@dannydalt64 Oh thanks so much! It was super helpful!
Phew, I was freaking out since I haven’t been contacted yet, but luckily it looks like a lot of us are in the same boat. Good luck everyone!
Also @moonface How did they contact you for the interview? Was it by email? Did they call you?
Is anyone else thinking about reaching out to staff? I was going to do it by today if I hadn’t been contacted, but seeing how so many other people haven’t either I’m unsure now… should we wait until March 28th at least, since that’s the one month mark from the first email?
I’m thinking we should wait until March 28th, since that’s the one month mark? I’m glad that you’re considering reaching out to them, though, because I was afraid I was the only one they haven’t contacted yet (despite proof that a lot of us are in that boat). @philosophy.blue
through email @creativeWalrus
Do you guys know if there’s any way to make sure that they received my transcript? Did anyone get a confirmation email or something?
It’s March 28th guys! Congrats to those of you who have scheduled or done interviews, and for us who haven’t, I guess I’ll be sending an email tonight or tomorrow to make sure. The number of times I’ve checked my spam and trash to be certain it wasn’t in there…
@CreativeWalrus I never got a confirmation email
I’ll be reaching out to them as well! Good luck to you all.
@CreativeWalrus You don’t receive a confirmation email, but I called the Ithaca office to make sure they received all of my materials. They’re super helpful.
Wishing good luck to everyone who applied! 
Just got contacted by my interviewer! If you haven’t been contacted yet, don’t freak out, it looks like they’re still reaching out to finalists. Good luck everyone!
Hey, I’m a finalist from Michigan, and my interview is today. I’m high-key freaking out rn. I actually got contacted last week for my interview, and I’m looking for a little advice or words of encouragement.
Do you think you can share with us the type of interview questions that they asked you my interview is tomorrow… also don’t be nervous you got this u can do it (:
My interview was pretty laid back, I went to The TASS UMich building for my interview (pretty nice btw). My two interviewers were young and one was a student, but they were very nice and easy to talk to. The questions I got we’re based on what I had put down for the application, and they asked about which seminar I was interested in. There were some philosophical and hypothetical questions about your beliefs and on race, and how you react in group settings. Other than that just be yourself and react to questions the way you would, not the way you think they would want you to. Good luck, guys!!
How do we know if we are finalist for Michigan or Cornell? Is it base on which office we had to mail to?
@moonface I think it’s by what you put your preference as
But question, I wasn’t able to send my transcript until today because my counselor wasn’t here for the past two weeks, do you think they’ll hold that against me in any way?
You should email them about your situation. I was sending my papers and I totally forgot about my transcript and I sent it 2 days before March 30th. I was so nervous.
Did everyone for TASS 2018 already have their interview?, I loved my interviewer she was pretty chill and agreed with me on a lot of things ,although like two questions she had to go in depth on do you guys think that’s a problem?. I was so anxious to know how they determine if you’re going to get into the program I read that your grades aren’t really a big part of the program , but honestly I feel like I have a pretty high chance. Do anyone know when they will let us know when we got in ?how did you guys feel about your interview and how did it go.
I haven’t even been contacted in regards to my interview yet, and I’m super worried because it seems like everyone’s either been contacted or had their interview.
@phanakin don’t you think you should call in regards to your interview or some information
