Telluride Association Summer Program (TASP) 2012

<p>If there’s any chance, I’d email them with your entire application now. Not just a “the form glitched, can I send it?” kind of thing. I don’t know if they’d be cool with it, but it makes your story more believable that you did have everything completed and aren’t just contacting after the fact from not finishing, if that makes sense. :)</p>

<p>They did warn about not waiting due to tech issues, though. =/</p>

<p>Does anyone else feel not so confident about their essays? My dad wouldn’t let me work on them today so I submitted my application even though I know they’re shiiit.</p>

<p>-_____- Alright, I feel like I could just die in the next couple seconds. I think I can almost positively absolutely say that I will not be accepted. Maybe they’ll look past Essay 5. No chance, I’m dead.
Now I get to spend the next couple months building upon this little tiny thread of hope that I could get in, only to be crushed by it(like a bug) when and if I get rejected.
This just gets better and better.</p>

<p>Suuuch an adrenaline rush. Submitted with ~30 minutes to spare, which I spent pouring over my essays to catch any typos. I wish I had spent more time with my critical analysis- I feel like it was a bit sloppy :frowning: </p>

<p>I’d love to trade essays with someone! Drop me a line and we can switch!</p>

<p>Status: Data sent - pending confirmation… </p>

<p>Am I just being paranoid? ;)</p>

<p>Okay, never mind. I found out I literally had seconds to spare. LOL THANK GOODNESS FOR EARLY CLOCKS. Procrastinators’ best friend.</p>

<p>Congrats, guys! I agree, most intense experience ever. Well said. The TASPplication did actually make me pour out some deep stuff I wouldn’t have written if not for this. I felt pretty alive when my mind was raging to crap out some intelligent stuff with no time for even a spare breath.</p>

<p>Aww, good luck with the email! Geesh, that’s got to be the worst thing ever. I’m just thankful the site didn’t crash.</p>

<p>…my hands are shaking, guys.</p>

<p>@PhoenixxTears: That’s what mine says too and I spent mine with a good 25 minutes to spare so I think you’re fine!</p>

<p>Doing the entire application the day it’s due,
having midterms and exams all week,
and taking the SAT on no sleep at the end of the week.</p>

<p>Hey guys, I sent mine in about 30 minutes ago :)</p>

<p>@emmx15: haha, thank goodness. I was just like… wait it didn’t sent through? Yay, paranoia.</p>

<p>@ARobins: Story of my life. Yay us!</p>

<p>I’m evil, I know it, but it’s slightly consoling that at least a good portion of the applications to TASP are probably rush-made and thus might be of lower quality. It means I have some fact to encourage myself until reality comes knocking…
Of course, I finished with an uncomfy amount of time left, too.</p>

<p>I wonder what percent of TASP candidates finished their essays tonight?</p>

<p>Do you want to read a crappy critical analysis written in a rush 50 minutes ago? Probs not, but I want to read yours, so message meeeeeee</p>

<p>How do I share my essays with someone…?
The message is too long.
Sorry, guys. Never used this site before.</p>

<p>(repeat: Send me yours and i’ll send you mine)</p>

<p>(click on a guy’s username and prrss send message on his profile. Copy and paste.)</p>

<p>oops, first typo sighted in rereading</p>

<p>I feel like my essays were kind of BS, even though I wasn’t BSing them…gah.</p>

<p>My critical analysis was spot on, I think. Then my conflict was pretty good, because I took a topic that could be cliche and put a spin on it that I think reflects my growth.</p>

<p>Education was like a laundry list. Bah. Oh well, it was alright for writing it in 20 minutes. </p>

<p>My issue essay was quite pathetic. I forgot about it until now. :(</p>

<p>Choice essay was just basic; I feel like as long as you showed your interests it didn’t really matter the length/style of writing.</p>

<p>I had a good book list and a periodical. </p>

<p>I don’t know. Here’s hoping…</p>

<p>@YoSoyBean: Same here. It’s out of our hands now, but I think they’ll understand if there’s a typo or two.</p>

<p>Oh, man. I just missed the submission deadline by 33 seconds because my internet failed me. My application went through, but I’m positive that it will be rejected once the TA sees the timestamp.</p>

<p>I am such a failure, rofl. Hopefully, next time I don’t procrastinate so effectively. > n></p>

<p>Does anyone want to read my conflict essay? Just curious if it’s too emotional or too bland. :)</p>

<p>I turned mine in…but it got in late, 12:01 AM! I never got any warning emails, not even one, from them, so I had no idea. Do you guys think they’ll accept it? I did send an email and even sent in my entire application with it in the email also, begging them to accept it. :’(</p>
