<p>@Soulch1ld yeah i know how you feel! The worst part for me is that two of my coworkers got in (in previous deadlines) and I have the same if not more teaching experience than them. We all had essentially the same recommenders and we also went to a tier 1 school. I am literally teaching under served first graders right now with a curriculum I developed! Not to mention I am a first generation college student and blah blah blah.</p>
<p>Most people in my final interview group did not stand out as people who would do well as teachers by any means. I was also the only one who finished my lesson in time and used a unique activity instead of a boring work sheet. But it really could have been anything like me volunteering to go first. <em>sigh</em></p>
<p>I already ate an almond joy (which ironically brought little joy) so I am grabbing a bottle of wine as we speak.</p>
<p>again, congrats to those who were admitted.</p>
