that’s so disappointing! x___x Sucks that money becomes a big issue…
Though I don’t know what to really expect from the regional since there isn’t much stuff about the visual arts?
many of the videos and such show and talk about music/theater - so I have no clue whether or not if it’ll be worth the money to go </p>
<p>Went through the five stages of grief, now at acceptance. There’s always next year!</p>
<p>to anyone who’s attended a regional program: is it worth it? i live relatively close to one of the regional program places, but im not 100% sure if i should go</p>
<p>didn’t get anything!</p>
<p>for people who got HM or merit who were hoping for finalist, i just want to say that i got HM last year and finalist this year (for poetry) and have a friend to whom the same thing happened. so definitely apply again next year–you have a huge chance</p>
<p>apparently regional programs are worth it–I was on the waiting list for NYC last year. just email them very quickly, the spots fill up extremely fast and you’ll just be pushed onto a giant waitlist</p>
<p>why is it called a “waiting list”? are all ppl who sign up put on the waiting list, and then ppl taken off from it based on submission time?
i know five ppl who got HM last year. 1 is a finalist, 2 got HM again this year, the other 2 got Merit. </p>
<p>I got HM for voice ( classical) I live in NYC so I am going to go. I hear it’s incredible. I’m a junior so I’m definitely going to apply again next year @FScott and try to be a finalist. Congrats everybody! let me know if any of you come to the NY regional. </p>
<p>Sadly I’m graduating this year and turning 19 next year, so this year was my first and last
I’m contemplating whether or not to attend the NY regional - any experiences for visual arts?</p>
<p>im gonna try again next year!! hoping for finalist status :)</p>
<p>Ahh do any of you guys know exactly how quickly regional spots fill up? I’m not going to get home until 10 PM tonight…maybe I’m just being paranoid, but I really want to go haha</p>
<p>I’m also going to the one in NYC! Excited to meet some of you :)</p>
<p>Ah screw it, just filled out for the NY regional, we’ll see how that goes!
Maybe I’ll see some of you there c:</p>
<p>@RunningForLife regional programs are first-come-first-serve, so the first people who email about participating are allotted slots in the program, then after it fills up every who emails goes on a wait list</p>
<p>@glasshours last year the NYC program filled up in about 2 hours</p>
<p>@FScott are you serious? that’s insane. I got my email at 3pm and I’ve only just gotten online to be able to fill out the form for the NY regional. does this mean I won’t get a place? </p>
<p>That is crazy o___o I got my email around 2:10 and didn’t get home around 5 to apply geez… </p>
<p>I emailed my RSVP form and then I got this:

<p>I just sent mine in around 7pm. arghhhhhh. I’m scared I missed my spot. It said the deadline was December 2nd. This is madness. Perhaps it depends on disciplines and if you are HM or merit? I’m so confused. Wow. </p>
<p>maybe that has to do with it??
crazy how fast it fills up gosh o_o</p>
