Telluride Association Summer Program (TASP) 2012

<p>HUNGER GAMES REFERENCES!</p>

<p>@pepperocini: I got my responses off their website but I don’t quite remember how. If you look back through this thread, however, you will find the post in which I asked and the post that answered my question.</p>

<p>Hey Pepperoncini, I hadn’t saved my final drafts, since like a lot of others here I was making changes right up to the last minute. I sent them an email asking for my essays and they replied the next day with a PDF of my entire application. Ask and you shall receive.</p>

<p>you can also log into your TASP account here: <a href=“https://www.applyweb.com/apply/corntell/[/url]”>https://www.applyweb.com/apply/corntell/&lt;/a&gt;
it should lead you to you application.</p>

<p>When going over my application (for the millionth time. Terrible habit, I know.) I realized that I check the box marking “telephone” as the best way to reach me. Now I’m quite nervous, as I really should’ve put “email”. Is it worth is to contact them asking to change it or should I just let it be?</p>

<p>i too am loving the hunger games reference. i’m currently completely obsessed with the books. TEAM PEETA <3</p>

<p>It’s strangely comforting to know I’m not the only one thinking about the approaching interview notification. My gosh, just imagine how agonizing the college acceptance wait will be. On another note, I finished Mockingjay about 2 weeks ago and literally stared at the last page for a good minute. It got me super-obsessed with dystopian novels. I’ve already gone through the ones everyone has raved about: Shatter Me, Wiher, The Clockwork Angel, etc. haha so strange that we’re all as obsessed with dystopian reading as we are about interview results</p>

<p>As for dystopian books… THE FOREST OF HANDS AND TEETH = <3</p>

<p>Interview notifications have come out the first Wednesday of March for the past few years, so we can probably expect ours around the 7th, if they’re keeping with that timeline.</p>

<p>As for dystopian novels- The Hungry City Chronicles! More steampunk than future dystopia but so awesome all the same.</p>

<p>Wow; so soon. :O</p>

<p>i’m more of a utopian novels kind of person - you guys ever read the “redwall” series? ahahaha so many great memories of waiting for the latest installment at our local public library</p>

<p>I reviewed my application for the first time since submission, found a typo, and cursed the God that allowed it to happen. (it vs. its)</p>

<p>:(</p>

<p>@YoSoyBean</p>

<p>Hahaha Redwall… those were the best! (Ah, the days of yore… elementary/middle school)
Which was your favorite? I always loved Rakkety Tam the best. :)</p>

<p>rakkety tam? yes! i also always liked the long patrol (russano the wise was probably my favorite character), and i always had a soft spot for loamhedge</p>

<p>Not to freak anyone out, but I stalked the threads from the past few years and the interview notifications seem to always come out in the general area of March 1-3. That’s 5 days away. And also slightly terrifying.</p>

<p>officially freaked out man, OFFICIALLY FREAKED OUT.</p>

<p>Omg so soon D: I’m not ready to face rejection… Lol</p>

<p>I’m not good with rejection. Especially so close to the SATs and my school’s spring musical. :(</p>

<p>well, my summer will soon be easier to plan…</p>

<p>I really hope I get in… )= I need something amazing to do this summer.</p>

<p>^So do I. </p>

<p>I’ve only been able to do one summer activity in before (Fresh/Soph Summer)… and that was because it was free. Summer programs = too expensive for us. :(</p>

<p>I know I shouldn’t get myself down about the chances… but I am. But hey! Anything’s possible. The other program I got into (name withheld) had, from what I understand, a lower acceptance rate. <10 out of thousands. So maybe I could make it into TASP as well! … <em>doubtful</em></p>

<p>It sounds like such an amazing opportunity; I would die to get the chance to participate. Even an interview would make me cry.</p>
