<p>I couldn’t stand it today. From the moment I woke up all through the day I was shaking with nerves. Moreso in the morning, but it really got to me by the end of the day. I called at lunch but they were not there and then again when I got home and same bit. Worst of all the only people I knew that heard (as of this morning) were giantredlobster and tako, so I really didn’t want to be the first one rejected. No offense to everyone who did get rejected, but I have to thank you for being open about it. It has made me feel a little better. (Wow I’m very selfish.)</p>
<p>I am still in absolute disbelief right now. The world is somewhat surreal…and I felt lightheaded all day long. Or maybe that was my build up of sleep debt this week…though I did get a reasonable amount of sleep last night. Hum.</p>
<p>I hope my interview goes NOWHERE as dorky as my phone call was. Or else they’ll think they have some psychotic little girl on their hands.</p>
<p>EDIT: I just realized that getting an interview means I have to reread my essays -_- I just know I’ll start cringing once I read them.</p>
<p>haha good luck rereading them… i did that all day. I spent math rereading mine. My friends were yelling at me for doing that cause all I would do is beat myself up over the smallest mistake i found. THey were right. I got so ****ed off during lunch that I didn’t eat, all over placing an s at the end of a singular noun. I hate typos</p>
<p>Oh My Karen. If getting an interview was based on dedication, you would for surely be in. Dont worry to much.</p>
<p>10 people from CC with out all reporting yet, thats impressive. But to those who unfortunately didn’t make it, realize you are seeing a very skewed population on this board. Just because you were in the minority on here, realize only <20% of applicants got interviews. As excited I am about TASS, I do realize that there are other things that I would like to do this summer, so dont worry. There are more opportunities out there. :)</p>
<p>Also I just realized this, more likely than not the reason why the number of people with interviewers on here is so high, Only on these boards did people know they could call to day. So chances are less the a 1/3 of people with interviews know right now.</p>
<p>OMG Aida you made my day, nothing like our phone escapades. That Sub got schooled by me when I told him I was in a music group, lol lead singer my ass. I cant even sing in tune. (Chuckles at thought I was in Gospel Choir this summer)</p>
<p>i’m crossing my fingers for you guys. remember, only us neurotic ones called today, so if you don’t get an email don’t worry. they send out all the letters on monday.</p>
<p>Haha. You definitely fall into that category Roam. (I prefer calling you by your real name, but I have to keep a level of Anonymity on this board)</p>
<p>the letters (not emails) get sent out on monday. i think it’s up for your individual interviewers to email you, not telluride (at least for the interview stage). any previous taspers want to clarify if i got this wrong?</p>
<p>haha, reading this thread is making me all tense. but, great job to everyone who got in! i wish i actually have a chance, but i guess that’s out of the question. =P</p>
<p>i’m so ****ed i even started reading this thread. i was all chill before, and perfectly content to wait until a letter showed up. now i’m buggin out, waitin for monday. thanks guys.</p>
<p>Heh, so some of you have interviews already! Congrats. </p>
<p>As for iowejf, I counsel you to stay away from this thread if it irks you so. I didn’t discover this thread until after my interview. It didn’t affect me all that much.</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone. If you get into the UT one, lemme know–I’ll let you in on some of the cool things of Austin.</p>
<p>I’m anxious. For the past few months I haven’t thought about TASP. Now that decisions are coming, I’m sweating. In retrospect, my essays could have been better, more editing, more personality. My conflict essay sucked especially. I omitted words, switched tenses and left ideas undeveloped. Well, the flaws are in the details, and it’s the big picture that’ll be counting now.</p>
<p>i wrote my literary essay on january 21. it really ended up just being a book report. if i don’t get an interview, that will be why. my other essays were pretty good, though.</p>
Dont worry to much.</p>
