<p>Holy cow! In my mailbox this afternoon was a lovely white envelope containing a TASP app.? Why did I get this? I scored fair on the PSAT, but no top 1%. Do they take the top scorers by state? Anyway, this appliation scares the poop out of me. All those blank lines and checkboxes, and a deadline of JANUARY 26? This is saddistic. Oh well. Fill in those lines and check those boxes I shall (all for naught, I'm afraid). Alas. Any advice for a poor country mouse with no clue as to what she's doing?</p>
<p>Well, it could've been that one of your teachers or counselors nominated you for the program as well.</p>
<p>I got one as well. It sounds like a wonderful program, but I really feel rather incompetent. Alas.</p>
<p>I suppose the envelope was really more of an off-white.</p>
<p>TASP makes me feel incompetent too. le sigh.</p>
