<p>I still haven’t been contacted yet either.</p>

422

<p>I wouldn’t worry too much about it though! I looked at the TASP 2013 forum and some people were contacted a lot later than others.</p>

423

<p>Any info on how the interviews panned out?</p>

424

<p>Been contacted for a Skype interview. Does anyone have experience with interviews that are not in person?</p>

425

<p>Hi, I’m brand new to CC so bear with me. I got called for an interview with House members at Cornell and I’m freaking out. How are people getting ready for this?? </p>

426

<p>@mikejoo I don’t think you can access them, unfortunately. </p>

427

<p>@PalmtopTiger
Yikes, a panel interview! Good luck. How close do you live to Cornell?</p>

428

<p>@PalmtopTiger and everyone else
i just found out how to view the application! you go to the applyweb website, link: <a href=“https://www.applyweb.com/apply/corntell/instruct.html”>https://www.applyweb.com/apply/corntell/instruct.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>and then you log in and view your application! </p>

<p>@fizzysoda wow amazing cant believe that there are so many Koreans who got in =) What school do u go to?</p>

430

<p>Do you guys think, for the teacher evaluation, it would be better to get one from the vp of the school who knows me for my EC’s or from a teacher I haven’t had but knows me from my EC’s. The teacher will probably be more flexible with what to write, but I don’t know if a letter from the VP will have more weight</p>

431

<p>Still no scheduling email, ugh I just want to do my interview before I get too nervous!</p>

432

<p>I’m interested in applying next year. Can someone give me an overview of what the application includes? I apologize if it has already been mentioned before. </p>

433

<p>Rejected……no hard feelings…worth a try.</p>

434

<p>I would love to hear more from anyone who got their interviews already!</p>

435

<p>@6alibah: the app includes a bunch of stuff, including school and personal information. the biggest/most important part of the app by far are the essays. there are technically 5 essay prompts, but i’d say only 4 of those are written like real essays. the prompts might vary slightly in wording from year to year, but they almost always include: a critical analysis of a book/film/poem/etc., a problem or topic of personal importance to you, a conflict you’ve experienced and how you resolved it, a discussion of your educational and career goals, and a list of books you’ve read both in and out of school during the year. here’s some more general info: <a href=“http://www.tellurideassociation.org/programs/high_school_students/tasp/tasp_apply.html”>http://www.tellurideassociation.org/programs/high_school_students/tasp/tasp_apply.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>also, i’ve been noticing a lot of stress both here and on tumblr about interviews. i just wanna let you guys know that you shouldn’t be toooo worried about not being contacted for an interview at this point! last year i wasn’t even contacted about my tass interview until late-ish april.</p>

436

<p>Thank you!</p>

437

<p>Silence… Any one had the interview…? :blush: </p>

438

<p>I have my interview tomorrow and I’m super nervous! I have two interviewers too, so I’m not sure how that’s going to work out…</p>

439

<p>How did it go?</p>

440

<p>Hey, I am new here! I am a finalist for the 2014 program, and I had a pretty pleasant interview today. :slight_smile: It will be fun to see how things turn out!</p>
