<p>Hey guys!</p>
<p>TFAAMAN, thanks for encouraging us to check our status. I checked mine and unfortunately, rejected.</p>
<p>Some words… Not to sound bitter or angry or cocky but I am the epitome of what TFA says they want… I am the first in my family to graduate high school. I attended poor public schools my entire life. I essentially come from the exact backgrounds as those children that TFA seeks to help thus making me an ideal candidate. Not to mention I worked while earning my BA because my family did not have money to put me through school. It took me six years to get my BA and despite several obstacles, I finished. I went on to attend graduate school and am currently in the process of completing my MA. And still, did not get in. At my interview, I stressed my passion for educational equity and essentially told the interviewer that I wanted this because those kids are me 25-30 years ago. </p>
<p>Oh, and another thing… one of my students (I’m also a TA at a large public university) got in. Maybe they have a preference for students straight out of undergrad. </p>
<p>Anyway, don’t mean to be a downer. Figured I’d put it all out there in case others were curious as to what kind of people get rejected. </p>
<p>Congrats to all of you who have been accepted! And best of luck to all of those that have yet to hear.</p>

<p>Just checked and…Rejected. I kind of knew I would be though since they kept pushing for me to illustrate more “leadership” positions in the interview…but, well, I just haven’t had all that many chances at leadership. Well, this just means now that I know what to expect and I know what to work on I can try again for next year! </p>
<p>CONGRATULATIONS!!! To everyone who got in, I know you all will be AWESOME at what you do. I wish you all the best of luck and that no matter how hard the road gets that you keep on trucking, YOU are and AGENT OF CHANGE!</p>
