<p>Well, i go to a HUGE high school (4,000+ kids), so naturally, things such as handing out PSAT scores take FOREVER. I tried to email my counselor to get them, but they wouldn't let me. However, i did receive an invitation to the prestigious TASP program in the mail. Does this mean that i scored high on the PSAT? How high do you think one must score to get an invitation?</p>
<p>Thanks guys!</p>
<p>I got invited to TASP and I made NMSF. :)</p>
<p>What's TASP?</p>
<p>lolcats4 are u a senior right now?</p>
<p>Smile614: TASP is Telluride Association Summer program. I think it's a humanities-focused summer program. It's six weeks and very prestigious.</p>
<p>Yes I'm currently a senior.</p>
<p>I didn't do TASP because I didn't have time, but I think it's because I got my high score that I got a letter from it</p>
<p>General gist of what I've read is: TASP sends letters out to people with good scores, but it doesn't necessarily mean you have a better chance of gaining admission to the program. Rather, they do it to alert people who might not know of TASP.</p>
<p>It's a good thing, though.</p>
<p>My dd made 237 on PSAT and got an invite to apply to TASP. I do think it's from her PSAT score. A few days prior she got a brochure from the Army - so who knows!</p>
<p>My S got a TASP invitation also. </p>
<p>Question: Is the program for those who have completed Junior year? or entering? It's not clear from the web site, but I would hope they send invitations to those who are eligible!</p>
<p>squelchy--Thank you!</p>
<p>I didn't know about this until coming on CC! (like many other things...haha)</p>
<p>I havent gotten PSAT scores back either.
I guess I didn't score as high as some of you guys since I haven't gotten a TASP invitation..uh-oh?</p>
<p>i tried to go to the collegeboard site that said it would mail me the PSAT results but i kept on getting errors</p>
<p>hahaha i did get a TASP invitation tho.</p>
<p>It's funny...TASP is PSAT backwards</p>
<p>lol I haven't received my PSAT score yet, but I received an invitation to TASP. I'm hoping that means I did well on the PSAT. Or maybe my mom just requested the brochure thing from TASP since I was telling her about it a while ago...</p>
<p>I got a 240 on the PSAT and received a letter from TASP telling me how to apply. A friend got a 213(99th percentile) but was not sent a letter.</p>
<p>^That made me feel better! As long as I get 210ish...</p>
<p>Daughter got the TASP invite to apply also with a 211 psat.</p>
<p>I found out a week ago that I got a 236 on the PSAT, and I checked through my "spam mail" pile and noticed that, yes, I had an invite to this TASP thing. I didn't know it was prestigious -- should I try to get involved with it? I thought it might be just another scam.</p>

<p>It's not a scam - for one thing, attending is free.</p>
<p>That being said, since it's a pretty prestigious [and from what I've heard from people who've gone there, incredible] experience, admissions are pretty tough.</p>
<p>For the people who got invitations - don't get too confident. Test scores, I believe, don't play much, if any, role in admittance to TASP. Rather, they send out those invitations to make the program known to presumably smart kids who otherwise wouldn't know about it.</p>
<p>In summation: it's definitely something worth going to, if you can.</p>
