<p>Just wanted to give a big thank you to everyone here. Ya’ll have made a supportive and spirit-lifting community during this stressful application and waiting time. My apologies to those who did not get in-- I think your hard work and passion shown during this process has definitely said a lot about what a great contribution you will be making wherever you end up. Keep on going! <em>Hug</em></p>
<p>My transitional funding status hasn’t changed at all- no documents reviewed, zilch. I’m really nervous and trying to get a grip… I guess there’s no use in dwelling on it since I’ll find out soon enough… but I’m definitely one of the types of individuals that Satelle mentioned. <em>rolls over and dies</em></p>
<p>@Satelle, Sleepless and Rejected in Seattle would be a great book title. You write about all of the programs you found that would give you an opportunity to give back to your community, the craziness of applying to all of them, how you felt through the process, what you got accepted to and your journey through the selected program. Just a thought . . . your sign-off caught my eye :).</p>
<p>Welcome, Jitt3rbug! This is such a great community!</p>
<p>Smarques2–we’re both down to the hourly countdown, huh? </p>
<p>We’re so close, everyone! I can’t stop thinking about the impending decision, kind of like you all reading this, I’m sure! Here’s to hoping that TFA doesn’t monitor how many hours I’ve been logging on their site…but then again maybe it couldn’t hurt if they know </p>
<p>I’m keeping my fingers crossed and wishing that all of us are going to get positive news in 43.5 hours. But, we also have to keep telling ourselves that ANY news will be positive because we are ALL going to work toward closing the achievement gap and giving every student the chance they deserve at an equitable education. :)</p>
<p>The other night, well more like Saturday morning here in NY, there was a post that has now disappeared. I didn’t want to mention it because I didn’t want to seem like a compulsive maniac but it’s really bothering me. Can someone please attest to reading a post made by a TFA alum, now principal William (can’t recall the last name because I was half asleep)? He posted congratulations on being accepted and extended his website as a means of contact for those with questions. Tell me TFA has not taken over my dreams too! I’ve already had one dream too many!</p>
<p>@Plb - I’ll obtain the rights to that title immediately! All proceeds will go to education :)</p>
<p>@Fairytale - It’s possible that we had the same exact dream, but I read his post as well!</p>
<p>To everybody else - I’ll be here with you when you receive your results! I’m excited for everybody, and regardless of which programs we choose, I’m excited for all of us to embark on some pretty crazy adventures.</p>
<p>To anybody who has gotten rejected in the past: Does the TFA status page ever change to a “you have not been accepted” page? Or will it always remain as a ghost-town memory stating “you’ve been accepted to a final interview!” I feel a lot better about pursuing other opportunities, but I need the final closure!</p>
<p>You are right, I read that post too and was surprised when it was removed. If I remember correctly he was from the Los Angeles region. I thought maybe he was confused that we had all been accepted or ?? What are your thoughts?</p>
<p>@Satelle, seriously the book would be a great idea. I think there are so many people who do want to give back or contribute to improving the quality of life in some way. Unfortunately, many of these programs do not get the attention they deserve. The book could be enlightening to other people like us or younger students who are still seeking some type of direction.</p>
<p>I honestly did not have any thoughts until it was removed. The post did however, cause me to rethink the idea of TFA observing this forum. If they did, I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad thing, I just wonder like many of you have already mentioned.</p>
<p>Accepted/Rejected: Accepted on Feb 29th at 5:09 PM CST…I had requested to find out if I was accepted or not by Feb 29th. Region placement and subject will not be released until March 6th.</p>
<p>Final Interview date: Weds. Feb 15th…11 people total…3 males 8 females…2 interviewers were male.</p>
<p>Applied for transitional funding? Yes, just noticed right now that it changed to Incomplete with an explanation that I needed my parents to sign a note saying I pay the student loan debt for the Parent PLUS loans in their name.</p>
<p>rmehney- glad to hear about your change of status. Mine also reads “incomplete” it had me nervous. Thanks for the update! Once again congrats! Soon you’ll know where you’ll be living for the next two years! </p>
<p>It’s incredible how much our lives can change tomorrow.</p>
<p>Wow! I slept for 4 hours… I just can’t sleep but think if my life will change in 37 hours for the next two years of my life and hopefully forever…</p>
<p>Tomorrow is the day my friends! I want TFA so bad, but I am trying to brace myself for the worst. I have been so impressed by the users of this forum that have been rejected from TFA, but are still passionately seeking other ways to close the achievement gap. I hope to follow in your guys’ footsteps!</p>
Here’s to hoping that TFA doesn’t monitor how many hours I’ve been logging on their site…but then again maybe it couldn’t hurt if they know
