can anyone shed any light on why the interviews were “intense?”
Does anybody have an idea of what day we will hear back from TASP regarding decisions? I have a program that I was accepted into that requires a response by April 25. But, TASP definitely is my preferred choice. I saw online that no one can be notified “early”, and that notifications will come out as soon as they are available - just wondering when that will be.
@rjscholar idk when results come out but what I did was I confirmed my spot for another summer program, and if I somehow get accepted to TASP (v unlikely lolll) I’ll just ditch the other program. Not ideal, I know, but what else can you do 
are you guys emailing your interviewers thanking them for the interview?
@5toryt3ll3r do you have input on whether we should or not?
@gildedglass I did email my interviewers thanking them, and I would definitely recommend it, as it can only benefit you and help you look as polished, polite, and professional as possible. This is what I wrote to my interviewers: “Just wanted to say thank you so much for the interview! I had a lovely time, and really appreciate all the questions and discussion! Have a great day!”
@nomorecoll96 I’m in the east asia region!
just had my interview and it was an absolutely wonderful, amazing experience to the point that i was really, really sad when it ended. definitely focused more on philosophical/sociopolitical questions than on essays (touched only briefly) and the book list (not touched at all). i wish the best of luck to everyone still awaiting an interview, i know that my experience is one that will stick with me whether i get in or not. absolutely loved my experience.
weird observation: did anyone else’s supplementary materials turn from “100% completed” to “0% completed” after they edited their seminar preferences? because when i submitted my supplementary materials when we hadn’t yet edited our seminar stuff, my app said 100% completed when i clicked on “preview” but after the day i edited and submitted the interview info, it became 0% completed (even though all of the information like transcripts, recommendation, etc has the green checkmark and says it was submitted + completed and the application itself says it was submitted + i received the email saying everything had been submitted)
@parousia My list was only mentioned once, when one of the interviewers asked about why I liked the painting Nighthawks, because I guess she was familiar with it.
@“Luxemb(o)urg” that’s interesting! mine didn’t mention the list at all, haha. also, could you please check your tasp supplementary application (by clicking on it and then clicking preview) to see what % complete it says? i’m unsure if i should email them about mine because everything, incl. the app itself, shows up as completed + submitted, just that it says 0% at the top
@parousia Mine says submitted, 4 out of 4 tasks complete, and has a full bar at the bottom, but there isn’t a percentage anywhere.
@“Luxemb(o)urg” the same thing shows up for me, it’s just that when i click this grey tab that says “preview” at the bottom of the screen when you’re looking at the page where there’s a full bar and it says 4 out of 4 tasks complete, i get redirected to another page where it says “0% complete” at the top yet when i scroll down says every task and the application itself was completed/submitted
@parousia That’s weird, it actually does say that for me too once I go to the preview. I don’t think it’s anything to worry about though, since they’ve definitely gotten our materials.
@“Luxemb(o)urg” i emailed surveymonkey about it and they said it was just a visual error and that the percentage should read 100%. they told me not to worry because all my materials were saved and accessible, just that the site messed up with the percent on the preview page, so it’s nothing to be concerned about
Does anyone know the date we receive the results? I know it’s supposed to be by the end of the month or first week of May…
We’ll probs get it as early as in ten days, but honestly I’m so done with the waiting arghh. In past years someone on CC calls the office to check lolll so perhaps we can also do that this year…?
Hey guys!! Congratulations on all of your interviews going so well, you guys have got this! In honor of interviews coming to a close, I just uploaded another video on the TASP experience at the request of a few people. Hopefully this’ll shed even more light on what it’s like there and help you all make as informed a decision as possible! https://youtu.be/ynCG9Uo-HLY
hahahaha bro same it’s not even I believe I got in, at this point I’m just tired of waiting I just want the answer…
If anyone calls the office about the TASP decision release date, can you ask about the TASS release date as well?
I am SO anxious to get an answer… how did everyone’s interviews go? Does anyone know if I will be notified via email like my finalist notification, or if it will be a letter?
