<p>i applied to the governor school of the arts (like taggart), but i doubt i'll get in. and tasp > governor's school.</p>
<p>mm...I received an app for RSI, so I might apply to that, maybe? And I also got something about Harvard SSP, so I'm probably applying there too (though it's uber expensive). Another reason to like TASP, for sure. :)</p>
<p>oh, and my book list was, imo, the weakest part of my application. i just haven't had the time to leisurely read much at all in the past few years. :(</p>
<p>I was thinking of applying to RSI, too. I'm really into science, so it sounded awesome.</p>
<p>Then I saw how you should have research experience. THEN I saw how they want at least a 75 in math on the PSAT. THEN I saw how if you didn't have that, you needed a combined 225 score.</p>
<p>THEN I said, "Forget that."</p>
<p>wow this thread is 150 pgs long..thats crazy.
anyway, TASP is def. my #1 choice but i also applied to nj scholar</p>
<p>you don't need prior research experience to get accepted into RSI</p>
<p>Well, you are right. But they "recommend" it. And I was reading about people who previously attended, and nearly all of the science kids had previous research experience.</p>
<p>So yeah...based on that (and the test scores), I am not even going to bother wasting my time with an application.</p>
<p>Going to Mathcamp Usa/Canada if I don't get into TASP...</p>
<p>BTW, for everyone out there: MATHCAMP is really an AMAZING program as well. If you're into Math/Science, definitely consider it if you don't get into TASP! (sorry, just really needed to rant about that for a couple secs!)</p>
<p>r u guys all aware that the due date for sending in ur application for TASP is already gone?</p>
<p>0re0 - yes.</p>
<p>we just hang around on the thread cuz we love each other :]</p>
<p>^^Are you aware that you haven't read a single post on that page?</p>
<p>(p45510n, you totally made me edit =P. CC moving my post onto a new page also made me edit.) </p>
<p>I also got mail from Harvard, Vanderbilt, and Stanford summer programs. Eh, those I'll apply for a bit later though, since they want money. RSI, I'm out. No friggin way I'd be accepted for that at all.</p>
<p>So yeah. I'm praying for TASP and Gov School -- well, if I prayed, anyhow.</p>
<p>I luckily didn't have to apply to anything else....</p>
<p>I was nominated for TASS the same week I got a letter asking me back to be a Junior Leader at Camp Dudley in Westport, NY (it pays too:-P)</p>
<p>Since I already have a position there I was able to work out a contingency plan with the admins at the camp.... So dependent on me getting in to TASS I will or will not be a leader.</p>
<p>Its a pretty awesome situation to be in. Amazing summer either way, however, TASS is definitely my first choice :-D</p>
<p>GL to every one</p>
<p>RSI? Dude. I read some of last year's final reports and I was blown away. It's definately a program out of my 69 on the math PSAT range. >_>;;</p>
<p>I'm starting to cast my "net of influence"... calling in favors and such. I'm hoping to get a page position at Columbia or an internship in the city if TASP falls through...both are total shots in the dark, though.</p>
<p>In the worst case scenario, I'll go work for the New York City Public Library. I did it last summer and it was hot. My other option is to get an apprenticeship with a New York jeweler.</p>
<p>I guess I might apply to the gov school, as long as apps aren't due yet? Do you guys see why I rrreeeeaaaallllllyyyy want TASP? lol</p>
<p>Erch, I want TASP soooooo badly too. It sounds absolutely fantastic. I dunno if I should bother applying for RSI. I meet their PSAT requirements, but I haven't had any research experience either, and I don't know how well I'd do at RSI, if I even got in, due to my blatant lack of...stuff. I'll take a look at the app, and try it if I think I have 1) time and 2) any chance at all. X_X</p>
<p>Haha you guys are awesome. It's nice how the TASP thread has become it's own (not so little) community. I agree with p45510n. Feel the loveeee. LoL.</p>
<p>Yeah seriously I wonder if this thread will still be active in like half a month. Probably. It'll probably start getting super tense by the end of February.</p>
<p>If I don't get into TASP, then I think I'm going to just take some community college classes. I could get some stuff over with so I can have an easier senior year. Or I could just do UC Berkeley Summer Session again...or UCLA. :/ I just want to go to TASP though. It'd be so awesome meeting all of you. Or at least some of you since there's 5 seminars.</p>
<p>Yea forgottenhawk and passion, it's starting to chill a little on the board, but we're still spreading the love. :D I love how TASP has made people bond already, even in the applicant stage. ^_^</p>
<p>taggart, i did read the posts on the last page though lol >.>
i was responding to oreo along with crimson haha</p>
<p>gl to all of you and your applications :]</p>
<p>Yeah man, it'll be so great because we already know, what, 20% of the people who will be getting in? Based on last year's amazing CC record?</p>
<p>That would be hot. Those getting in should form a little CC study group at each TASP and prank each other independantly of the main group. >D</p>
<p>wait, if we mailed in our apps, do we get confirmation emails?</p>
<p>i'm so anxious about this, what if my app got lost in the mail?!!?!</p>
