<p>How many on here were invited directly to a final interview? Does that make a difference in acceptance rate or is it the same?</p>
<p>Happy Halloween everyone. </p>
<p>It’s notification day. Sending my best to you all. Can’t wait for the news!</p>
<p>Wish me luck on my exams tomorrow and Friday.</p>
<p>so has anyone’s TF gone back to complete now that it’s official decision day on the east coast? ahhhh</p>
<p>@tfacareerchanger I had a phone interview. I believe that going straight to final inteview has no barring on acceptance. Although going straight to the final interview is a sign of confidence from TFA however what’s on paper does not always translate in person. I think at the point of the final interview it is an even playing field.</p>
<p>@TFAhopeful89 maybe that will be the case this year…ugh!</p>
<p>Still no change…urrrgghhhh</p>
<p>@amk1107 hope you do well!</p>
<p>I rather enjoyed my phone interview. I think I would have been a bit more anxious going into the final interview without having had it.</p>
<p>Good luck, amk1107!</p>
<p>@tfahopeful</p>
<p>thats been the standard response from them when any of us have emailed them questions about TF.</p>
<p>@amk1107 - good luck on your exams</p>
<p>@amk1107 Good luck!</p>
<p>Maybe they really did change things around this year! Ahh so stressful.</p>
<p>UGHHHH I’m starting to think so @elemteacher :/</p>
<p>@Elemteacher & explorer17</p>
<p>why do you think that?</p>
<p>@TeachForChange last year a lot of people’s statuses started becoming “Complete” at midnight on decision day! Has anyone’s changed/changed back?</p>
<p>@TeachForChange: Yeah, especially in the last deadline last year, their TF statuses started changing back to complete around 12:04 I think. So they may have fixed the glitch and made it so they really won’t change back until final notification! </p>
<p>I am SO anxious. And I’m worried I may have gotten my hopes up a little too bit because of my documents being verified, even though I told myself not to. Eek. I think I’m just going to try and go to bed now, and check things again in the morning. I will talk to you all later, and I can’t wait to hear all of the good news!</p>
<p>bye @ elemteacher</p>
<p>Turning in for the night. </p>
<p>I just spent the last 2 hours reviewing last years thread to see what was happening last year. But there was nothing new to learn from them…ugh.</p>
<p>My TF status still has not changed…fingers crossed for tomorrow…I dont work at all so I have a full day to obsess and refresh the pages until I get an answer.</p>
<p>I was hoping that getting straight to the final was a positive in terms of increased acceptance but now it seems as though a phone interview would have actually been helpful. Maybe the practice would have made the final go better. I keep overanalyzing the final and I can’t decide how I feel about it. One minute I think it’s good then the next, I’m sure horrible. I feel like my one on one interview was so incredibly short. Also though at the end my interviewer said “I’m really excited about your potential in Teach for America and I can’t see why you wouldn’t get in” BUT she did also say that she does not make the final determination and only puts info into a scoring rubric that then makes final determinations. Other people on here seem to indicate that their interviewer stated they were the ones making the final determination but mine did not say that.</p>
