<p>sO i am filling out my application for tass and have a couple questions if anyone can answer them. 1 for books how many should i put. i've read many but do not really remember all the books i've read in the past year. more importantly for the essays do they want more formal essays or informal essays that get to know you as a person. \ also is it bad to veer a little off topic as long as you answer the question?</p>
<ol>
<li><p>As many books as you feel you have read. Don’t think you need to list a whole bunch; they’re just looking for a few that, perhaps if you get to the interview stage, you can be schooled on and whatnot. No biggie. </p></li>
<li><p>Informal’s the way to go. They want to know who you are. </p></li>
<li><p>No problem at all!</p></li>
</ol>
<p>And how come there’s no TASS thread? Would you like to create one arox?</p>
<p>hahah suree apps are almost do lol . r u also applying or have u gone b4</p>
<p>I’m actually a senior, and I attended TASP this past summer. I’m always up to mentor some TASSers. Sadly, I hadn’t heard of it before the apps were due, but I think it’s a fantastic program. I’ll probably apply to be a TASS tutor once I’m in college as well. But for the time being, if you need any assistance, feel free to PM me! </p>
<p>And create the thread!</p>
