Well I'm interviewing in SF, but I want to get out of California. I'd like to go east, or south. But I'm really ok being sent anywhere because I'm so in love with TFA's mission!

Hi everyone! I applied to the 2nd deadline, went through the phone interview, and invited to the final interview. It's on Monday!! Ahhh....Good luck to everyone!!

does anybody have any idea what the likelihood of being placed in your highly preferred versus preferred or least preferred SUB-REGION is? I know that they say they do their best to place you where you'd like to go... but sometimes the difference between sub-regions is like two completely different worlds! (example. louisiana delta and new orleans)

I was wondering if anyone knows anything about this or has a friend who has applied before/been accepted/gone through the process, etc.

Thanks! and good luck to everyone this week !

@TFAhopeful125: Great job on finishing your final interview! Without going into too much detail, how was the group overall (ie. how many did you interview with, did you guys divide up for the group discussion)? Thanks for your input!

Hey all! Applied 1st deadline, no phone interview. I have my interview Friday. Ahh! I feel ready, but the butterflies in my stomach are freaking out. I hope to end up in baltimore or charlotte, NC.

I had my interview yesterday, too. I agree with tfahopeful that it's a positive experience. Now the wait til Nov. 1st begins...

I've been watching this thread closely and finally decided to just join it! I have my interview tomorrow and am very nervous but also very excited! Fingers crossed all goes well!

I had my interview Monday.

It was overall pretty positive, although my lesson ended up being like 4:05-10 instead of 5 minutes. I guess the nerves made me talk really fast (although it did flow really well and my bubbly personality was definitely fun to show off). I have a feeling that's really going to hurt me. :[

I thought mostly everyone in my group was awesome. I really wonder how they pick one over the other.

But now I am so nervous until November 1! It really could go either way for me. I definitely was confident yet smile-y? (is that an adjective? if not, too bad :P) during my one-on-one interview. But I don't know.

Does anyone know if the final interview is the other thing that matters (i.e. 90% of how they evaluate their decisions)? Or if they collectively look at your app/GPA/school attended/resumé + phone interview + final interview + recommendations?

Brought out my old username from high school to post on this thread!

I applied first round, went direct to final round, and my interview is tomorrow. I'M SO NERVOUS! I keep finding blogs online where people talk about how confident they were that they were going to get in after the final interview and they were then rejected... not good for my nerves. At least we only have to wait 2-2 1/2 weeks to hear back.

Does anyone know the statistics for people who make it to the final round for acceptance?

I have heard that about 50% of the total pool of applicants make it through each round of cuts. I'm not sure how accurrate that is though?
