<p>Tasp seems really awesome and amazing but I'm a sophomore now so obviously I can't go this summer. So, I wanted to know if it would be worth it to try to go to TASS. How similar are the programs, do they have similar goals? What is the admission rate?</p>
<p>TASS is geared towards under-represented minorities, mainly African-Americans but anyone can apply. Although it may not be considered as rigorous as TASP, I heard the experience is well worth it and you meet wonderful people. And I'm sure it's considered when you apply to TASP. I don't think it's as difficult to get in as TASP is so go for it.</p>
