Are there any hopefuls out there? I just received confirmation via email that they have received my submission! Anyone who is applying or already has applied? If so, what is your discipline?

I wanted to do the writing portfolio sooo badly, but I never got around to it. What are you doing?

MorganSimone · 10-27-2009, 03:19 PM

Writing too! I am doing the selection from a novel. I am crossing my fingers!

Yeah, GL. I still have time to finish something for Scholastic, thankfully. It's so hard to get a Presidential Scholarship in the Arts, but if you do manage it's an incredible accomplishment!

Yes, I know. "Rehearsing The Dream" was on HBO about two weeks ago and my eyes were glued to the tv screen. I don't know how I would react if I got called to be a finalist in Miami. And what is weird is that not many people choose writing for the program, especially within the last two years. I looked at the finalists and a huge bulk of them were music/instrumental.

Yeah, but the writers who do submite are in general incredibly talented. It's a lot of work to produce, I guess, although 20 pages isn't all THAT much.
