Ahhh those of us still waiting find out tomorrow about the final interview! Getting pretty nervous! Have a feeling tomorrow is going to go very slowly.

Good luck to everyone! I feel like there are less people who applied to this deadline. Could just be me. Only because in previous there were a lot more people posting on here. Maybe it will increase our chances. =)

So I've been following this thread for a while thinking about applying to TFA, still not completely sure I'm going to. I've got some other options that I'm thinking of. But I was searching online and found this website, and am wondering if anyone has bought the book? Thoughts? Destination: Teach For America - Destination: Teach For America - Book

@lea415 im from california and im going to school in alabama i think my highly preferred region will be in Texas im still not ready to go home yet

@alisenwonderland I am from NY and I am trying to get somewhere warm. My highly preferred regions are in Texas as well and I am thinking Miami.

@lea415 I put Texas as highly preferred and Miami-Dade as one of my least. I honestly didn't even think of how I would do in different weather but I think I could handle Texas weather. Someone told me it does get surprisingly cold out there well cold by Los Angeles standards which we don't really have a good idea of what cold really is. My friends from Chicago and Detroit laugh at me because I get bundled up for 50 degree weather.

I just filled out my preference form. I was really surprised to learn that early childhood education and special education are high priority subjects! Thats exactly what I'm interested in. Is anyone else interested in these subjects? If not, what are you hoping to teach? I also feel pretty good about my regional preferences. I did put down a lot of the grayed-out east coast places like MA and NY, but also Sacramento and Miami. I have only been to California twice but it was pretty awesome and would totally consider teaching there.

Special Education is my highly preferred as well. I have 12 regions in my highly preferred. Miami I have moved to #1 but I am sure I will change that a few more times. Then I have Dallas and Atlanta. It is so hard to rate them. I am trying to go based on where I would like to be most and salary. New York City I could not live on what is left over at the end of the year.
