@pandaberry Nice! Have fun at finalist week!!
@Lunarlitgend Iām holding out hope too, but wow, this is an agonizing waitā¦ Congrats to all finalists, though!
@pandaberry Yeah exactly the same, I was in rehearsal when they called so I couldnāt pick up and when I called them back it was too late. My voicemail inbox was full so they couldnāt leave a message haha, do you mind sending the extension for their phone number?
@writer333 Thank you so much!!
@bassman81 First, congratulations!!! However, Iām not sure if I can send the extension to you because Iām not sure I should post it publically, and I donāt have enough replies to send a DMā¦sorry I couldnāt be more helpful. Iām sure that they will call you back tomorrow, though!
@pandaberry You could email it to me if you want, I donāt mind having it public. I just donāt want to go through the trouble of calling every single one of their offices to find the right one.
@fortise @ashymustard applied for visual arts but i havenāt nor expect any notificationāhowever i saw from a previous finalistās instagram story that one of their mutuals are got va finalist! which being said probably means theyāre not notifying by disciplines, at least.
best of luck & also huge congrats to recent finalists!!
@remi01 Thanks! My mind is jumping to conclusions, and they arenāt exactly positive. Is it wrong that Iāve already accepted a loss? I know itās too early to say for certainā¦
@ashymustard definitely too early!! As far as we know, this is only the first or second day of notifications, and theyāre saying itās going to take all the way into next week just to finish the finalists. Hang in there! <3
do they always call from a 305 number?
everyone keep us posted of any other calls today!
Do we know how many poetry finalists have been called? There were only five last year.
Has anyone heard in the jazz category yet? And, does anyone know when emails re: honorable mention and merit winners are expected to go out?
Has anyone heard from the theater category? How many theater finalists are there typically?
@Ikbux64 On their website it says that hm and merit winners are notified last and I received an email from YA notifying my status on the 29th last time (I was a 2018 hm). But on their ig story YA said that an official list would be posted on the last week of thanksgiving so idk about this time. I applied for visual arts btw, I hope that helps!
@lkbux64 HM/Merit emails will start going out probably late next week.
@Stress19372919 there was one person in this chat that said their daughter got a call for theatre last night! Iām not sure how many others there have been 
@Stress19372919 There are usually about 20.
thank you! remaining hopeful
So nervous about the calls, I applied for the Visual Arts Category, this is my second year and last year so I hope things work out 
b good luck yall 
I got a call yesterday for Design Arts!!
