<p>Dear Gina,
I am pleased to tell you that you have been chosen as a finalist for the Telluride Summer Programs. You are now one of over 140 finalists competing for the 68 places in the 2008 programs. This year finalists were selected from over 725 applications. Congratulations!</p>
<p>^ it’s pretty close to what they wrote in the letter last year. except this time, it was postmarked on the 3rd…</p>
<p>(:</p>
<p>Yay JJUYA! Lots of hugs.
But I’m surprised that you got your decision through the mail.
The latest I’ll find out will probably be Monday. I’m not calling :p</p>
<p>EDIT: Eek! I guess applications declined this year, and they’re chosing fewer people for interviews…On the bright side, you have almost a 50/50 chance. Blow them away!</p>
<p>I HEART better odds!</p>
<p>ARGH!!! WHY DON’T I GET TASP MAIL?!?!</p>
<p>I’m sorry, I just want to know really, really, really badly!</p>
<p>But congrats JJUYA!</p>
<p>does anyone know if we get notified regardless of whether we got an interview? like a letter saying “sorry, better luck the next time you’re a high school junior”?</p>
<p>SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!</p>
<p>I know that I’m not supposed to be here, but I just HAD to make a new account because <em>trombone roll</em> you guys you guys you guys I GOT AN INTERVIEW!!!</p>
<p>I saw the post about mail and ran out to check. Since I’m not currently listening to A Favor House Atlantic, it must mean that I’m in! So far! Anyway, the letter was just like what JJyuya said. “You are one of over 140 finalists competing for the 68 places in the 2008 programs.” But geez, they don’t let us know if we’re actually in or not until May, even though the interviews are in March and early April! </p>
<p>Squeeeeeee! Ha! Even banned, Porna’s still one of the over-140 baddest b****es on this thread, baby. To the others, good luck sweatin’ it out.</p>
<p>I’m praying that there was no letter because I’m an international applicant.</p>
<p>PRAYING. and I don’t believe in God.</p>
<p>anyone know what the interview is like? formal, informal, etc.</p>
<p>haha wink, yeah National History Day. NDH, lol what a bad typo</p>
<p>jw, has anyone gotten an email that said they DIDN’T get an interview?</p>
<p>I think I just saw a pig doing loop-de-loops outside my window as I opened my TASP letter and saw that I got an interview… :D</p>
<p>I MADE IT!</p>
<p>I’m in Texas, btw.</p>
<p>ahhhhh…i haven’t gotten anything.
i know there’s still time, i’m trying to convince myself i’ll be rejected…better to start the greiving process early (you know, spread it out a bit)</p>
<p>ok, maybe a little dramatic.</p>
<p>jw: did everyone who was accepted for interviews receive the notification through snail (paper) mail??</p>
<p>Hello all, I’ve just been accepted for an interview and I’m really excited!</p>
<p>Okay, someone has to dig out the list and add all these people…</p>
<p>NOTIFIED INTERVIEWEES:
<p>And no one freak out yet because that’s only 5% of the total interviewees. As far as we know, there are still 133 spots left for all of us.</p>
<p>hey cira…<em>groan</em> and dig out the list? thats like trying to excavate a needle out of a haystack of needles</p>
<p>Hey Elmo… Ugh, I’m fretting.</p>
<p>I napped from 4-6:30 today. Not a good sign… And I have a paper due on Macbeth tomorrow I’ve gotten about half done on so far, and I have dance tonight and I am so sick of not knowing. I screwed up a chemistry quiz earlier… Why would they say moles of solute in the book when it is definitely moles of particles of solute? I am not happy about this.</p>
<p>Hlover, I think the earlier people got email, not paper mail. It sounds like the paper mail went out March 3rd. I don’t know why emails didn’t go out at that time… Telluride, quit screwing with us! We just want to know!</p>
<p>wait… why did porna create yet another usename? i thought she was using wolfthefierce</p>
<p>Maybe they realized who she was and suspended her again?</p>
<p>are the people who have gotten through to the interview stage sophmores or juniors?
does anyone know when juniors find out?</p>
<p>WOW i did not know so many people were into TASP. I attended TASS last year at U of M, and it was great. I truly believe TASS is much better than TASP, because in TASS its very diverse ( if you know what i mean). </p>
<p>But for all the peole that have interviews, i wish you luck. Bring your A game with you, because the acceptance rate into TASP is like 1:40 people that apply.</p>
<p>TASP is for Juniors, TASS is for sophomores, purell. We are currently being notified, just very slowly. You can call in to find out on Friday.</p>
