Teach For America 2013 Corps

<p>My loan numbers are not there and never have been. The pressure is finally getting to me. I had a good phone interview, an excellent lesson, excellent group activity and then an okay interview. I think the interview did me in. I usually do well with interviews but the interviewer brought up something emotional for me and I got upset. I guess that showed weakness. :frowning: I just want this wait to be over.</p>

<p>Oh my gosh. I canā€™t stop refreshing the TF page hoping for something. I just reached out to my recruiter. Iā€™ll let you know!</p>

<p>I just looked at the thread from last year and most ppl saw numbers for TF update a couple minutes before their applicant center changed. Applicant center changed before the email. Now, thatā€™s not to say we should be refresh junkies tomorrow, but just a tidbit. Looks like the magic started happening at 5 pm cst.</p>

<p>This thread will definitely reach the 50 page mark lolā€¦</p>

<p>OMG they are looking at my TF now! They just put in my loan amounts and it says they are verifying! Maybe more of us will see change soon!</p>

<p>My amounts are all there, but it says ā€œN/Aā€ for all the documents in the Documents Verified column. Anyone else see N/Aā€™s?</p>

<p>Also, this is hilarious and I really needed a laugh today! [2</a> Hamsters 1 Wheel - YouTube](<a href=ā€œ- YouTubeā€>- YouTube)</p>

<p>Recruiter says she is unsure of a correlation because TF packages go under review at various times. </p>

<p>Argh. At least things are currently happening? No need to give up hope my fellow under reviews.</p>

<p>Also @OKTFA2013 - thank you. Very much needed.</p>

<p>My recruiter said that they get the news (acceptance/rejection) at the same time that we do.</p>

<p>Also, by numbers, I meant their actual grant and loan allowances.</p>

<p>(Dear 2014 applicants, we feel your pain. I hope we provide some entertainment as your scour our conversations though!) :)</p>

<p>LOL @crazygood31</p>

<p>I think College Confidential beat facebook this week. I truly has been an entertaining two weeks. I just downloaded outlook to my phone to keep an eye on my email all day long.</p>

<p>24 hours to go!!! Good luck everybody</p>

<p>My stomach is in knots!!! 24 hours everyoneā€¦I feel like this whole process has flown by. Nov 2nd applicantsā€¦Good luck! If youā€™re like the rest of us Iā€™m sure youā€™ll read this thread over and over again along with 2012.</p>

<p>Keep calm!</p>

<p>I received the same email. I specifically said I heard from previous and prospective corps members that under review means rejection. I want to write back asking why some have complete but alas, Iā€™ll just wait it out. Here was the response:</p>

<p>Thanks for reaching out to us. Your application will show ā€œunder reviewā€ until Notification Day. At that point your award will be available assuming you are admitted to the corps. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
Best,

<p>Soooooooo did anyone imagine being a teacher would be this brutal especially for the pay they receive lolā€¦</p>

<p>Dallas/FTW which is the region I applied to, actually has salaries on the higher end of the scale but I imagine with all the supplies and the certification costs, the difference doesnā€™t seem great.</p>

<p>@luvya683 I know right?? Every time my phone vibrates or I hear the ding for a new email my heart starts racing!! I canā€™t imagine what tomorrow will be like!</p>

<p>@Tkass87 iā€™m specifically talking about the process itself. The process is too brutal for the type of job (teaching) and pay (30,000-50,000). This is almost as bad as applying to law or medical school where the stakes are much higher.</p>
