<p>yes - they tried to sell us on the delta but i did not make changes based on the discussion.</p>
<p>Lol yeah, writing poetry helps take the nerves off! We also got a talk about the Delta but i already had a lot of high need areas on my list and it was one of them…so no change needed to be made. I put Memphis as número uno since I live just a few hours away it would be easier to move the family.</p>
<p>KnickyG, do you know what the phone number is? They are very slow with email!</p>
<p>@Educatedbrotha12: No, I don’t. 
I thought it would be on the sight somewhere but all I can find is the email…I thought it would just make sense that they would have a number to call.</p>
<p>Ahh! The wait is killing me. I felt that I did really well, but who knows? It’s such a competitive process. I need to get my mind off this because I have spending a good portion of my free time thinking “What if” I get the positon.</p>
<p>Hello everyone. I just found this site today 
I had my final interview on 28 March and I’m going to be doing my best not to worry myself to death until the notification day 12 April.</p>
<p>I’ve been reading the past posts and want to say a few of things. First, I’m so glad that I’m not the lone worrier, second thank you all for your comments, insights and humor, third I hope if I make it I can find some of you in person to support me and hope you will allow me to support you.</p>
<p>I’m not a recent grad, it’s been a while although I decline to say just how long I just hope that I’m given the opportunity to pass on what I was given by a few extraordinary teachers I’ve had in my life. Best wishes to all.</p>
<p>@tfaoldster: You’re not the only one, so don’t feel different. I graduated a while back myself and, if accepted, will be dragging a hubby and a 7 year old along as well! A couple of us on here are “up there” in the years but I can say that I was shocked at my interview to find out that everyone but me was only just getting ready to graduate for the first time.</p>
<p>@KnickyG: Thank you so much for responding. I thought I would encounter some recent college grads but like you all save one were still in classes and walking for the diploma this May. I hope they enjoy the experience as much as I did.</p>
<p>I must say this about the group I was in they were, with 2 exceptions, amazing! Six of us went to lunch and we had a wonderful time. It was funny that because I love the show “Dr. Who” I became, as one of the group said, “even cooler” :)))</p>
<p>I had a wonderful time through out the day although I thought I might need to call a cardiologist before and right after the 5 minute teach as my heart was beating so rapidly </p>
<p>Again, thank you for your response and please forgive me as I don’t remember are you in the same boat as me a 5DL pup?</p>
<p>Did anyone else get invited to any webinars today? I saw emails from TFA and nearly fell over, but it was just invitations for early childhood ed & teaching mathematics webinars …</p>
<p>I got an invite to the teaching math and science webinar. The email text said it was sent out to people who indicated they were highly interested in thise subjects.</p>
<p>As for what this indicates about your application status, well, I don’t think it means anything. For example, somewhere in maybe 3D someone attended a webinar and eventually felt annoyed he/she didn’t get in and so it was wasted time. On the other hand, can’t hurt to get more info! I just don’t think we should read that much into it.</p>
<p>Anyone preference math/science and NOT get a webinar invite? They were sent out like a hour ago.</p>
<p>Oooh I only skimmed old posts & didn’t see that waltzindreams. It’s sort of weird how TFA does things sometimes! I might attend because, if not accepted to TFA, I have already been accepted to a traditional M.A.T. program, so the information would be useful either way for me at least haha.</p>
<p>Hey!</p>
<p>Did anyone get their transitional funding request completed yet? I did (I am 5 Deadline as well).</p>
<p>Mine still says under review. I submitted my materials on March 24th.</p>
<p>Yeah… I made a mistake on my original submission form, so I had to send them an email explaining some corrections. Maybe that is why it is done? Regardless, I hope its a good sign. However, I do understand there has been people with completed statuses and not been accepted.</p>
<p>i sent my info late and its still under review as of today :/</p>
<p>@TFAoldster: yup, I am a 5DL. My group was really great as well and I got a lot of compliments on my lesson plan but I think it was mainly because they weren’t expecting to learn how to speak Japanese!</p>
<p>Yeah, I got two webinar invites for Early Childhood Teaching and also for Science. I haven’t checked my trans. funding yet cause I don’t wanna be obsessing about it so I am trying really…really…hard not to check it. My hubby keeps jumping me every time I do!</p>
<p>I also got the web seminars invitations…guess since everybody is getting it’s not a sign of anything…or…we are all in :D</p>
<p>This is nerve wrecking!!!</p>
<p>Yep, I got the “Special Invitation” email which I nearly fell over for but then I saw that it supposedly went out to all applicants who expressed an interest in teaching Math/Science. I too am wondering if there is anyone who didn’t receive the email. </p>
<p>This is going to be a looooooong two weeks!!!</p>
<p>Agreed @NYRicanGirl, a verry long two weeks. Anyone else here put Greater Newark region as their highest preferred region?</p>
<p>Not I… I listed Connecticut as my highest preferred :-)</p>
