<p>Can anyone explain what TASP is? I am mostly interested in a summer science research type program.</p>
<p>Well first TASP is out of the question since you needed to have submitted your app a month ago. :-/</p>
<p>However if you are looking for science-y things, TASP wouldn’t have been the right program for you anyways. I would suggest RSI (but I believe that the app for that was due already as well) your best now is probably to do a summer session at a University.</p>
<p>It’s crazy that you need to start thinking about these summer programs in November, at least thats when most of the TASP applicants begun their application.</p>
<p>or you have people like me who find these things out halfway through january.</p>
<p>I go to a boarding school and it’s a bit hard for me to get outside transportation…do the tasp interviews have to be face-to-face? Or can they be over the phone?</p>
<p>I really have a faulty memory, and I’ve been losing out on sleep recently, so forgive me if this has been brought up before. </p>
<p>E-mail notifications were sent out the first week of March last year? Or when in March? Meaning we’re finding out part of the process relatively soon?</p>
<p><em>calculates how much time she has to anticipate/obsess/sporadically and frequently check e-mail</em></p>
<p>ekang, trust me if you live in the US in a some what civilized area you could get an actual interview. Your school or Telluride would be able to make accommodation’s to have it happen. you would want a personal interview, as I’m sure you would be at some disadvantage if you had a phone interview, obviously its not make or break but having that personal interaction is key. What boarding school you go to?</p>
<p>Aeshchina, last year they were sent out on March 3rd, so people are guessing Either the 2nd or the 5th(closest business days). So as in a week and half. o.O</p>
<p>GL y’all</p>
<p>Ekung, I go to boarding school too. I will probably just hop on the train to NYC (where I live) and do the interview there, then go back to school that evening or stay at my house.</p>
<p>I think I’ll retake the ACT (I’m already registered; school requirement) and for sure the SAT after some more math prep. If I can get the ACT up to 34 (I’m thinking fat chance with my math) I’ll probably stick with that, and if I can get my math grade up a bit I’ll break 2200, which is an acceptable score for Columbia (my top choice).</p>
<p>Oooh Columbia :D.
I just love New York City.</p>
<p>Where in NYC do you live? I had a brief tenure in Bushwick/Bed-Stuy over in Brooklyn. The grandma used to live there.</p>
<p>Last night I had a dream that Aida was my interviewer. It was pretty crazy, she took it an insult that I dressed up so nice, and said that Telluride was an expression of your true self and wearing what I was made me look boring, than she gave me a makeover. 
Pretty ridiculous.</p>
<p>I also had a drea that to save money my family took out all the tile in our house and sold it back, so the floors and the showers. Sort of strange.</p>
<p>I just got home from the AMC B. Ergh. Do you guys do the AMC and stuff?</p>
<p>Wait like the math test?</p>
<p>Yeah</p>
<p>10char</p>
<p>I did the AMC 12 this year.</p>
<p>Haha, in addition to answering the minimum amount of questions possible, I also seemed to have gotten one of them wrong.</p>
<p>they did that at our school last week. I havent heard of the “AMC B” They just have like AMC 12, 11, 10, 9. like grade level. I heard it is really challenging.</p>
<p>You do well?</p>
<p>What exactly is the AMC?</p>
<p>As I can’t get above 640 on the SAT math section no matter how hard I try, I doubt it will be relevant for me. But still, what is it?</p>
<p>american math competition, i think. i don’t know anything about it, besides that it’s a little impossible. i’m a math dunce too, lol.</p>
<p>yup, corey, that sounds right. next friday or the following monday. gah. we have a little over a week… T_T</p>
<p>GAH.</p>
<p>I’m going to be in Spain, <3ing the Alhambra, but still! I hope they send us emails with confirmation (cross those fingahs) in addition to the mail; that way I can find out and not discourage them with the slowness of my response.</p>
<p>Most ppl found out by the email before the mail. No worries.</p>
<p>I like how we are all math dunces :-P</p>
<p>except lauren. =)</p>
<p>when do you hear back about interview notifications, corey?</p>
<p>I e-mailed to ask about when interview notifications are being sent and this is the reply I got in return:</p>
<p>"We will send out letters to all applicants around March 5. You can also
call us then to find out whether or not you are getting interviewed.</p>

<p>the date is creeping up!</p>

<p>i’ll be dreading that day.</p>
