Telluride Association Summer Programs (TASP) 2016

1st Cornell I
2nd Cornell II

Those seem to be pretty popular choices lol

I submitted six poetry submissions to Scholastic. Hopefully I get something; my true goal is to get nominated for the NSPP, but it’s a long shot.

does anyone know if the interview is over the phone or through something like skype? will people who didn’t get in be contacted regardless with an email of rejection?

I got an honorable mention for a personal narrative! Only one award but I’m satisfied for a first entry.

Congrats @bsdsj22
I sorta feel sad that I missed out on such an opportunity to showcase my writing. I didn’t learn about this competition until a week after the deadline :confused:

I got several silver keys for writing but alas, no awards at all for art. LOL

haha i made the thread, and i ended up realizing that tasp is just not for me! i’m more of a science person myself :stuck_out_tongue: still, good luck everyone!! i hope you guys all enjoy your summer regardless :slight_smile:

Has anyone else been having sudden realizations about things they forgot to list on their TASP application?

I finally found my kindle yesterday (after my little sister stole it), and when I turned it on, it had all these fantasy books that I love so dearly. Of course, I had somehow forgotten about them in the mad rush to finish my application in those last seconds.

Oh well, at least I learned a valuable lesson in case I have to fill out any book lists for my college apps. :slight_smile:

Side Note: If any of y’all enjoy fantasy, I would recommend the Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson. Those books are incredible!

I really wish i could have placed The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas on my list, but unfortunately I had no room for it. I’ll live with my decision, and I am content with my list as is to best represent myself

Waiting anxiously… @-)

i thought my essays were really good when i submitted but i was reading over them today just cringing because they are so not… the waiting is making me crazy

I haven’t even had a second look at my essays because I’d probably start crying out of terror.

Well now that the deadline has passed, anyone wanna share essays with me? I know it won’t help but it just gives me some fulfillment to read someone else’s work and have my own work read. PM me if interested

@CanisMajor

I can trade :stuck_out_tongue:

I haven’t looked at my essays since I submitted tho XD

Btw less than one month!

omg I reread my essays and I seem so pretentious XD

@CanisMajor I’d love to trade essays! I’ll PM you in a minute

I can trade too :D, anyone PM me if interested

Hope I’m not too late but am willing to trade as well :slight_smile: PM

Same here

Don’t think I’ll be able to go to tasp cuz of scheduling conflicts:(
