<p>The Committee won't forget about your essays after your interview. I honestly believe that I barely made the second round on the merits of one or two essays, but my interview went very well. If (very big if) you make it that far, don't assume that you have: a) no chance of being accepted or b) no chance of being rejected.</p>
<p>that kinda sucks...i fully expect to bomb the interview if i get that far. my social skills are beyond lacking especially in formal situations.</p>
<p>^^ aww, practice in front of a mirror or with your parents and friends. You can work on your interviewing skills.</p>
<p><em>nods</em> If you get to the interview round, have a ruthless teacher read your essays over and do a mock-interview beforehand so you can practice. Heck, send me your essays and I'LL do a mock interview over the phone with you!</p>
<p>musechick, did you go attend TASP last summer?</p>
<p>tasp sounds amazingggg... too bad there's no chance of my getting in :/</p>
<p>i will take you up on that offer, musechick, if i happen to make it that far. =/</p>
<p>hehe ^. is there a suggested/max length for these essays? ive already done 2 of them because i was bored.</p>
<p>you're insane...... and i think there suppose to be 1-2 pages single spaced, normally 1.5-2 pages. i'm probably gonna be one of those ppl that finishes at midnight the day they're due. go figure.</p>
<p>2 pages each? Now I can see why they carry so much weight.</p>
<p>they're*</p>
<p>yeah, but only four/six are 2 pages, one is a booklist and another one is ranking the seminars you want to go to.</p>
<p>its more insane that ive managed to write those 2 essays no problem, and yet i cant even start my english essay on the similarities of poe/hitchcock.... 3 weeks after they were due.</p>
<p>^^ hahahaha. That is extremely understandable. When you write the essays for TASP it's writing about what you like so its fun to write. However, writing for english class sucks, so you can procrastinate english while writing for TASP and not feel bad about it!</p>
<p>i had a literary analysis on one of cumming's poems last year that i didn't write until two months after it was due. handed it in last day of school. luckily, my teacher liked me.</p>
<p>haha thats pretty awsome. my english teacher last year might have done something like that but noone ever tried so who knows.</p>
<p>Indeed. I went to one of the Cornell TASPs. ^_^</p>
<p>Hey Miss SavageFlower, just TRY. You never know. :)</p>
<p>Sure, Roam. I'm here to help! YEAH! That was me!! In fact, I never submitted my critical analysis til' AFTER I got the interview. lmao. I'm a bad, bad peson.</p>
<p>The length depends. Think quality over quantity, though.</p>
<p>P.S. If you like interesting essay topics, check out UChicago's. They are INSANE! I wish I could submit a thousand essays for them. :D</p>
<p>AM, I <3 you. :[</p>
<p>Haha, I just realized that Cornell TASP had another AM. But I <3 him, as well.</p>
<p><3 <3 <3 MZ!</p>
<p>lmao. Psh. I'm the cooler AM. ;P</p>
<p>Wow, great link musechick! I'm definitely getting some ideas from those essay topics. :)</p>
