<p>Should quotes from the book be included in the literary analysis as evidence?</p>
<p>@wagsthedog, i included a few quotes where i thought they were necessary. I didn’t think this was a problem, but if any former TASPer’s have any input, that would be awesome.</p>
<p>Thanks, wombatsoup and Keilexandra! -big thumbs up-</p>
<p>Industrial, that is fine, of course.</p>
<p>For essay #5, do we have to have a “concern” for every (or even any) seminar? What do they mean by concerns?</p>
<p>Edit: And is it okay to discuss the location of the seminar for both attractions and concerns?</p>
<p>back lulz. Just wondering, are all of you done or almost done with your essays? I’ve got 1.5/4 done, but I don’t really like the .5 so far. </p>
<p>For embeezy/wombatsoup or others, what is Step 5 of the online application process? Just submitting, or more work?</p>
<p>Step 5? I don’t remember what the application setup was, but if that’s the page after the essays, I believe it’s just the signature/submit section.</p>
<p>just wondering, how many tassers usually get into tasp?</p>
<p>Approximately 65 of 1000 applicants.</p>
<p>I’m writing two very formal essays and two informal essays. Is that okay?</p>
<p>zzxjoan, that rate is from last year, and it’s also the total acceptance rate, not that of the TASS contingent. Cagedbird was asking how many people applying from the Sophomore Seminar are accepted to TASP. This year, TA will accept 50 students to the three seminars (they cut the Michigan branch), but I’m not sure what the TASSer acceptance rate is. Two people in my TASP attended TASS, but I don’t think UMich had any, and I’m not sure about Cornell.</p>
<p>I’ve gotten 0/5 done, lol.</p>
<p>Would it hurt my chances of getting in if all of my essays were around the 800-1100 word mark rather than 1500 words?</p>
<p>I’ve got 1.5/5 “done”, but “done” as in written in prose form. still have to proofread/edit!</p>
<p>Ha, yeah…I’m definitely 1.5/5 done also.</p>
<p>On an unrelated note, do you think my sister and I should make an effort to write about completely different topics? I think as long as we don’t look at each other’s essays, any similarities won’t be an issue.</p>
<p>Woah, are you guys twins?</p>
<p>Yesh, but we’re fraternal.</p>
<p>if your book is kinda obscure, will the essay readers read the book before reading the literary analysis essay? cuz im not sure how much summary i need to include.</p>
<p>lol cagedbird i was wondering the same thing. what if TASP hasn’t read your book before?</p>
<p>They will certainly NOT read your book before reading the analysis. No reader has that kind of time.</p>
<p>Just provide enough summary that your points are understandable. Don’t expect the reader to have read the book before, especially if it is obscure.</p>
