Apply! And it’s essays, not you, that they may reject. I will keep saying this because this is something that needs to be internalized by everyone who applies: you as a person are not being judged, they are judging five essays and possibly an interview concerning those five essays. I found the process of writing the essays to be very beneficial to me in itself, and it was actually a lot of fun (though stressful of course). Also keep in mind that when you apply to colleges next year you can use your TASP essays as jumping off points for those essays. It’s free also. You have absolutely nothing to lose. Hollow is of course right, there is more to life than getting into TASP, one would have to be delusional to think of their life hanging in the balance of a summer program application.

Notice I haven’t even mentioned how amazing the program is if you get in. Seriously, apply.
