Well, I'm still hopeful It seems to be coming in stages for everyone. Maybe we'll see something on Friday or Monday.

I'm so glad I found this thread. It's like group therapy. seriously. LOL.

I've been checking my TFA status online and e-mail non-stop since my final interview (10/21). While my final interview went okay, I know I could've done much better during the group interview. The group discussion was pretty much dominated by people who talked for like 2min non-stop and others (like me) try to budge in but then another would talk after you say a couple words. I was only able to say two things, but I know I could've said a lot more. Ugh. Oh wells, it is what it is.

For anyone's transitional funding that changed to "complete", early congrats to you since it is definitely a good sign, and can you please let us know:

1.) Submission date of your transitional funding
2.) Final interview date


Thanks!!! Good luck to us all!

Haha TFAhopeful, it really is!

I agree with polling everyone on those two things, I'd love to know if the transitional funding status change is tied to the day you submitted the docs/final interview date.

For the record, I interviewed on Oct. 19th and submitted my app on Oct. 7th.

Hi, tfahopeful! My transitional funding status changed to complete on Wednesday. I had submitted my transitional funding application 10/14 and interviewed 10/21. Not sure what (if any) correlation exists between dates, but it seems to be more tied to interview date than the transitional funding submission date. I think a lot of it has to do with placement, too. It might take longer to find assignments for some people!

I know people were seeing status changes up until the day of decisions last year! And in the TFA wait list thread, I saw someone whose status had changed to complete, so he thought he was being pulled off the waitlist, and he hadn't been (though he did eventually get accepted). So I really am hesitant to assume anything from the change to "complete."

Thanks toydiamondring I'm anxious but still hopeful that my status will change soon enough. You're right, they're probably still down to the wire trying to figure out where to place people.

TFAhopeful

Yes. Thanks, toydiamondring.

I am hoping everyone's status will change a.s.a.p.

We have 5 more days to go guys! I will definitely keep myself occupied during the weekend and do something fun that way I get my mind distracted from all this waiting. ugh.

Well, I have nothing to compulsively check (although I wish I did) since I did not submit for transitional funding. I figure I would not qualify for grants (the joys of being a working professional!) and I have enough in savings to get by...

So it's just plain ol' waiting for me! But interesting to see how all of your statuses have been updating!

Hey TFAhopeful! I submitted my Transitional Funding on the last day, 10/14, and interviewed on Wed, 10/21 (which was before toydiamondring). My status changed yesterday (Thursday, 11/03) during the day.

I think status change also depends on the region where you were interviewed, and how many applicants that region had (maybe some are busier than others and have more applications to process). It's still around 5 days left, so don't stress much over no change in transitional funding - I am sure TFA admissions folks are still working on placements/transitional funding awards and did not get to everyone's yet. If they had everyone's applications processed by now, the Notification day would had been today! Although I know, it is very stressful, but all of you who are still waiting - hang in there!!!

TFAhopeful

Thanks, dreamingirl.

It appears that status change is independent of these two variables. However, it is interesting that they are working on them as we speak.

@winterbaby017: I also currently hold a full time job, but I still applied since I never know if they're nice enough to throw some cash my way. Doesn't hurt to apply.

I looked on last year's thread too and some people's changed only a couple of hours before the notifications went out (TFA, that's cutting it close, no? hahah), so if that's what you guys are looking for, no need to be worried about anything!
