Update 10/26

First prescreen rejection came Friday from Coastal Carolina (aka the school I accidentally applied to when I wasn't supposed to)! I wasn't at all upset--I haven't even let myself think that I might actually go to college one day, so I'm not really attached to any particular school--but it totally made this process real for me. It was like, "WOW, it is my turn, and schools are watching MY videos (!) and acknowledging that I exist, and maybe I do exist? (it was a very existential moment), and I am going to get more of these, possibly 8 more, and that's fine but like THISISHAPPENING."
Pace said a week so I was prepared for a rejection from them too but I just keep getting these e-mails listing audition requirements. I double and triple checked and I've done everything on the lists. They say to call if you haven't heard within two weeks.
To be honest though, not passing the vast majority of prescreens is a bit worse than just not getting accepted anywhere because obviously, schools take more kids through the prescreen than they do into their actual program. Like, you could be rejected from a /school/ but as long as you passed prescreens you at least knew you were decently close, or like in the top half of auditioners. Honestly, I doubt I am, though I think it's a lot about type, like I said in my last post. As you all know, I have a lot of regrets about my prescreens as it is (and I will list them at some point in the future so you can avoid making the mistakes I made! Maybe I will even post them?). But there is no point worrying about it now.
I love how I'm assuming I didn't pass ANY prescreens after hearing back from one. But I'm one of those people who assumes the worst, because if it doesn't happen (not if the best does, if the worst doesn't), you're pleasantly surprised, and if the worst DOES happen, that sucks but at least you get to be right about something. Oh yeah, this is how I get through everything in life.
