Disillusioned by summer program

Currently at TASS! And I just wanted to emphasize that not all the so-called “prestigious” summer programs are like this. The people I have met here are genuinely the most well-versed and passionate people ever in their respective interests. Regardless, I suggest taking advantage of the opportunity and engaging with the content to the best of your ability, even if those around you may not be doing the same. Highly recommend TASS for those looking for genuine people with genuine interests!

Yeah this makes me feel better! I’m glad you’re having fun at TASS. I think a lot of my experience might be because I’m surrounded by the “average” T20 student who wants to go into compsci/engineering, premed, or prelaw just for the money (not saying people can’t also be passionate about these things, but there’s a higher portion of “passionate” people in niche fields with low ROI than these examples). TASS is pretty niche in some areas iirc so I’d imagine the people there are really specialized :) Congrats on getting accepted also !!
