TASS 2019

Anyone heard from TASS yet? I sent in all my accepted students forms but haven’t heard from them in a month

@strive345 Hey! I got an email from the COrnet NedID thing. Did you guys as well? I’m assuming you did, but just asking to ask- after activating it what do we do?

@SunnyBee123 no I haven’t gotten anything. Is there an email I’m supposed to email and get that from?

@strive345 I wouldn’t worry. I just got mine yesterday. I think you should get yours soon. They might just be doing them a few at a time.

@phanakin Hey I had a few questions. Do TASSers have access to a gym or anything like that? Also, are we supposed to bring any fancy clothes or something?

@strive345 I don’t know about the gym, but I’m assuming so… there may be one in the area though? But for fancy, I did hear someone mentioning to bring one or two fancy evening wear for parties.

@SunnyBee123 Ok thank you. Have you gotten a formal list of what to bring, because I haven’t.

@strive345: When we were there, we didn’t have access to a gym facility, but we did get to go to a pool once or twice. Do bring like one fancy outfit—your year might be different, but I overpacked on the fancy clothes and only used one outfit.

Hi @phanakin I’m applying to Tass 2020 this year, and I’m struggling with structuring my essays for my application. If you don’t mind could I take a look at your essays for reference? Thanks!

Hey @phanakin , it is interesting to hear that you have been in the TASS program as I am also applying to it this year. I have been working on my essays for a while now and would like to read your essays as a reference source. My email address is eshwar500@outlook.com. Thank you so much!

Hi @phanakin, I’m so glad that you had such a great time at TASS. I’m applying this year and I’m so nervous. If you don’t mind, can I take a look at your essays? My email is lilop012564@gmail.com. Thank you!

hey y’all, remember that what works for me might not be what works for you, and vice versa. the best advice i can give you is to be honest, open, and genuine. reading them over again, my essays are VERY messy and not the best indicator of my writing ability, but at the end of the day, I think they portrayed who I was well.

that being said, if you dropped your email I shared my essays with you!!! I hope it helps, but remember that it is YOUR voice that must shine through

Hi @phanakin, I am not what you’d consider an all rounder or, for that matter, a super awesome student. So, I am super nervous, to say the least. But from what I’ve read and heard, TASS seems to be where I want to be in summer 2020. If you don’t mind, can I take a look at your essays? My email is annuraju1212@gmail.com. Thank you!

Hi @phanakin, I’m applying to TASS 2020 this year, and reading through all your advice has been really helpful. If it’s possible, I’d love to take a look at your essays. My email is aanikaeragam@gmail.com. Thank you!
