<p>The TAP website says that the deadline is May, but Vassar says all applicants (not necessarily accepted applicants) from NY must apply for TAP. Do I have to apply before admissions decisions?</p>
<p>I think you should apply now. When I did my TAP, however, it automatically put the first school that was on my list from my FASFA, and wouldn’t let me choose another school. So, I’m guessing the TAP is for when you know which school you’re enrolling with. And if you have the same case, TAP won’t send it to Vassar, because FASFA lists schools in alphabetical order. Just put in the app, wherever it sends let it send, and if you end up enrolling at Vassar, then have your TAP transferred there.</p>
