<p>@britatos Thank you so much for all your advice and help! I am very grateful. 
Everything you said made sense.</p>
<p>I am so nervous! Hopefully they start notifying soon.</p>
<p>Good luck, everyone! Praying for a miracle.</p>
<p>@cherryli2015 Definitely agree. A list would be easier, and less stressful than extending out the notification process for so long.</p>
<p>ahhh i applied for writing and i’m superrr nervous :s good luck to everyone and hope you guys get something!!</p>
<p>You would think that they could have implemented a new process by now… 
</p>
<p>@OverInfinity You’re welcome! Best of luck! c:</p>
<p>@britatos Did YoungArts ever contact you back about the notification dates? </p>
<p>@satutson Nope, not yet. If they really are notifying the finalists sometime this week like last year, I really don’t think they’d take the time to reply–or at least so early, especially with the YA Foundation closed on Sundays (I double-checked on Google). It was worth a shot though. :-< </p>
<p>Last year they notified the winners on Sunday. The first Sunday of November to be exact. You guys are usually home then. Best of luck to all of you. 
</p>
<p>@britatos they started notifying people on Sunday, November 3 last year according to twitter, but obviously system could have changed. I just want to know!!! :(( </p>
<p>Anyone been notified yet? this wait is agonizing :(( </p>
<p>I think they will be notifying people tomorrow and the rest of the week. </p>
<p>@satutson thank you! guess we’ll just have to wait and see</p>
<p>and yes i’ve been looking through the youngarts twitter and tumblr tag and i’ve seen no updates, so looks like they haven’t made calls just yet</p>
<p>The wait is killing me. Anyone have any tips for distracting myself? 
</p>
<p>I honestly do not think I am going to be a finalist but it does not hurt to imagine.
@16elir The wait is killing me too!!! Hang in there, buddy. </p>
<p>same, my chances of a finalist are slim to none, seeing that i applied for writing 
but it’s nice to think about it lol</p>
<p>I cannot sleep because all I am thinking about is YoungArts. </p>
<p>Lol </p>
<p>Hopefully they actually start calling tomorrow</p>
<p>I know I’m not going to be a finalist, but I really hope I can get a merit so I could the chance to attend the regional program. I just want to attend the regional program!!</p>
