With TASP not relying upon PSAT scores and transcripts any more in its initial screen, has the nature of the program changed? Clearly superior writing is still required for the essays, but the application’s emphasis seems to have shifted to 1st gen or disadvantaged students, plus those aging up from TASS the prior year. Just wondering if it justifies the time and effort required to apply if the focus has changed. There was a time when I saw TASP attendees in the applicant pool I interview but now I never do.
I guess I got my answer. It appears tenured faculty don’t teach TASP anymore.
