<p>For any future applicants who care, here is what a rejection looks like:</p>
<p>Dear ______,</p>
<p>Thank you very much for your interest in Teach For America and for the time and effort you invested in interviewing with us. I am very sorry to inform you that, after careful consideration of your candidacy, we will not be extending you an offer to join the 2014 corps.</p>
<p>We know that all applicants invited to a final interview display potential. When reviewing applications, we look for individuals whom we believe best exhibit some of the traits we’ve found in our most successful teachers. We use your application, online activity, transcripts, online recommendation forms, phone interview, and all parts of the interview day as lenses through which to view evidence related to our set of admissions criteria. These criteria have been developed over time and help us identify those most likely to be successful in our particular program.</p>
<p>As you heard on your final interview day, Teach For America is just one path to work toward educational equity. We hope that you will consider other organizations that share our commitment to this work. To assist you in your pursuit, we encourage you to visit our interactive opportunity guide where you can explore other non-profit organizations, discover new teaching programs, and learn about opportunities in your region. If you agreed to our partner release on the application, you may be hearing from some of our partner organizations about other opportunities in the educational reform movement.</p>
<p>Finally, I am sorry that we will not be able to provide individual feedback on admissions decisions. We understand that this can be frustrating given the amount of effort you have invested in your application. While we wish we could give specific feedback to all applicants, unfortunately, we do not have the resources to handle the volume of potential requests. Although this email may bring disappointment, I hope that your experience with Teach For America thus far has been positive. If you would like to share any anonymous feedback on our admissions process, we welcome your reflections and suggestions here.</p>
<p>Again, thank you for the energy you invested in our admissions process. I wish you the best in your future endeavors.</p>

<p>TF status is definitely not necessarily an indicator if you got in or not. I got my hopes up too high because everyone telling me I would get it because of the TF status and because of being a minority. I really wanted this and my friend who didn’t truly want it got in. 
Congrats I wish you all the best ! God bless you all</p>

Subject and Location: High School Chemistry, Phoenix, AZ</p>
<p>I have no idea why they gave me Chemistry. I haven’t studied any science since I was 16 (I grew up in the UK) and I ranked the sciences as my least preferred. I’m certainly intrigued though and will very probably accept it even if they can’t change the subject. </p>
<p>I am super thrilled right now.</p>
