournament. The more recent, then-Weinberg junior Dean Malec, reached the semifinals in 2007 before bowing out. The most successful finish for a Wildcat was in 1991, when Tim Lakin got third place.

Since the tournament began in 1989, students from more than 150 universities have won nearly $3 million in cash prizes.
