<p>Hey guys!</p>
<p>Anyone get a phonecall today confirming that they made semi's?</p>
<p>yeah. dude, where are you from?</p>
<p>northern ca</p>
<p>good luck with it man. i'm from socal and my interview is on tues.</p>
<p>thats so cool! i just had my interview today. good luck! what do u think made them choose u as a semi finalist? u kno like in ur video etc...</p>
<p>how did the interview go? man i dont know. it sucks because i'm not sure if i can do it anymore. i'm not going to be available on the dates they currently have down to produce the show. life is so cruel.</p>
<p>interview went well. first they tape u n then u talk to a college counselor. what do u think is unique about urself taht might make them cast u on the show?</p>
<p>i dont think my interview was all that great. haha. i dont know what is unique about me. i think the next cut is going to be brutal...120 very well qualified students down to like 30-40. and i'm so weary to sign the contract! it's too thick to read. good luck.</p>
<p>This is what I would advise my child: before you sign this contract, pay an attorney to look at it.</p>
<p>Have they already called all the finalists then?</p>
<p><em>sigh</em> This sucks.</p>
<p>how much would it cost to hire an attorney?</p>
<p>You might ask a few adults you know for names. Also, call your local Bar Association (should be in phone book or google it) and tell them you need an attorney to look at an entertainment contract. They can refer you to someone who is experienced in contract law. It's okay to call and ask how much they charge. It may be a per hour charge or it may be a one time set fee. Depending on where you live it could cost $50 or considerably more. </p>
<p>I have heard and read horror stories from people who have appeared on these reality shows and are very unhappy with the finished product. I just think you should be aware of what you're getting yourself into.</p>
<p>i got a call too. i went for an interview on the 9th.. i think it went well.. does anyone know when they are notifying the finalists?</p>
<p>the creator of the show told me that they will notify finalists around christmas time. haha. where are you from? good luck.</p>
<p>oh great so it will either be a an awesome or awful xmas!!... i'm from around the boston area</p>
<p>Are you guys just DYING to know!??? Ugh I can't wait till they tell us..OMG...anything unsuusal they did to you at the interview that made you think they might choose you??</p>
<p>did any of you get a call yet?</p>
