Any tips for applying to TASS 2020? Anyone else going thru the same process?

2

Hi @ll3ep4 , I’m also applying for TASS 2020. Have you started to write your essays yet? Also for any TASS alumni out there, how do you guys recommend structuring your essays?

3

Hey @kso428 and @ll3ep4 , I’m also applying. I haven’t even started and I have no idea what to write. How are you guys doing with the essays?

4

Tbh, my essays aren’t even essays. Just bullet points. I can’t believe this thread isn’t blowing up. Yo, guys, what are you doing for the “experience you regret” piece?

5

@blue1nk, for the “experience you regret” piece I’m just writing about an argument I had with a close friend and how we aren’t friends anymore. I have no idea what to write for any of the other essays and I’m so stressed out.

@purple356 Same here. So Imma just release AAAAGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Any one have any idea what to write for the first essay? The one about how we’ll contribute? I have like no clue. Plz help.

Good luck to all those applying! I too am applying this year and I had a quick question. For the ranking of the seminars, do we rank all four seminars or only the seminars of the college we would like to attend TASS at?

9

@SIDSAT I’m pretty sure you list them all, and then note which ones you can’t go to. Good luck!

10

Oh, okay! Thank you so much!

11

Hi y’all, I’m also applying to TASS. For the short answers: seminars, is the word limit 250 words overall or 250 words per each seminar (why you like that seminar)?

Thanks!

12

I think the 250 words is the overall amount.

13

I really wish good luck to everyone. I’m prob not getting in, since I’m submitting like crap but writing these essays is good practice I guess ¯_(ツ)_/¯.

Lord help me I’m screewwwed

14

Do we need titles for the essays? Also, there is not format(MLA or APA) that the essays need to be written in?

15

@Mishey500 Thank you! Also I think we don’t need titles or proper formatting (at least that’s how I interpreted it).

16

@AndoverKid257 Thanks! I finished my last essays so I will submit my application by tomorrow.

17

Ughh i’m also applying and these essays are so annoying!! but what did u guys do for the part b of the third essay? i just listed out in paragraph form what i would do but i’m pretty sure they’re looking for more than just that (i did more in my other essays but idk how to format it for this one)

18

yeah 3B was difficult and I couldn’t hit the 750 word limit :confused: I just wrote it in paragraph form too and tried to show as much of my personality in it as possible.

19

I’m applying… starting my essays now I don’t even bank on getting in but who knows! Good luck y’all!

20

Honestly, I’m at the stage where I don’t really care anymore…like I could edit my essays more but I’m just done, I’ll submit them even if they are bad :disappointed: but uhh good luck to everyone!! The deadline is v soon so don’t forget! :heart:
