@IneffableMaestro bump? Congrats on getting an interview btw!
@nocando123 you’d be surprised! There are TASP alumni almost everywhere. If there isn’t an interviewer within an hour or so of you then you’ll likely have a skype or phone interview
@1harvardhopeful 1) I would check and see if a teacher keeps copies of your essays etc, but that’s something you need to resolve asap.
AND 2) @ anyone nervous about interviews. My understanding is that interviews are meant to see your intellectual and social vibe outside of your essays and to see how you’d fit into TASP. Personally, my interview was very laid back and fun. It focused on the themes and ideas from my essays and it was actually really flattering/fun to have a conversation with someone who had preformed like a close reading on my work and wanted to know more about my opinions. Some of my friends had interviews with 3 alumni and were very intense. Others had skype interviews or interviews over the phone. So not to be cliche, but it’s there for you and you should be yourself!
I know it’s very hippy and idk like bullshitty sounding, but Telluride is one of those programs that I strongly believe if you belong there, you will more than likely end up there. So don’t worry about it! And for the record, if you didn’t get in–it’s no great loss: you have 6 weeks to do whatever you want.
@CarepDeim12 Awesome, thank you!
Has anyone else still not received an email yet?
So have domestic applicants received emails yet? I still haven’t gotten one.
No domestic email here yet!
Check your “Promotions” folder. That’s where it came for me. (Or just look through all mail.)
@tonystarkofwinterfell
You were right! It was in my Promotions. Rejected as expected, especially since I am definitely not a humanities person. Best of luck to the rest of you!
Anyone been contacted yet?
For those of you who got rejected, can you please post in here when you get your rejection letter? I’ve heard them make mistakes in the past where they accidentally reject someone via email that was supposed to get an interview, so the people never get an interview and then they work it out with the Telluride Association
Where did you hear that?
Well I don’t know what to do. I had so many plans for this summer cuz I didn’t think I could be a finalist for TASP and I am one now. So everything is sort of in the air.
Been contacted for my interview! Good luck to all. I hope that with or without TASP, we will have a rewarding summer!
@nullisecunda Nice 
Hope you have an enjoyable interview! Still getting everything together here.
just got contacted for the interview but havent recieved the email with the timings yet… should i be worried?
lol i keep on getting scared that they will change their minds midway and not contact me at all because they dont think i should be a finallist now…
also i was super awkward when they called me because im HORRIBLE on the phone
can someone please explain this to me? im actually really worried because after the phone call i did not get the email from the interviewer as she said she would… is this normal? its been a week… when will i get it to confirm the timings etc?
Don’t worry about it! My interviewer called to say he’d send an email the next day; I didn’t get his email until a week following that interaction. I got his email yesterday, but we still have not confirmed our time and location. Their reports aren’t due until the end of April though, so don’t stress too much.
Hey everyone! I just had my interview (via Skype because of my location). I’m not gonna divulge exactly what happened just to keep an even playing field (I hope you understand) but if you have general questions about it feel free to ask away.
