<p>lol, that is cool! I actually have like 3 other people in my (rather gigantic) school that has the exact same birthday as I do. To the year. Yep… it’s awesome, though I only know one of them. :/</p>
<p>Oh, I was referring to the facebook thing :)</p>
<p>I think I added you.</p>
<p>The thing is. If you were to post on chances threads having TASP on there, people would be like. Oh you have a good chance instead of a shot.</p>
<p>But seriously I have had my rants on those who want TASP for prestigiousness. Lol not fully on here but I have let it loose.</p>
<p>I think I added you, too (I hope)</p>
<p>Oh well, I supposed I should have checked this forum before sending semi-panicked e-mails to you too, lol. I’m glad you only <em>thought</em> that was me. Better than what I thought, lol.</p>
<p>Oh my gosh Mintie I was like, wow Mintie has a facebook? No way! I wonder what her real name is…</p>
<p>Felt stupid AGAIN. Yay.</p>
<p>^ LOL, oh tako, you crack me up! :D</p>
<p>And I’m so close to being a member… not sure whether to feel sad or happy about it. :/</p>
<p>uhoh. a full fledged member??!?!!
Yep it was you… do you speak japanese?</p>
<p>How many posts does it take to become a member?</p>
<p>Wait…I’m a member! Wow I just noticed that…</p>
<p>300, I believe.</p>
<p>And then 1000 to become a senior member 
I wonder what happens if you get 10,000 posts…</p>
<p>jenny i was wondering the same thing!</p>
<p>Question: for TASS admissions, would a white person be counted as a URM?</p>
<p>also, what is the acceptance rate like for TASS?</p>
<p>is it much less selective than TASP?</p>
<p>^ lol, misleading TASS picture, isn’t it? No, being white wouldn’t be considered URM and I’m pretty sure Telluride doesn’t care that much about URM/ORM/whatever else in the college admissions sense - they’re fostering their philosophy and will accept people according to it (it’s not college admissions, basically). The reason why there are so many African Americans (hey Corey, would Internationals be allowed?) in TASS is because they’re basically the target group (not because they’re ORMs in the sense you’re thinking about).</p>
<p>In any case, Corey will no doubt provide much better and more comprehensive information in that regard. Also, I have no idea what TASS’s acceptance rate is. But it this were a chance thread, it would be a math/reach (35.98748284513% accept rate) program for you. :P</p>
<p>Woah, mj93, I came across this post: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?p=4198526#post4198526[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?p=4198526#post4198526</a></p>
<p>And you said to in response to an Asian boy’s chance thread:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>What the…!? You CAN’T be serious. Look, you’re way too immersed in the college admission process, especially when you’re only in 8th grade. It really is none of my business what you do with your time (or what you say to others, for that matter - that’s what an online forum is for) but you have got to at least re-evaluate your stance or you’ll more than likely do something you’re going to regret. </p>
<p>Morality, my friend, is what you’re asking that Asian person to sacrifice in the name of getting into a college. That, and self-respect. Oh and just so there’s no confusion, I posted the above post knowing you were in 8th grade - this isn’t about your age, it’s about being a morale person (unless, of course, you don’t particularily want to be one.)</p>
<p>I’d have to agree with Mintie there. With that attitude it’ll be hard to get far in life, never mind TASP/TASS.</p>
<p>I took it as a joke but if it wasn’t then everything everyone else said i agree with.</p>
<p>Indeed! </p>
<p>That’s just…I sure hope it is a joke.</p>
<p>tako came up with the most HILARIOUS theory of why we have five asian girls at the UMich TASP and no asian guys. gawd. </p>

tako: HAHAHA
tako: yeah
me: and for TASP they try to predict OOHHHH INTELLECTUAL FERVOR!!!
tako: i bet that’s it
tako: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
me: INTELLIGENT CONVERSATIONS SPEWING FROM TASPERS!!!
me: LATE NIGHT TALKS ABOUT RELIGION AND LITERATURE AND POLITICS!!!
me: sexual energy? nope.
tako: hahahahahahahaha
tako: i can totally see us
tako: doing that
me: me: they probably put all the essays along with the pictures of people side by side
tako: HAHAHA
me: and then they stick them in different TASPs
tako: dude totally
me: “there we go!”
me: “ellen, we did it again.”
tako: oh my gosh
tako: HAHAHA
me: “another possible relationship… SQUASHED.”</p>
<p>… =D</p>
