<p>@ssadiesades - I’m a 2011 corps member. If you have any more questions about logistics, please let me know!</p>
<p>only 36 hours!!</p>
<p>going on that logic, it sounds like if our tf hasn’t updated at all by now, we’re not in :/</p>
<p>@wonderstruck08: I agree, I really like the information but at the same time I think I might just leave the forum till tomorrow night…its kind of disheartening to be reading about those whose status has already changed. </p>
<p>If the stats are right then I can already assume that I am not in as my status has not changed at all since I put the information in over a month ago. So, I think I will take my leave and return tomorrow night with the good (more like negative) news. Good luck everyone.</p>
<p>KnickyG & others – actually, I think the TF is kind of a funny thing. if it changes, you’re almost definitely in; but if it doesn’t change, it doesn’t mean you’re not in, from what I’ve found. in earlier deadlines and last year, people’s TFs were still changing hours
and even minutes before notification–and some people really did find out about their TF at the same time as acceptance notification. So, try not to
get too disheartened – we’re clearly all qualified, driven people, and we will know soon enough :)</p>
<p>I know it’s not quite time for this yet, but since I’m getting so excited/apprehensive about tomorrow night, I figured I’d post this now. This is what earlier DLs have done in order to have their experiences prove useful to later DLs and later years. 
:)</p>
<p>Accepted/Rejected
Final Interview date
Applied for transitional funding? (Yes/No)
If yes, was there a change to Complete (if there was, list the date when the changes occurred)
If accepted, also post the region you were assigned to and grade level/subject you’ll be teaching</p>
<p>this is why I did not do the TF application, I did not want the status changes to affect my excitement for tomorrow! Calm down, relax, stay positive you never know!!!</p>
<p>I’m with fm307707 and a couple others who mentioned intentionally delaying the TF application. Mine is done but not complete. I just need to upload the required documents. I don’t want to go through the trouble of doing so if I don’t get in. </p>
<p>Also, about the 60% reapplicant post, I thought the same about his saying “my corps” and thought, he’s obviously not talking about the entire TFA corps but I also was thinking that there seems to be so much consistency throughout the application process that I wouldn’t think that all regions would be admitting similar percentages of everything (whether that be first or second time applicants, people out of undergrad, people of particular socioeconomic backgrounds, etc). But I do agree with what others had said about that number just not feeling right. So, it is what is and I will not stress that part of it. </p>
<p>It sucks that we are only a day away from notification but it’s really like two because we have to get through two work days. But hey, I’ll take that over next week :-)</p>
<p>I didn’t submit any TF stuff–I figured that TFA doesn’t need all of that personal info unless they accept me!</p>
<p>Have you guys been experiencing a few hours of TFA free worry, but then jolted back into reality when you remember? I did that last night with a friend (also a TFA 5dl) and then when I woke up this morning to find my dog had thrown up (yuck, but a great distraction).</p>
<p>31 hours. Going to the studio early to be productive / occupied!
Happy Wednesday!</p>
<p>@nyricangirl-I’m a little confused. What do u mean when u say u dont think all regions would admit similar percentages of everything? Are you saying that you are not skeptical of the 60% or are you? Lol.</p>
<p>I haven’t submitted the documents either, I will just wait and see if I get accepted or not…</p>
<p>It helps a bit because I don’t have more to worry for now. I need to find a way to get my mind out of it so tomorrow comes faster :)</p>
<p>Educatedbrotha, it means I’m highly confused, lol!!! Seriously, part of me is like, if it’s 60% for his region, then it should be 60% for all regions. But then, that doesn’t seem right at all. Especially, considering some of the points that you and others brought up. So for now, I will disregard that little piece of information that made it seem like the chances of me getting in are slim to none. </p>
<p>I have so much work to do and can’t focus!</p>
<p>@nyricangirl-I totally agree with you! I feel the same way. So much to do but I can only focus on notification day. That blog post really sucked lol.</p>
<p>Scheduling a job interview for today was actually a great decision. I feel pretty confident that I will be offered a position with that company, so if I do not get selected for TFA, my alternative is looking pretty awesome. A day and a half left!</p>
<p>Gahhhh I’m trying to distract myself, but I just keep thinking about TFA. I’m going to keep myself far away from my email tomorrow.</p>
<p>Good job wonderstruck! Having back ups definitely does help with nerves, huh?</p>
<p>Good luck, wonderstruck08!</p>
<p>And as I was thinking about the blog post today, it reminded me of the episode of How I Met Your Mother that had Carrie Underwood guest-starring as a girl who kept stringing Ted along. Particularly the “we’re just not sure you’re right for us right now” line in the post: just like people who reject you with a “I don’t want a relationship with you,” and then open the slammed door a crack with a “… right now” line. Haha, just a fun connection as we wait!</p>
<p>i havent been on here in a while, i’ve been swamped with TFA stuff ever since I accepted the offer. Anyway good luck to all you 5DL applicants!!!</p>
<p>Educatedbrotha, yeah, that blog really did suck! </p>
<p>Wonderstruck, good luck!</p>
<p>Waltzindreams, good comparison! Seriously, don’t know how people could go through this more than once. </p>
<p>oa0176, damn… sounds overwhelming. </p>
<p>26.5 hours to go! LOL</p>
<p>So, I’m going a little bit crazy at this point… twenty-six hours, but kind of twenty-four since apparently people started to hear around five pm in previous DLs. So anyways let’s play more get to know you games!
where’d you all hear about tfa? what was your major/minor/etc/whatever? are you in college still or coming to tfa from somewhere else?</p>
<p>ok, so, me! i studied abroad last semester, during which time i began to seriously consider the peace corps. once i came back and did some research into the issues related to young women being alone in “third world” countries i decided to look into other options, at least for the time being. so that led me to tfa. in school i am majoring in political science, and i’m a graduating senior so i’ll be heading straight into tfa if i’m accepted. :)</p>
