Telluride Association Summer Programs (TASP) 2016

What kind of answers did you put for community activities for your parents?

Home stretch, guys!! Btw, do we write full sentences for the 2 lists?

I used full sentences.

It is due tomorrow, right? Just making sure; I might do some last minute editing tomorrow.

@drakonus Tomorrow, 11:59 EST

Submitted mine. Good luck to all! Remember that your essays do not need to be 1500 words. My maturity essay was 300 words and my teacher thought it was enough.

Just submitted my app! I hope everyone here gets in!

2 essays, 7 hours: here we go.

I don’t even have one essay done…I’ve decided not to apply. Good luck to everyone who is still applying!

actually screw it, might as well go for it and pray for the best lol…

eyy thats what i like to hear! good luck dude!

yessssss do it @jake071999

and good luck to everyone!!!

Former chair of the TASP Board here – sorry I just discovered this now, but I’ll be on the bulletin board later for the interview round. I just want to reiterate that the application is MUCH more about your attitude than about your achievements. The ideal candidate has intellectual fearlessness combined with the desire and capacity to learn from others, and I will tell you I have found those things in privileged boarding-school kids, and in kids from tiny Kansas farm towns, and everything in between. Best wishes, everyone, and I hope to be meeting some of you this spring.

@JennieMac could you explain how they read essays? like do they have one person read all of an applicant’s essays, do they split it up, or what?

Ugh about to start the third essay- you’d think the prompt is so weird for something like TASP

DOOOOONE! Submitted the app and filled with regret. Good luck to all applicants. I hope you all get in <3

submitted. (finally)
best of luck to everyone!!!

Good luck everybody :slight_smile:

Lol how long did most of you guys spend on your essays? I feel like everyone is starting last minute…

@jake071999 I started mine around Christmas, and am doing last minute edits right now…
