Telluride Assocation Summer Program (TASP) 2014

<p>It’s due tomorrow before midnight Pacific time.</p>

<p>“If mailing, applications must be postmarked by January 17, 2014. Applications submitted online are due a few days later on January 20, 2014. (The online application closes at 11:59 p.m. Eastern U.S. time.)”</p>

<p>Everyone has approximately 33 hours to finish their essays and apply. As a warning, there are further application questions dealing with personal and familial information that may take up to an hour and a half depending on how much you have thought about the answers and whether or not you experience technical difficulties. So waiting until 11:30 to submit your application is not a very good idea… </p>

<p>Additionally, anyone want to say any of their books or discussion topics for the first and second essays? It’s just so current and future applicants have a better idea of what people have done in the past.</p>

<p>So it’s due to 11:59 pm OF 20th?
whoa. what. a. relief.
30 hours looks incredibly fine to me, but actually I have finished only the list of the books.</p>

<p>How much should we talk in the “list your main areas of intellectual interest” bit of the application? Should we just make a list or elaborate more?</p>

<p>lol good luck</p>

<p>Would it be bad to have too many books on your list for #6? Like 23?</p>

<p>@tenebreuse I believe the FAQ says they just want a list, because it’s supposed to be something you’d elaborate on in the interview</p>

<p>Do you think it’s a problem if my essays have only 800 or so words? I know that’s a lot less than the maximum of 1500. What do you guys think?</p>

<p>@AcaDorkathlon I found that right after I posted, feel like a bit of an idiot now. Thanks for answering!</p>

<p>so I told myself that I’d get these done early and yet here I am the day before the app is due, freaking out.
yay =.=</p>

<p>^ same here, I planned to finish them on Friday and I’m a such a slow writer. -.-</p>

<p>also I am so sorry for saying Pacific, I should have double checked the time zone. D; i’d assumed that they would make it pacific so that it wouldn’t be earlier for some. feel like an idiot now.</p>

<p>Still don’t know what to write about for my conflict essay… >_<</p>

<p>Stupid question again, but is there a specific format for the book list? Should it just be “Title by Firstname Lastname” or what?
Also, I would be panicking right now if I weren’t exhausted -_- good luck everyone!</p>

<p>On the last essay >.< too tired rn</p>

<p>about 12 hours guys!</p>

<p>ahhhh haaahahahaahha have to write a critical analysis essay in, like, 8 hours
