tasp interview tips

<p>I would try contacting him. Do you have an email address?</p>

<p>April 25?</p>

<p>Two weeks from Monday? </p>

<p>EESH</p>

<p>I don't have his email address. I ought to ask for it. Maybe he has the wrong contact information (I write very legibly though, so I don't see how that could happen... clerical error?).</p>

<p>Try looking him up online. Or, if you know he's affiliated with a university, you can look him up through their online directory. </p>

<p>If you can't find him, email his name to me and I can attempt to help.</p>

<p>just had my interview, i liked it, even though i was somewhat inconsistent (very good at cornering you those interviewwers) however they even said their were questions, they themselves couldn't answer. Interviewer said decisions come out May 2, its all good I can cry after I take my ap calc exam :)</p>

<p>I had my interview yesterday. I'm so glad it was a one-on-one discussion. I think I would've died if I was interviewed by a panel. It was not as stressing as I thought it was gonna be. I wish that I could've told her how badly I wanted to go to TASP though. I don't think she got a full sense of who I am. I walked away from the interview with a sad and empty feeling. I hope I didn't contradict myself too much.</p>

<p>One of my three interviewers didn't show up. We talked a lot about education systems and stuff, and I had a hard time with it because I was talking to a TFA Harvard grad and my education knowledge is based on what my mother has told me. Anyway, I think I made some good points, but I wish we could have talked about something I was passionate about. I know I contradicted myself once. Oh well.</p>

<p>gobias i also got that feeling of totally forgetting to let them know who I am, i really hope the telluride association which evaluates the final application and interview looks at my essay for a better view of my personality and goals. Also EVERYONE at least contradicted themselves once, I wasn't too surprised, but I was suprised at the fact they kept askign WHY, and when I was talking about gay marriage i said it might lead to things like three women getting married and one of the four said "what's wrong with that!?" i was like hahah, because society doesn't like it :) i hope it goes well..... i actually had an interviewer who wasn't even in tasp believe it or not</p>

<p>my interviewer wasnt in tasp either. she went to cornell and was at the telluride house there. shes going to be a factotum this year, apparently.</p>

<p>guys,
Just a reminder: for everyone's benefit, if you get in, could you please post it as soon as you find out? Just because for finalists they sent the happy letters a few days before the sad letters, and they might do that again, and I'd like to know a bit in advance of opening the fatal envelope...</p>

<p>thanks!! ;)</p>

<p>the tasp head said they will mail decisions out the weekend of april 30th</p>

<p>I hate the fact that half of us aren't gonna get in (probably me). </p>

<p>I'm really really nervous about decisions. I've been having a bad month and I hope that bad luck streak won't continue when I open my TASP letter.</p>

<p>Has anybody here applied to the Washington ST louis programme?</p>

<p>you dont apply to a certain program--you put down your order of preference and then they assign you to one of them.</p>

<p>So I called today for my decision, because my interviewer told me to, and becuase I need to tell Gov School whether I can come or not, and the woman was like "they are meeting next weekend, not this past weekend, sorry." </p>

<p>Whoops.</p>

<p>so i guess this is the weekend they meet...</p>

<p>out of curiosity, do you think that anyone could call the way you're planning on, richard, or is this something you've had pre-approved?</p>

<p>man, I am so nervous. I have this tendency of getting a yes and then a no. I just won this big writing contest yesterday, so I guess that means no for me! Unless I get my letter AFTER my IB Math test, which would be worse. If letters go out starting tomorrow then I might fail an international test and get rejected on the same day! Fun!</p>

<p>Be patient and do not call. I know it's tough, but wait at least until May 6 before making a call. </p>

<p>Everyone may know, one way or another, by unlucky Friday the 13th anyway!</p>

<p>I don't know. I didn't really explain my situation in full to the woman at Telluride, and she seemed pretty cool, and she told me to call back this Monday or Tuesday... so I'd say call. It's not too intrusive, and if they can't tell you, they can't tell you, no big deal. It's not going to change their decision. Just be polite, of course.</p>

<p>Friday the 13th in May is my prom. (haha and I haven't been having the greatest luck with prom either.)</p>

<p>Hopefully the letter comes in early, early May. Acceptances before rejections, right?</p>
