<p>Should we expect notifications to start going out this upcoming week? I applied for visual arts and this would give my college applications a nice boost!</p>
<p>On the website it says December, not sure about November.</p>
<p>the threads from the previous years made me think that the winners were notified before Thanksgiving.</p>
<p>Last year, finalists were notified November 3rd-4th. Merit and Honorable Mentions were notified the week after, and everyone else was e-mailed in December.
But this year nobody has been notified of anything yet, as judges are still in the process of evaluating submissions. I applied for Spoken Theatre and hope to be a finalist. Good luck! </p>
<p>@achieving11 Thanks for the update. Let me know if you start to hear of notifications. Best of luck to you!</p>
<p>I got an email saying I put the wrong DOB, which means they must be looking at applications</p>
<p>I just got an email from SAIC telling me congratulations on my Young Arts recognition. Now I am puzzled. Did anyone else get notified today for visual arts?</p>
<p>I just checked. My D got the same email. Since no formal calls or emails have been made yet it seems, I wouldn’t read too much into it. It could be as simple as “recognizing as participation.” </p>
<p>Of course, it could be as awesome as being a Finalist, but I think only time will tell (and hopefully not too much longer!)</p>
<p>Good luck (and congratulations) either way! </p>
<p>@Ibmatson, have you kept up with the YoungArts 2014-2015 thread here on CC? </p>
<p>@2019theatremom I called SAIC and they confirmed that they sent this to all of their applicant candidates. Oh well, at least I am now going to save a $65 application fee!</p>
<p>Hey $65 is $65 worth saving. You’re going to need it! </p>
<p>I found some threads from years past. Similar emails from colleges started about this time. I think it’s more “recognition of participation” than being indicative of a prize. Doesn’t mean that won’t happen either–but I think there is not a correlation between messages from colleges at this point and the status of any YoungArts award. </p>
<p>Yes, that is how SAIC explained it to me. Thanks.</p>
<p>I applied in the Theatre division and haven’t received any e-mails at all related to YoungArts yet! </p>
<p>@achieving11 those responses from colleges could also be categorical. SAIC isn’t a performing arts school so maybe the college is targeting students who applied in other areas.</p>
<p>@YoungArts: @Matson6194 We’re working on data/emails/tedious stuff today. 
Can’t say exactly when notices will go out because #technology, but soon!</p>
<p>so we do think today or tomorrow? 'cause this wait is killing me! :-SS </p>
<p>I just saw a notice saying all winners are now posted online. Congratulations to all who submitted this year!! </p>

Congratulations to all those who did!!</p>
