@shakuton Wait, I got that same SCAD Email. Does that mean I (we) got rejected?
everyone I know who was rejected previously got emails from a college. I think last year was SAIC
@shakuton oh…
Did anyone who won an award get an email from SCAD?
Yeah did everyone get the email? I also got from SCAD but I don’t know if it’s a sign of rejection…
I didn’t get an email from SCAD, but I’m not sure if that’s because I’m already at university.
I’m in college as well but I got it
@shakuton wait do we know each other lol bc i think i recognize all the ppl u mentioned?
@Zoe528 maybe check your spam
wait wrong person i meant @wistfulwords haha
nvm im tripping out i meant both of u ? i feel like we’re probably from the same circle
Nothing in spam from either SCAD or YoungArts. Are we sure my application actually went in? 
lol dw i got an email from SCAD too
i think you guys are overanalyzing
I believe everyone gets that message. I got it too and haven’t heard anything, but hey if @peeplup got it and they’re a finalist there is nothing to worry about. Please everyone, keep your hopes up! I’m trying as well.
@Zoe528 You can check on the website and see if it was submitted. @icravedeath the person I’m talking about might be a mutual friend and maybe I do know you… I’m part of a ton of writing organizations (lit mags, journalism) so you could know me from there.
@peeplup Thank you! I really think we are. Let’s just wait and see… we can’t do anything now and they’ve already made decisions. I think the anxiety is just really getting to us. Just remember that regardless of the outcome of this contest, we’re still artists and while the programming and honor is great, it really doesn’t define us as artists. There are tons of successful artists that didn’t go through YA. If none of us get an email tomorrow, I think we should just forget about it, not because there’s no chance but because it’s not at the very least productive.
You know what, you are absolutely right. @peeplup . Honestly Guys we are overanalyzying everything. Way. Too. Much. Even I started falling into that hole and I’m getting sick of it and it’s about time we all snap out of it. Of course, I believe it’s the stress getting to us, but I think we all need to take a breather because the more we make up all these theories about Youngarts, whether it’s how they’re notifying people, making closing comments as though ALL the winners have been notified when really probably less than half have been contacted, and making assumptions on rejections, is just giving us more anxiety and more disappointment than necessary. I am positive that a lot of us have yet to be contacted but because we keep jumping to conclusions we keep disappointing ourselves way too early and making everyone lose confidence and it’s way too soon for that. I mean they still have to contact so many people from EVERY discipline and I think unless we’re here to say we got something or answer questions, we need to go with the flow of all this, relax and not make any more theories or assumptions about anything. YoungArts is really unpredictable so it’s not even worth trying. It’s raising too many blood pressures. After all @wistfulwords is right, YoungArts is way too subjective and doesn’t define us as artists because clearly we’re all amazing, and applying to a competition like this says it all. I’m one to talk after what I just said but after a good self reflection I think it’s about time to say the reality of it. As blunt as it is.
haha true I think the silence is what’s getting me. last year I remember everyone I knew who won was celebrating irl and twitter was less dead. it fuels the paranoia we all have to go through
Wow, everything I read was a roller-coaster ride. When the theory that everyone that got an email from SCAD was rejected, my heart sank, but knowing that @peeplup got it, is hope that we all might have a chance!
And I agree with @Lunarlitgend 
Some of the best artists/musicians/dancers/filmmakers/writers/etc. never went through or won competition likes these! So keep your chins up! <3
