<p>I was rejected from TASP last year, put my heart and soul into my essays - turns out UChicago actually appreciated that - thanks for encouraging everyone Nilly - you are the man!</p>
<p>Bump. I know rejections are coming out about now.</p>
<p>I want to reach as many people as possible.</p>
<p>Very well said.</p>
<p>Can a mod sticky this?</p>
<p>I don’t know. Let me see if I can get a mod.</p>

Don’t know if there are any Sherlock fans here, but as John would say, “Fantastic!”</p>
<p>Old thread, but… my kid was rejected from TASP and a couple of other prestigious programs, and got into U of Chicago, Swarthmore, and Harvey Mudd the next year. However, I do recommend that just like you apply to safety colleges, consider finding a safety summer program or two as well. It sure doesn’t hurt to do something productive in the summer, even if it isn’t a tippy top summer program.</p>
<p>Ditto, this post is awesome and deserves to be bumped up again. I’m only a sophomore (college is still a few years away), but I’m applying to PROMYS, HCSSiM, and a few other highly-selective summer programs. I really really like math, but I’m in no way a genius and I’m pretty much bracing myself for rejection, even though I really hope I get accepted.</p>
<p>But if I don’t, it’s not the end of the world. I can spend my summer doing lab work and practicing for an audition for a youth orchestra. While PROMYS would be amazing, being rejected doesn’t mean I’m a failure and doesn’t mean I won’t get into college.</p>
<p>Thank you for this post.</p>
