<p>I just want to be clear: the deadline IS right before the midnight that ENDS Friday (today), right? Not right before the midnight that ends Thursday (yesterday)? Because it’s 3 am Friday and mine just went in. Praise Buddha for me having no midterms tomorrow.</p>

<p>I think that if I get called back for an interview and then don’t get in, I might very well kill someone. I’m a Drama person, so I know about auditions, but having experienced how horrible it is to get called back for a part and then not get it doesn’t make not getting it any less horrible the 2nd, 3rd, 4th times around.</p>

902

<p>^yes, it is “today” (friday) at 11:59:59 EST.</p>

<p>hahah good luck everyone!</p>

<p>Just got an email saying that the deadline has been extended until Sunday… I might just have time to write those essays after all :)</p>

907

<p>the deadline’s just been extended…</p>

<p>last night, after realizing i had 4 essays left to do, i gave up.
i just accepted the fact that i just wasn’t meant be a TASPer… ):</p>

<p>AHHH! why are they doing this do me?!
i’m debating whether i should finish my essays or study for tomorrow’s SAT…</p>

908

<p>YESSSS!
I am so relieved that the deadline has been extended…
Like many of you I have had exams the past week and not a lot of time to edit.</p>

<p>In response to JJUYA – you can take the SATs any old time. I would recommend writing your essays, because TASP is really supposed to be one of those amazing, once-in-a-lifetime opportunities.</p>

909

<p>YAY!!! EXTRA TIME!!!</p>

<p>I’m so happy! Now I can study for the SAT a little and just relax, instead of frantically editing my essays!</p>

910

<p>okay… since i have time now (i love the extension!)… ADVICE PLEASE!!! (:</p>

<p>i wrote my “conflict” essay about my struggle with trichotillomania, an obsessive-compulsive disorder associated with hair-pulling. i started in the 4th grade, but i was finally “cured” in the 8th grade and have been recuperating since.</p>

<p>do you think that they (admissions people) will consider my (somewhat psychological) issue as a negative factor and not want to accept me? i’m scared that they might think i have mental problems… EEEEK! ><</p>

<p>i’m seriously considering dumping the trich topic altogether…</p>

<p>Sent mine in by mail! Good luck to all applicants working toward the newly extended deadline!</p>

<p>JJUYA, I think that as long as you show your character, your ability to analyze… etc… in your essays, and that… you’ve overcome it… I think it’d be fine. good luck!</p>
