<p>Just checked the mail today and found that I was chosen to go to the San Francisco regional event for fine arts. Oh and the guaranteed 500 is really nice :) Anyone else from CC going to these things?</p>
<p>Congratulations man! Hopefully tomorrow I'll receive my letter (Math/Science)...</p>
<p>Hey, congrats guys! I'll see you in San Francisco too; I'm competing for Fine Arts!</p>
<p>Los Angeles in Math/Science! :)</p>
<p>liberal arts in anaheim. wow...I'm nervous, I had no idea there was a competition. I'm not good with oral competitions. do you guys know any specifics on the competition? the letter they sent me isn't very informative on what the competition entails.</p>
<p>Yeah, the competition is an impromptu speech and an interview. :)</p>
<p>It seems to me like the speech is 30 minutes to prep for a 3-4 minute speech, so, no sweat.</p>
<p>ahhh... has anyone recieved a rejection letter... or do they just leave you hanging if you dont get it</p>
<p>impromptu?!?! sounds like another academic decathlon. sigh...I'm not a good speaker.</p>
<p>oh man! liberal arts-- san francisco!!</p>
<p>But you're only competing for 3 prizes among eight people.</p>
<p>See ya in Anaheim/Los Angeles for Fine Arts! :)</p>
<p>liberal arts / anaheim it is...</p>
<p>according to the statistical #'s given on the letter, there are only 8 people who advance to the regional event for each category (32 total with the 4 categories)...</p>
<p>seems very very low to me.</p>
<p>see y'all there.</p>
<p>applied arts (business) in san jose..</p>
<p>is there one for san jose and san fran separately?</p>
<p>i lost my sheet AHH</p>
<p>hey i heard something somewhere a while back about them paying the $500 in cash? is this true or just a rumor or wat? any one from the past who has gotten this know? thanks.</p>
<p>What exactly is this competition? Can you compete if you are only a freshman in high school or is it for seniors only?</p>
<p>yeah, i just received a rejection letter today, but it says that although i am not a finalist, i was named a plaque winner by Bank of America. Any body know what a plaque winner is?</p>
<p>Anyone nominated by their school gets a plaque. I just got my rejection letter today too.</p>
<p>congrats to everyone who won today!</p>
<p>Has anyone who was at regionals received their check yet? its coming up on two months and I still haven't gotten anything.</p>
<p>(p.s. i was fine arts in SF)</p>
