TASS 2020

My interview was approximately one hour and a half @femkilljoy . Also I believe results will probably come out in less than two weeks, because last time the finalist announcement was quite early. Good luck to y’all!

@femkilljoy Hi! My interview lasted about 45 minutes, it was pretty short (we spent the last minutes just talking normally and I asked a few questions)! I think results will come out next week hopefully! I really can’t wait either, I hope we all get in!

TASS results are in!

I got in: U Mich AfroAsian Cultures and Media!! The program is going to be online

@anxiousinsomniac Same! AfroAsian Cultures at UMich. Sadly, it’s not TASS anymore, rather TAOS lol

Wondering if the Cornell kids can go to campus? I doubt it though

@snapchat I doubt it, I got into the Cornell seminar (the testify one) and they stated in the email that it is going to be online. I really wish I could go :disappointed:

@zd2409 rip. would’ve been my first time in michigan too rlly wanted to go :neutral:

Same :frowning:

I got into Cornell 2. I’m a little sad it’ll be online.

Are any of you planning on not attending. I am asking because I am on the waiting list and I was hoping I had a shot

@femkilljoy Im planning on attending, but I definitely think you’d have a chance because it’s online now. Some people won’t have access to computers at home, or wifi, or others might not be able to attend because of time zones. I’m not sure, but I hope you get in!

Am I supposed to receive an email after confirming my attendance? I’m afraid they haven’t received my email telling them I will be able to attend.

@anxiousinsomniac I’m not sure, but I didn’t get a confirmation email either. Also, has anyone gotten an email today attached with a couple forms and a survey? How are we supposed to turn in the forms?

I got the email. I am going to print the forms and scan them.

Okay, that makes sense, I’ll do that too! I’m still shocked that I got in, I mean I mentally prepared myself to not get in and said that it would be fine if I didn’t get this far, you know? I really am sad that it’s online because I could’ve been in New York over the summer!! But, I’m glad I still get this opportunity!

Hi there! I’ve been lurking here for a while. My interview lasted 1.5 hours at the end of which my interviewer basically told me that I was in, if I wanted to attend! Wanted to attend? Wanted to attend?? I was dying to attend. So you can imagine how disappointed I was to get the email on May 4 informing me that I was an alternate and that they “hope to be able to tell (you) by May 13 if a position becomes available (for you).” Now May 13 has come and gone and I haven’t heard anything. I am wondering if it’s a good idea for me to call them … .

@AntonioDeLaPaz I am also an alternate and I have had no answer. No offense but it is super reassuring to hear that someone else didn’t get any answer either. I am waiting and I am hoping I get in, but the chances as of rn are looking pretty low. I am not mad, we still have TASP next year. I think they might be experiencing delays due to COVID 19. If you do call them, let me know. Also my interview lasted 1.5 hours too and I didn’t get in lol. I hope the people that got in though enjoy the program as much as they can.

Let me know if you call them. I got in and I have questions about the forms I have to fill for the program. I emailed them last week but they still haven’t answered me.

Hey did you guys get books and packets shipped to you? I did and one didn’t have a name of who shipped it so I’m assuming TASS but just wanted to double check!
