Tasp 2007

<p>Summer away at Hogwarts…zomg. I would do that in a seeeeeecond.</p>

<p>A week from tomorrow is March 5! I’m.so.scared.</p>

<p>SERIOUSLY?</p>

<p>ONE WEEK AHHHHH.</p>

<p>Hey, assuming I get an interview (which I won’t), when will it be? Late March? Early April?</p>

<p>And yes, banning chocolate was a silly resolution. But I decided that I have no willpower. So I have to practice using willpower. I LOVE chocolate, so it’s definitely one of the most difficult things for me to give up. Yeah, I’m hoping practice makes perfect :smiley: LOL When this year is over…January 1, 2008 I’m going to GORGE on chocolate. Eat like 5000 calories of pure chocolate that day :D</p>

<p>Should we bribe our interviewers with chocolate? hehehe…</p>

<p>Is there a protocal for courtesy gifts? I feel like I should always give my interviewers (school, program, sports, whatever) a little gift for their time.</p>

<p>i think we should wait until the interview notifications come out before we start worrying about that, lol.</p>

<p>Lol. Wait what if the interviewer is lactose-intolerant and I give her chocolate. What if she dies at my courtesy.</p>

<p>Damn being nice sucks. '</p>

<p>Come on we need 14 pages worth of posts in the next week to reach out unofficial goal.</p>

<p>lol let’s get to 100 pgs before friday! whoo! yay! <em>rallies for the cause</em></p>

<p>We already have 100 pages, yanners; I think you mean a whopping 200 peeps! Let’s have a post party tonight!</p>

<p>lol. I love orange soda.</p>

<p>What a non-sequitur</p>

<p>God, I’m eventually going to have SO MANY posts to read.</p>

<p>Why are you mad at me, Corey?!</p>

<p>Oh. The AIM thing?</p>

<p>My AIM connection decided to commit seppuku.</p>

<p>I see.</p>

<p>You dont have to justify the fact that you love Nacho Libre more than me. Its cool, I wish I could be that cool and wear spandex too.</p>

<p>RANDOM POST!!! HOORRRAY YAY! (contributing to the cause)</p>

<p>It’s going to be so heartwrenching in a week when I won’t have the guts to post on this thread anymore.</p>

<p>Oh, are we post-partying?</p>

<p>Okay. Post.</p>

<p>lol.
Knock Knock</p>

<p>Who’s there?</p>

<p>The interupting cow.</p>

MOO</p>

<p>THE MAIL-PERSON WITH MY REJECTION LETTER!</p>

<p>"Dear Uber,</p>

<p>We have now finished over 2100 applications for the 86 places in this year’s Summer Programs. I am sorry to inform you that your application was not one of those selected for interview.</p>

<p>I regret that we cannot send each of you a personal letter outlining the reasons for our decision. As you probably realize, competition for places in the Summer Program is extraordinarily intense. Only highly qualified students, yourself among them, are invited to apply, and from those who do apply, we can select only a small number to interview. As a result, choosing finalists is invariably difficult. For that reason, we are unable to provide a detailed analysis of your application either by mail or telephone.</p>

<p>The Telluride application is as comprehensive as any you will encounter when applying to college. I hope that completing it has helped you to clarify your personal and educational goals.</p>

<p>Thank you for the effort and thought you invested in applying. We wish you the best for the future.</p>

<p>Sincerely,</p>

<p>Ellen Baer
Administrative Director"</p>

<p>Giantred beat me to the punch… darn</p>

<p>UBER YOU SCARED ME TO DEATH THERE.</p>

<p>Please, I almost had a heart attack. Please do not scare me like that again. Please, I beg you.</p>

<p>^ why? I read the message and was all hopeful because I didn’t get a letter.</p>

<p>haha. way to dash away my hopes and dreams.</p>
