TASP 2018

Does anyone know where we are sending the health forms to? Thanks.

@Debosky i think were sending them back to the Cornell office but I would call them just to make sure

Ok thanks

I’m actually a rising Junior so I will be applying next year. I have two questions. How much do PSAT scores matter? I will be studying over the summer for the ACT and I will take it in September? Should I also study to do well on the PSAT?

Also, my guidance counselor said that TASP is just for minorities? She’s usually right, but I’m kind of doubting her. Is that true?

They do not require any PSAT scores, so just the ACT is fine. TASP is not only for minorities. They seek a diverse group of students each year, so there are usually people coming from all different backgrounds with different experiences.

@cc112358 it is true that the diversity factor can make or break your admission but of course that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try— but then again the application is extremely time-consuming — so it’s a personal choice

I don’t even remember submitting any test scores in the TASP application, so I doubt it matters. TASP isn’t looking for people who look good on their transcripts. They’re going to be looking at your essays and your interview to determine whether or not you have a place in TASP.

Anyone going to the Cornell II program??

I might be!! Facing Fictions??
