@kea2020 i wrote my second essay on a TED talk… I hope that was valid
at least regardless of what happens we get a taste of what college admissions feels like. holy cow.
rip it sucks that there’s nothing we can do except wait. i am glad that I have all of y’all here that are in the same boat, it makes me feel less alone. It really speaks to the power that human connection has in terms of mental health and happiness. It is better not to ruminate though. I feel like while this thread is fun to go on, it doesn’t do much except make us more nervous. We have no control over when results go out or what they will say, and we have all given it our best shot by now! They will come out when they come out and they will say what they say. Now if you’re like me, you better close out this tab and do your homework.
I know it’s been repeated ad nauseam, but TASP’s 6 week long program constitutes 0.1% of a 4732 week human life. Sure, it may be a good 6 weeks, but it is still only 6 weeks. I’m also not convinced TASP is the huge boost some make it out to be. Most elite-tier students who come out of TASP probably would’ve gotten in to those schools regardless; TASP selects for talent, not the other way around. There’s a number of CC’ers who’ve gone to TASP, for instance, whose results haven’t matched up to TASP’s colossal name.
So I agree with @collegeSLAPS ; although it’s been built up in our minds to be some impossibly glorious haven, it’s probably not nearly what the CC collective believes it to be, a fantasy which seems to peak exponentially as decision times draw closer lol
Edit: I’m not insinuating that the program isn’t great in terms of mental development and intellectual flourishing. I believe it is, which is why I want to go. But just some things to keep in mind.
I didn’t check this site for a day and a half and there’s like 6 new pages of chats lmao.
I’ve been doing a good job of distracting myself and trying not to think of my impending results soon, but the anxiety has really been kicking up lately. I reread my essays recently and I keep fluctuating between thinking they’re good and thinking that they’re terrible…
Only a few more days of waiting, and I’m hopeful that all of on here will be getting happy news soon!
Man, this email isn’t even going to say whether we got in or not. It’s just going to say whether we have a CHANCE at getting in or not.
I love how this thread is just one big panic chamber lmao
wait so is it coming out today? any california folk out here?
Hey everyone! I’ve been lurking awhile; I’m really interested in everyone’s responses/selected medias! if anyone’s curious, I wrote mine about The Lucifer Effect.
I’m in California and I haven’t gotten anything. Also for my second essay I wrote about Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides
@perspica refuting it or supporting it? From what I’ve heard about the book and research into the author’s uber-famous experiment, it’s very controversial… many academics think the iffy parameters of the experiment void the results
