Hey guys! I have not seen any TASP threads for those of us applying this year for the 2020 program, so I thought I'd make a thread to see who all is going to be applying so we can have our own little community to talk about our essays. Let's hope this goes well!

TASP 2019 Application

Senate Page
Has anyone had interviews with Marissa Emanuel from Chuck Schumer’s office? If so, can you say anything about it such as advice or just general information?
I have one scheduled and I don’t know what to expect so I would really appreciate hearing anything someone has to offer.

Summer programs for current 9'th graders
Hello all,
Most summer programs seem to be sophomores and higher. Any recommendations for what summer programs or activities that will really help ? I am interested in STEM activities particularly.

PA Governors Schools for 2019
For Pitt PA Global Studies 2019, how many students are accepted in the program each year, and can a student reapply if they are not accepted the first year? Are all these programs renewed every year or does it depend on state funding? It's nice to see programs in addition to the traditional STEM governor's schools. Thanks in advance for any information.

MIT PRIMES 2020
I'm currently applying to MIT PRIMES USA (the application is due in couple days...good luck to anyone else who's applying!) I guess I'm just wondering how selective it is/how high the acceptance rate is (and how likely it is for me to get in). Is it comparable to RSI (~1% acceptance rate) or more to other selective programs such as the Simons summer research program (~12%)?
What factors do they weigh most in admissions (pset, rec letters, background, competition performance, diversity)? How much background are they expecting (e.g. calculus, linear algebra, abstract algebra, coding ability)? How many problems solved for the p-set would be expected (it says >50-60% should consider applying, but I assume most people accepted would be higher than that)? This year is out of 13 (7+6). How many in the general/advanced section and what would the split be for an average participant?

Good summer programs for engineering near me?
I've been looking at things to do over the summer before senior year (i'm a junior now) to build up my college application a bit. I got an email about TASP, and it seems really interesting (even though it's not really STEM related, I think it would still be a super cool experience) and I was wondering what other things are out there. A lot of these programs are across the country (I live in Indiana) so transportation (If i'm even accepted, which is probably a stretch anyway) would be a critical factor. Any ideas?

How to get into the New Jersey Scholar Program
Hi! So my school is doing the New Jersey Scholar Program, and I was just wondering about my own chances if I was chosen. I have a decent GPA (99.894 the last time I checked), and I have seven leadership positions (Highest one being Vice-president for my Latin club, and having a state position in a latin-related organization.) Did around 60+ hours of community service, and have many awards also pertaining to latin. (Such as a gold medal on the National exam and Bronze on the Roman Civilzation Exam).
I'm just a bit curious and everything becuase I rather have my hopes and dreams crushed now, rather than later. Do you think I would have a chance to get in?
