<p>Did you get an email or a message in the status on the website?</p>
<p>Does anyone know how becomming certified works?</p>
<p>The blog says that they review the funding in the order in which they receive them, like a first come first serve type of thing. This is not looking good :-(</p>
<p>my transitional funding says complete now too… last name starts with an O and i interviewed on the 17th</p>
<p>eta- also i submitted the form before the feb10th deadline…</p>
<p>zettibetti413, keep faith. I was reading back some pages and some people didn’t find out till a few days before!</p>
<p>I know Cali, I know! I’m just going to try and be positive!!!</p>
<p>And now it’s officially the weekend and TFA is out of the office!
This means I’ll be slightly less compulsive about checking my status. I’m still under review too and I submitted before the deadline.</p>
<p>Hey! Just to update you guys
Mine also changed to complete and I completed mine before Feb. 10th but only submitted the documents on Feb. 12th</p>
<p>It says I will know the amount after the acceptance IF it happens lol…</p>
<p>My last name is Marques
My interview was in Miami on Feb.17</p>
<p>So I am thinking if you submitted the transitional funding information before Feb. 10 it doesn’t matter if you submitted the scanned docs after…they still count when you first submitted the info,…not sure though…</p>
<p>Can’t wait for March 6!</p>
<p>Oh no… I submitted mine way before feb 10th 
now I’m worried</p>
<p>Chikvicious- I did too I submitted mine on February 3. In-fact, I submitted everything by February 3. I felt like my lesson was the bomb too I provided notes, put everything in folders for everyone, wrote the line numbers and stanzas for the poem I read, used humor. UGH! I guess my answers maybe weren’t good enough. We still have 11 days though! Let’s try to keep our heads up!</p>
<p>Thus, the job search begins. Good luck to everyone!!!</p>
<p>does the change in transitional funding status have anything to do with being accepted? i wouldn’t worry too much about it</p>
<p>Zettibetti and chickvicious- I really think that the transitional funding status has nothing to do with acceptance! Keep positive thoughts please! I’m sure you all will be accepted! Let’s think positive!</p>
<p>Smarques- I’m trying!!! My last name does start with V and I am in the mid-west so maybe that has something to do with it?? I think I am going to pop in a 311 CD and just chill and get the positivity flowing :)</p>
<p>oa0176- I am not sure, but people in past posts who had their funding switch usually were accepted.</p>
<p>Keep up faith guys. I was reading back some posts and some people knew applicants who had their funding changed to Complete but still didn’t get in. I don’t think it has any indication on getting in</p>
<p>Thanks guys. I turned in everything February 1st ugh. I guess we don’t know until we know. And who really knows the rhyme or reason to the order. I’m sure there are a ton of factors.</p>
<p>Mine is still under review, but I submitted mine well after the February 10th deadline for acceptance day notification. I think I submitted mine February 20th or so. </p>
<p>Also, I got an e-mail from my recruiter today just asking about how I felt about the interview and everything. Is anyone else in the Louisiana area? I was contacted by Melissa and near about had a heart attack.</p>
<p>Another friend who applied said he got the same e-mail, so I am hopefully not reading into it too much, but it still freaked me out!</p>
<p>Has anyone else heard from a recruiter since the interview?</p>
<p>Hey guys! I never had a recruiter, why do you have one? How did they recruit you?</p>
<p>After snooping through this thread for about 3-4 days, I couldn’t take it any longer - I admitted defeat and signed up. I figure that in order to survive for the next 10 days without going crazy, I will need the support of a group of people who are also set on this program and happen to be going equally as insane about their admission decision. This seems like a great place, and I look forward to the ridiculous amounts of paranoia that will result. </p>
<p>I had my final interview in Seattle. The day after my interview, I wrote semi-long ‘thank you’ emails to both of my interviewers. Even though it was the weekend, they both responded back within two days - over the weekend even. Knowing that they would take the time to write back to an applicant during their off-time meant a lot to me. </p>
<p>If I don’t get accepted, I’m currently looking into deadlines for other education organizations, Americorps, and a couple other positions which I have recently interviewed for; but at the end of the day, I have to sigh. TFA is a big deal to me.</p>
<p>@smarques2, the recruiter i have works with different NYC/NJ colleges… i remember a few years ago attending an info session my career center set up at a TFA office in NYC and filling out a form, so thats probably how she got my info</p>
