<p>Hey everyone! I’ve been keeping up with this thread since August and am finally deciding to post. I would have sooner, but I was afraid I might jinx myself-- I know that sounds pretty silly haha. </p>
<p>Anyways, I want to thank all of y’all for keeping me sane throughout this process-- reading all of your comments has been somewhat like therapy for me :)</p>
<p>Like everyone else has been saying, I am so nervous to find out whether or not I will be accepted tomorrow, and I know the time is going to pass by so slowly!! I wish everyone the best of luck and make sure y’all post tomorrow when you find out the news!</p>
<p>Since I haven’t been getting TFA notification e-mails, I e-mailed my recruiter and asked her if she could notify me tomorrow about the acceptance via e-mail or a phone call (mostly because checking through the TFA website makes me nervous!) She e-mailed back and said she wasn’t allowed to contact us with final results?? However, this doesn’t seem to be the case with many of the recruiters that you all have. Hmmm…</p>
<p>Good luck today everyone! I sincerely wish everyone the best. If it doesn’t go your way, remember that you’re an amazing person with great talent and immense passion and love for justice. I’m so glad that there are people like me out there that care so much about equality and are so, so selfless. My TFA journey has taught me a lot about myself and my strength, so I’m proud of myself regardless of what happens tomorrow. Wishing you all the best! Thanks for keeping me company during these neurotic last 2 weeks :)</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone!!! If I’m accepted then I’ll be excited if not, then I will continue the process of becoming a police officer to close the achievement gap that way lol. For those of you that will be teaching high school students please encourage them to stay out of trouble or else risk them being subjected to the criminal justice system.</p>
<p>I’m so nervous. I just got this horrible feeling that I’ve been rejected. I don’t want to chech my email while I’m at school,now, because I’ll probably cry if I am rejected. But I want to know so bad I can’t keep myself from checking all day. :-/</p>
<p>I’m sending positive vibes out to everyone today! Acceptance or not, we’re all bound to do really wonderful things. Chins up! Best of luck to us all :)</p>

<p>I registered for this site specifically to wish everyone well! I will also be on pins and needles all day…trying to not obsessively check my email and the TFA site.</p>
<p>Like many of you, I’m going to be a teacher no matter what - this would just be some job security for next fall! :)</p>
<p>Good luck to us all! I have so much work to do today so hopefully that will make today pass by quicker. I also can pretend that my birthday next week is what I’m anxious for but alas LOL…doesn’t seem to be working. </p>
<p>So, there’s an experiment that they teach you about in the social sciences about observational learning.</p>
<p>In short, they put rats in cages and put a button in the cage that when pressed, would release a shot of heroine to the rat. The rat would experience a sense of euphoria. Eventually the rat would figure out that the button was what caused the high and at that point, the heroine shots became fewer and the rat would have to push the button more times to get the heroine. It got to the point that the rats would spend allllll day in the corner of the cage pressing the button hoping to experience the high.</p>
<p>Anyone else feel like that’s how we’ll be today with the refresh button on the TFA site? haha</p>
<p>Anyone else have a rough time sleeping last night. I spent half of the night dreaming of reading an acceptance email and half the night thinking of the rejection email. For some reason my feeling is going lower and lower when thinking of the overall acceptance rate. At least today is the day, good or bad. Will be refreshing like crazy. Remember the template please. The more we do the template the more next years class will analyze it like we did the past threads. Plus it will help us determine if people who interviewed with us, or who have the same last name as us have been notified. Thank you, and good luck!</p>
<p>Accepted/Rejected
Final Interview date
First Letter of Last Name
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>Anyone off today like me? It is just me and my one year old hanging out. He is watching Bubble Guppies while I continually refresh my TF to see if any numbers show up and my status page. Sorry if I get annoying posting, but it is all I have to do today haha.</p>
<p>@TFACLE I slept like a rock last night! But I’m paying for it this morning. My stomach is in knots My body decided to save all my anxiety for waking hours.</p>
<p>Good luck today, everyone! I’m pulling for each and every one of you! I know we’ll all go on to do great things, no matter what. One of my interviewers said this to us, “Whether or not you get accepted, know this: you are the best of the best, and that’s why we wanted to learn more about you today. If anyone is capable of doing great things, it’s this group of people right here.” I thought that was just about the perfect thing he could say to us. :)</p>
