So wait is it all right if my second essay is not a complete reversal of opinion and is a strengthening instead? I have options for both, but I think I can make a better essay of the strengthening topic.
@Soccer1235 Given that there’s only a day until it’s due, I’d stay stick with it and polish it up. (Unless you have a ton of time between today and 11:59 tomorrow evening…)
Lol I haven’t actually started that second essay…RIP
Just submitted my application!!! AGH
How long are y’all’s ‘very brief’ descriptions for the list essays? Two sentences?
Mine is about a paragraph.
Thanks for all of your guys’ advice on the whole campus thing! I actually really like the myth course at Cornell.
@pielovereternal I’ve only done a few but yeah I have 2-3 sentences each.
@pielovereternal go as brief or comprehensive as you feel is needed to explain why you like that book/movie/other media. Personally, I wrote one sentence each and covered 11 different works from several different media. For example, “Harry Potter was helpful” is probably not a good explanation while “Harry Potter was my mini-refuge when I needed a reminder that true friends love you unconditionally.” would be a better explanation of what the work means to you.
that feeling when you create a CC account at 1 AM in order to procrastinate writing essay number 2 lol
I’ve been stalking this page a lot recently, and I’d just like to wish all of you good luck!! No matter the outcome, our collective stress and freaking out at the exact same time, transcending countries and time zones, has been a truly sweet bonding experience, guys. Warmest wishes to you all xx
Is there any former TASPers who are willing to look at my essays…I need help…
I just hope that my general adorableness comes through in my essays
I have to finish essay 2 and begin 1 
but I WILL GET IT DONE
@fincherfan that made me smile so much u r so sweet!!! <3
I need to revise essay 2, finish most of 3, and begin 1 haha I really shouldn’t have put this off, I’m actually really enjoying writing my essays. We can do this guys!
It would be so cool if we all make it and identify ourselves at the camp, kinda like “are you @…?? I’m @///!”
@peaceprincess good luck with essay 1!! that was my fav to write tbh. essay 2 is the killer one for me haha
okay yes guys we CAN and we WILL get these done
@Rookieh Ok thanks! I realized that I spend more time explaining what the book/art/activity is rather than what it means to me. Will fix 
Does anyone know if all the essays will be read by one grader?
@dreamsofbrown Each application is evaluated by two or more of our trained readers, most of whom are current college students who have participated in Telluride programs-TA
@blackdog23 So if I have some background info in one essay that is also relevant to understanding another essay, would it be considered redundant if I include it in both essays?
