<p>My apologies, southeast. My directional ability is nothing like that of the spiny lobster and its utterly impressive migration. Do I appear salty? I'm sorry. I think I've come off as a jerk. Can I start over?</p>
<p>Hi. I mean no offense, I am merely a frightened hermit crab currently experiencing growing pains. Have any of you seen a larger shell?</p>
<p>lankydenny, i feel the same. but then i think, there's really no point in comparing yourself to others. and plus, we're not the ones making the decisions anyways, so i figure, just do your best and put your heart into those essays, and whatever happens happens. the chances are so slim and it makes me feel sad whenever i think about it. but this is one of the fairest admissions policies in the united states (think about it, no legacies, no recruited athletes, no quotas for development cases, none of that). whoever gets in will deserve it, and i will be very happy for any of you guys. </p>
<p>chin up. =)</p>
<p>and LMAO to that hermit crab comment.</p>
<p>haha Lanky I like your 'spunk' im the only jerk here. Aggressive to say the least :-/ trust me im quite on edge about my essays. i haven't looked at them but I think about them constantly :-/</p>
<p>Good luck to all who are working.</p>
<p>Salty is only a matter of opinion ;-) Some ppl like it salty others don't. Hmmm not very wise but W/e</p>
<p>:D</p>
<p>Yes, thanks roamorse. This board has helped me realize that others face the same predicaments I do about applying to GLORIOUS TASP. I think we should all keep in mind that CC is indeed a skewed population, and a majority of you will probably get an interview, and then get in.
Giantredlobster, as dauphin in this strange empire, you hold great power and influence. Please accept my deepest apologies for my asinine comments/accusations.</p>
<p>I'm bowing.</p>
<p>Also can we do this chat room thing again. Im quite upset that I missed it. </p>
<p>Lanky where is southeast from here. Like socal or arizona or farther</p>
<p>and he's just a sophomore! think about what he's going to be able to do next year. </p>
<p>knock'em dead, corey.</p>
<p>LOL don't bow to me. :-P</p>
<p>Im just a measly sophomore who is a wise-ass. I wield to authority, i just scare ppl :-(</p>
<p>Im like a care bear and my name is: 'Midnight emo bear' Referring to my TASS envelope licking photo.</p>
<p>Think rural. Think redneck. Think agricultural. Think cows.</p>
<p>Giantredlobster: Thanks so much for responding to my questions. </p>
<p>Stupid question: Under activities and interests, are they asking for the number of hours PER WEEK that we contribute for the activity or the TOTAL number of hours that we contribute so far? </p>
<p>I'm applying online and that section is bothering me.</p>
<p>per week</p>
<p>i did hours per week/weeks per year (but i made that clear)</p>
<p>so like </p>
<p>3/52</p>
<p>Avonlea:: per week</p>
<p>Lanky:: sounds like Ohio to me!!!</p>
<p>can we do a tasp chatroom AFTER tomorrow? because i'm scrambling to finish everything and given our chat was two hours last night... i may never finish my issues essay.</p>
<p>and aida, COME TO THE NEXT ONE. gah.</p>
<p>The fact that everyone is from the west coast makes this chat thing very difficult for people who are from, say, the east coast. Not even the east coast. Just those who go by eastern time. =[</p>
<p>TASPs brings people together even before the actual seminars</p>
<p>haha soso true!</p>
<p>MY FINAL POST BEFORE ACADEC STUDYTIME:
My rankings, as submitted to TASP!
1. Cornell II - I've heard Machiavelli can get you chicks.
2. Cornell I - Movies? l0l, h0p3 wE wAtCh do0ce biGALo!
3. UT Austin - I'm just not witty enough right now...
4. WashU - blah blah blah middle let me get to my punchline:
5. UMich - As a white male, I don't care about race relations in America... AS LONG AS I'M ON TOP!!!</p>
<p>Wow, what overzealous colon usage (hahaha). Wow, what offensive material. </p>
<p>'Night, all.</p>
<p>if we do another chat, I propose making it the 27th! Finals for most of us will be over, so will the SATs, and the online deadline will have passed. We will all have plenty of time to waste, lol.</p>
<p>Just out of curiosity, is anyone applying online?</p>
<p>If so, how did you guys indicate the title of books without underlining or italicizing it?</p>
<p>Inky:: that's a Saturday night!! With no finals, SATs, applications, no one should have an excuse to be home on a Saturday night!!</p>
<p>Let us not perpetuate the stereotype that smart kids have no lives! (True as it may be...)</p>
