TASP是全美久负盛名、最成功的学术暑期项目之一，也是全美最好和最难进的暑期项目，录取率5%，为来自世界各地11年级学生提供为期六周的教育体验。让他们在一起分享积极进取的学习野心，进行口才、智力、见识、行动力方面的PK挑战。学生可参与由各大学教授指导的密集型研讨会，包括阅读、讨论、文学赏析和写作等主题，以及大量课外活动。项目全免费(包食宿)，对于申请美国著名大学和常春藤是重要的标杆。这里强调的是团队的讨论，而不是讲座式的灌输；重视对知识的好奇心和积极性，而不是话题题材的常规理论。如果你是文科学霸，那么这无疑是一个难得的机会来证明你的才能！

Reflect on the education(formal and informal) you have received: ✔What experiences have you felt fortunate or unfortunate to have? ✔What part of your education (formal or informal) has challenged you the most? ✔If you attended TASS, please reflect on that experience and explain what in addition you would hope to gain from and contribute to TASP.
- At TASP, you will discuss texts and ideas in a college-style seminar. You should feel comfortable thinking deeply about an issue, communicating a well-reasoned stance, and genuinely engaging with others’ positions. To that end, tell us about a time a text (a piece of writing, movie, song lyrics, etc.) influenced your ideas about an issue. What did you think at first, and how did your thinking change? Refer to specific parts of the text to analyze how it affected your ideas.
3.TASP is comprised of small educational communities that rely greatly on the maturity of individual members. Tell us about a recent time you did something that upset or hurt a peer in a community you were involved in. ✔How did you respond to this situation? ✔Reflect on your response, and evaluate it. What would you do the same, and what might you do differently? Why?
Short Answer Questions（短问答）： In addition, please provide, in no more than 1,500 characters (approximately 250 words) per list: ✔A. brief explanation of why you are interested in each seminar and an order of your preference for attending them. If there is a seminar that you would definitely not attend, explain why. (If you are selected for TASP, we will use your answer to help place you into an appropriate seminar.) ✔B.A list of your favorite books and other media (such as films, exhibits, newspapers, magazines, lectures, music, works of art, etc.). ✔C.A list of your most relevant activities, work or volunteer experiences, scholarship programs，honors, and awards. For each, include a very brief deion of its importance to you. ✔Optional: You may (but are not required to) submit up to 1,500 characters (approximately 250 words or half a page) of any other information you feel would help the committee understand your application: for example, any unusual patterns or anomalies in your academic record, such as gaps in education, or a poor semester performance.
