<p>I have no idea what region at large is. i won regionals for art.</p>
<p>what is RAL?</p>
<p>Region-At-Large is for people who don't have an affiliate nearby, so they compete with people from all over who don't have affiliates either.</p>
<p>I think I read somewhere (perhaps it was on this thread) that we should know by April 3rd or 4th.</p>
<p>ugh, i hope Nationals notifies us sooooon. </p>
<p>so much waiting!!!!!</p>
<p>I called the national office today.
They told me that they've mailed most or perhaps all of the decisions, and that everyone should hear by the end of this week.
goooood luck kids.</p>
<p>oh, and by everyone i mean everyone who won. they don't inform people if they don't win. lame.</p>
<p>mailed as in...old fashion, in the box mail?</p>
<p>no emails??</p>
<p>oh well, i'm not expecting much anyway</p>
<p>me either.</p>
<p>but there's always hope :-)</p>
<p>where do they mail them from?</p>
<p>wow...this week. </p>
<p>not expecting anything either, but like HousePetMarla said, there's always hope.</p>
<p>Good luck, all!</p>
<p>Aaaaaahhhh!!!</p>
<p>I hope one of us (or more!) wins... that would at least justify this thread's existence =)</p>
<p>they're mailed from new york city.</p>
<p>I totally should have asked my friend to raid the office. Drat.</p>
<p>Is this news for art, writing, or both?</p>
<p>writing. i think most art people have already been notified.</p>
<p>whoa, really? anyone who submitted art for Region-At-Large got notification already? i haven't heard anything, and i tried calling the national office today but the operator was clueless and the lady i talked to didn't know either.</p>
<p>Scholastic is very disorganized.
When I called the woman I talked to said all notifications have been sent out. I asked her when and she sort of stumbled and said that notications were sent out on different days depending on the category. Then she said that maybe all notifications hadn't been mailed yet, but they would all to be to their destinations by the end of this week.
So I suppose the reliability of that conversation remains to be seen. But I decided to take her word for it since I would love to believe that we'll hear this week :)</p>
<p>man, I wish I would've found this site weeks ago
I've been stressing over this FOREEEVER</p>
<p>My school was notified of our results [just on regional level] at the very beginning of the year.
I actually recieved 3 gold keys, and 2 silver keys. all for my photography.
I was really doubting I would get anything, but of course my hopes got really high as the days came closer to announcements.</p>
<p>I have done nothing the past few days but google search
"2007 national scholastic results" and many other combinations, which made me find this site.</p>
<p>Today my mother called the nationals place, and some woman told us they wouldn't send out TX results till the end of the week, because it's a region at large. Then my mother called plainview, tx [our regional thing] and they said only one person had one from our region, some girl in mixed media.</p>
<p>hmpfff, I suppose I didn't win anything.
My region apparently is pretty upset, because this is the second year only one person has won something from the region on national level.</p>
<p>ayyy, oh well.</p>
<p>Good luck to the rest of you.</p>
<p>Oh, I wish I hadn't seen all the new information.</p>
<p>nerdynotdirty, thanks for the TX information! I'm not really expecting anything, though. Pooh.</p>
<p>I just went through this entire thread and almost puked. Honestly, they should also notify people that don't get anything just so that we can be put out of our misery...otherwise, we still have a little hope.</p>
