Im a finalist also!! Very excited email sent yesterday. Ive already completed two of four of supplements waiting on transcript and Rec. My choices in order of preference are Michigan II Cornell I, Michigan I, Cornell II
Question to other finalists: where do you find the supplementary materials page?
nevermind just found it after I posted haha
If anybody that went through this process happens to be reading this, what is the interview process like?
Hey, Is there any way that I can take a look on your essay for the TASS. I am a prospective applicant for next year!
Can you PM or I will put my email out there later. Thank you in advance!
@phanakin or anyone who made into the interview round! Thank you guys!
Congrats to all of you!!! TASS truly was one of the most transformative experiences of my life, and I wish you all the best of luck.
@spark21 Your interviewer will reach out to you (or they should—my interviewer accidentally got the wrong email for me, so had I not called in, I wouldn’t have had my interview at all!), and usually they try their best to arrange an in-person interview if possible, through an alumnus of a Telluride program or someone who works for Telluride who lives in your area. If not possible, they’ll do the interview over Skype, I believe.
It is an extremely casual process—I was very worried it was going to be cutthroat or at the very least brutal. My experience was very pleasant! I personally had it in my interviewer’s office (she was an assistant professor at the university), but others had it in cafes or libraries. My interviewer was very sweet and we had extremely good discussions. There are questions that Telluride requires to be asked in the interview, e.g. “Of the three pillars of Telluride (service, community, intellectual curiosity), which matters the most to you and why?” but otherwise the interview will be guided by questions the interviewer got from reading your essays.
@HSPYUC Shot you an email!
Has anyone interview been scheduled yet?
I’m a finalist too, and I was wondering if anyone was going to change their seminar preferences. I am torn between Michigan I and Michigan II
Has anyone had their interview yet? If the interview can’t be done in person (I’m international), do they do it over a video call or a phone call? Also do they schedule the call with you over email or do they just call you? I’ve had a US number leave me several missed calls in the middle of the night and I’m hoping that I haven’t accidentally missed the TASS interview because I was sleeping!
Congrats on becoming finalists, everyone! I’m also an international applicant but unfortunately I didn’t get in, so hopefully, I can try again for TASP next year! @hopefully21 Can I ask which country you’re applying from, if that’s not too much information?
Hey y’all I just joined this chat group or whatever this is lol and I’m a finalist as well! My interview is this Saturday and I’m absolutely torn on what to say. I’ve read that it’s based on your application which is good since I was completely genuine in all my answers but I just can’t seem to shake off my fear. Any tips for the interview??
@rysaaa I’m applying from India, and I did get an interview scheduled (finally) for next week. Only thing is, all the interview slots available are between 11:30pm and 4:30am in my time and I just know that I’ll be too sleepy to focus on the interview in the middle of the night 
I just had my interview today and honestly it went well and it was very casual but I don’t think I really impressed her, like she seemed really kind but I feel like I could have done better if only I had more energy, but that’s not an excuse. I’ll update you on my selection if it happens but as for now I got real low expectations.
@Ghanaangel congratulations!! If you think it went well, you shouldn’t have to worry
My interview is in like 9 hours or so and I’m soo nervous! Does anyone have any tips from previous years or anything for getting through interviews? When I’m nervous I tend to fumble over my words (English isn’t quite my first language) and I don’t want that to cost me my interview 
Well interview week is over! I took my interview the 7th, and I’m so nervous omg. I’m from New York by the way! 
Congrats to everyone who made it by the way! Hopefully we did well!
Has anyone gotten any word back from TASS?
@SunnyBee123 Someone from the TASP thread called the office and the woman on the phone stated that the office would receive final decisions on Monday, the 29th of April and decisions should go out as soon as possible after that. I would say either next Monday or Tuesday.
@imo2021 Omg i’m honestly so nervous trying not to be nervous but thats not helping- thanks for the word. Are you here for the TASS program as well?
