Why do i feel like TASP might not be worth it?

The more i think about TASP, the more i wonder if it would even be worth it to apply. Now that there are only 3 seminars this year the acceptance rate is going to be around 4%; 6% for interviews. That’s so discouraging. I feel like if i put my heart and soul into the applications and i get rejected, I’ll be very depressed. And it’s not like college applications because i know if i apply to some schools (ex. Harvard) i have a likely chance of getting rejected just because they consider so many other things. TASP is a make or break off of your essays, so putting in so much time for those essays to get rejected would be horrible.

Your thoughts?
