<p>Hey guys im back on the boards after a long kind of break. Hows everyone doing and when are the interview names gonna be coming out?</p>
<p>***, so admission is solely based on essays?</p>
<p>Jason4444: Pretty much. If your essays are among the top 150 best, you'll be asked to an interview. And based on the interview, the seminar participants are selected.</p>
<p>man, i'm kinda worried :(
I want to get in, but I can't see myself as one of the 150 :P
Oh well, all I can do now is pray....</p>
<p>I'm feeling very zen right now (not to be confused with confident) about TASP.
I did my best.
It is out of my hands.
There is nothing I can do now to change my fate in either direction, positive or negative.
Ommmm.
Peace.</p>
<p>Dude, I love that attitude.</p>
<p>Man...I REALLY cannot see myself as one of the 150. But I need to go to summer school to knock off some graduation requirements, anyway, so maybe that's a blessing in disguise. </p>
<p><em>ommmmmmmmmmmm</em>
Ujai breathing, anyone? :)</p>
<p>Yeah, I totally understand what you mean-- if I don't get this (which does seem the likelier result), I'll be spending a few weeks in Chicago, which will basically either confirm or completely negate the college plans I have right now. It's a win-win either way, you know?</p>
<p>Actually, on the contrary to a lot of people here...I feel quite calm at waiting for admission decisions.</p>
<p>If I don't get in, the sun will still rise tomorrow. =)</p>
<p>(Probably because I've given up on TASP already...haha just kidding. tho I don't feel any pressure, strangely)</p>
<p>Am I the only one here who is fairly confident to be selected??? I'm not bragging or anything but I just don't see myself getting denied right off the bat since I spent so much time on those essays. Hmm, maybe I'm just underestimating the quality of the applicant pool...if anyone wants to read my essays, just PM me or hit me up on AIM(monster31989) and then you can all laugh at me collectively for being arrogant despite being intellectually worthless haha.</p>
<p>Anyway, all of you need to stop being so frickin' depressing!!! Oye have a little faith.;)</p>
<p>if you guys don't make it, what are ya'll going to do instead? any suggestions? preferably a free program, awesome interships or great summer school at colleges..</p>
<p>I don't have high hopes. The pessimists is always:</p>
<p>a. right </p>
<p>or</p>
<p>b. pleasantly surprised</p>
<p>I've accepted the fact of my rejection. Like RyanOG88, if I'm in, which is unlikely, I'll be pleasantly surprised--but if I'm not, I won't be disappointed.</p>
<p>Most likely, I'll spend my summer doing neuroscience research with a professor at Georgetown. :)</p>
<p>I'm relatively certain that I was rejected. Now it's simply a matter of collecting the rejection letter :).</p>
<p>How/when do they notify you of rejection/acceptance, anyway? Does anyone know (particularly of that first possibility lurking out there)?</p>
<p>Ahh, yes, I basically gave up on TASP the day after I submitted my application. Too bad though because out of all the summer programs I applied to, this was my #1 choice. I mean, you cannot beat what TASP has to offer with any program, even RSI.</p>
<p>Waiting to hear from CCIS, RSI, and MITES at this point. Personally, I would die of happiness if either CCIS or RSI accepted me. But of course, not as happy as I would be for TASP.</p>
<p>I've already dreamt four times of this lady with "TASP" tattooed on her forehead, who pointed to me and said "REJECTED."</p>
<p>I think its a sign. :o</p>
<p>Heh; dude, I've dreamed about my SATS and this weird thing happened and in my cereal, it read PSAT and then TASP and then REJECTION. I woke up in cold sweat</p>
<p>I'll be honest. The first time I thought about TASP since the application deadline was about two weeks later when I was cleaning out "My Documents" and found my TASP folder. </p>
<p>Dreaming about it? That's a little weird.</p>
<p>lol SourApplezz & kisstheskyxx! =]</p>
