TASP 2018

Which sessions are you guys most interested in?

Cornell 1!

Honestly all of them!

Do you guys know if the application due at 11:59 PM on January 16th, or 11:59 PM on January 15th? It sounds stupid, but I keep forgetting how these deadlines work.

Oh, also how many items are you guys putting on your lists of things? I was thinking of going up to the word limit, but not sure if that would just irritate the people checking. Is it supposed to be a super condensed list of things we like/ award and positions, etc?

on Jan 16th! the minute before jan 17th strikes!
@silverarrow15

i have a few primarly ec’s i’m putting in @silverarrow15 , mainly because they are the ones that i think are most important

So I am rewriting my 3rd essay for the 3rd time…

@cxnxicee Same here. Hope it’s the last time (probably not but one can hope)!
Watch for this forum on January 15th, when all the procrastinators like me come exploding out of the woodworks :slight_smile:

@Sougiya lol good luck to you!

starting the app this weekend… rip me

So, I wrote my third essay without looking at the word limit, and I’m 1000 words over… What should I do? Is the word limit super strict?

But also the application states that each essay should " be no more than 1,500 words (approximately 3 single-spaced pages or 9,000 characters) in length." Mine is substantially over the word limit, but is still under 3 single-spaced pages with a font of 12. What do you think??

I’m just now starting the app too lmao

@carrotchild Ahhh thank you!!!

@logosoverpathosm I wondered about that too!! I’m not sure what they mean to be honest

AHhhhh my thoughts about my essays keep swinging back and forth. Sometimes I’ll think “oh this is good” and sometimes I’ll think “how do I even English”

looks like all the procrastinators came out of their shells!! (including me :slight_smile: )

Well guys, it’s time to crank out the full application this weekend. I remember when the applications came out a few months ago and I was considering starting then. Oh well. Good luck everyone!

yes good luck to everyone!!

@logosoverpathosm the online form literally doesn’t accept over 9000 characters
