Telluride Association Summer Program (TASP) 2013

<p>Yeah…looking at the statistics I’d feel lucky even to make it to the interview section. I’d really love so much to be a part of the Literature Takes On Moral Complexity seminar haha or any actually…well at the very least I have my college essays written. I doubt I could produce much better work than I did.</p>

<p>I just realized that I submitted my critical analysis essay with no citations…will that disqualify me? I think it’s obvious that all of the quotes are from the same text</p>

<p>^ oh i didnt have any page number either… :frowning: but i dont think thats big enough a problem to disqualify us… but anyway we should be careful next time …</p>

<p>^ and ^^
Lol, me neither.</p>

<p>Thank god I included them lol. I dont think its big enough of a problem for disqualification haha. What did you guy write about in your essays?</p>

<p>The form was successfully received if they confirmed it right???</p>

<p>@stringpaper: yep…if you got the confirmation email, then they received</p>

<p>You can follow the link in the original confirmation email just to make sure. I just checked and it says that my submission was successful. Yeah, I am going to avoid reading over my essays, because I know that they were awful. Also, I did in citations (Last Name, Page Number), but I totally forgot to put a full citation at the bottom… hope that doesn’t disqualify me…</p>

<p>This wait is already killing me guys…but my essays suck in all honesty…I just saw I forgot a period after a parenthetical citation, pretty sure that automatically disqualifies me. </p>

<p>I wonder if it’ll be bad that I don’t want to work in humanities…
Would the fact that I want to be an accountant ruin my chances?</p>

<p>I forgot about TASP after the application was opened and was reminded by others of it near the deadline…Finished those essays in one day and didn’t even read them again…They must looked awful (sigh…). But the application process was already a good one for me. :D</p>

<p>The wait is too long! I’m seriously going to forget about TASP then randomly see the rejection email in March lol</p>

<p>First post in CC, been browsing for about a year now, but made an account just to join in with TASP applicants. </p>

<p>GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL! :)</p>

<p>Oh, urgh, I keep looking over my TASP essays even though they really are so, so, terrible. I’m frustrated because even though I’m not an excellent writer, I can do better than I did.</p>

<p>The stress.</p>

<p>IS IT MARCH YET.</p>

<p>Wait – seventh essay? Was this required?! I submitted my app long ago…</p>

<p>@shinexalive: lololol…there was no seventh essay ( I was trolling). lol. Its funny how last years thread was at like page 100.</p>

<p>Hopefully that’s an indicator of how many people applied (less posts = less CC applicants = higher chance of getting accepted).</p>

<p>Just wondering, if anyone gets an interview but then gets rejected, are you guys going to put “TASP Finalist” on your college app? Haha</p>

<p>Maybe…idk yet. In reflection, how were your essays? What topics did you choose to write about?</p>

<p>my essays were incredibly bad. i wrote them all within 24 hours. but for #1 i analyzed a robert frost poem (stopping by the woods on a snowy evening) which was a bad idea since it was incredibly difficult to do well. #2 i wrote about how capital punishment is unnecessary/bad/etc. the rest were about my future in politics or economics and blah they all sucked</p>
