<p>Guys, I am still in shock I was accepted!!! Do you think the institute locations will be the same as last year???</p>
<p>Accepted/Rejected/Waitlisted: ACCEPTED</p>
<p>Final Interview Date and Location: BOSTON OCT. 14</p>
<p>Invited Directly to Final Interview/Phone Interview first?: DIRECTLY TO FINAL</p>
<p>Elementary in Memphis! Memphis was my last choice (but only high priority) so I’m honestly not sure what to do. I’ve been looking for others who got placed in Memphis but haven’t seen anyone, so please let me know if you were!</p>
<p>@teacherhope123 I actually had Memphis as my #1 choice! I was so excited to work there so I was a little surprised when I found out I was assigned to Detroit. From what I hear, Memphis is an amazing city. I’ve heard its like a city with a “small town feel.” So I think you’ll do great over there! What are you concerned about? Is the travel distance too much for you?</p>
<p>@juliaf9 so am I!! I would imagine most of the institute locations will be the same…can’t wait to find out more details! I’m weirdly excited for institute even though the schedule looks insane.</p>
<p>Has anyone successfully logged in to TFA Net??</p>
<p>Hi–Just joined this forum, and am in the midst of the TFA app process. Am sooo upset. I ran out of time on the 30 minute timed portion of the online activity portion. Has this happened to anyone? I have phone interview tomorrow and am worrying that I am already out of the running for blowing this! (Though I think I did fine with the short answers.)</p>
<p>@townie01: I haven’t been able to get on!</p>
<p>And I talked to the staff member that called me about institute. I’ll either be at Mississippi Delta or Atlanta. They’re hoping Delta, since it’s so close/similar to Louisiana Delta. Hope to see some of y’all there! If anyone wants to talk more or connect, feel free to message me on here. I may not check this as much in the future.</p>
<p>@jtenglish I finished my timed portion of the online activity, however I thought I did horrible on it. I felt I did not have enough time to answer the questions to the best of my ability because I had a 30 time frame. I am not sure how much the online activity weighs, or if it is just merely something they use to understand where you many need improvement. With that being said, I was accepted into the 2014 corps, despite thinking I did bad on it.*</p>
<p>Good luck though!! Don’t stress to much!! **</p>
<p>@jtenglish I wouldn’t worry too much about it. I didn’t finish either. I think the interviews, the final and the phone are weighed the most. So just make sure you prepare as much as you can for the phone interview. Make sure you familiarize yourself with TFA’s mission and you can speak to the impact that you had or will have on young students. I don’t know if this is true for everyone or not, but the online activity was not required for me to go onto the final interview. I was sent directly to the final and I had to make sure I completed the activity by a certain date. So I don’t think it matters that much. I feel like its mainly there so they can have a better idea of the complete you at the very end of the final interview and they make their recommendations for admittance into the corps.</p>
<p>And for everyone who’s going through the application process, PLEASE contact your recruiters for advice. They know the process firsthand and some of them actually have to “grade” applications. So if you are in a region with a recruiter, or if a recruiter contacted you, make sure you use them as a resource. It makes a huge difference between those who had help, and those who did not.</p>
<p>Hi everyone! </p>
<p>Is anyone else having trouble logging into TFANET? Perhaps its because of my university email address? Which username/password are we supposed to use?</p>
<p>@townie01 and @zadie92, I had a lot of trouble initially losing in to TFA net. You need to be using either chrome or Firefox. You may also need to clear your cookies. The login is the same as for the applicant center. </p>
<p>The location for Oklahoma institute had changed this year. They are doing their own in OKC instead of with everyone else in Tulsa. OKC is now on a continuous calender so that will be really interesting.</p>
<p>Hey I have a question for everyone. Were you contacted by someone from your assigned region before or after you accepted your offer? I want to wait a little bit before I accept, but I still want to talk to someone and get some more information about the Institute before I make a decision.</p>
<p>@Rolemodel32: I got an email on the 31st right after I found out letting me know some welcome info and telling me that someone would be calling me the next day during a certain time period. So it was all pretty quick for me, but that may be because I’m in such a small region. They said they only have 4 staff people for the subregion, and they’re only planning on taking 25 corps members this year!</p>
<p>Ok thanks!!! I was told that every region communicates differently but with all this talk of TFAnet, I feel a little left out haha!</p>
<p>I just tried logging into TFA Net through Chrome & Firefox, and cleared my cookies. Still not working :(</p>
<p>@elemteacher same! I reached out to tfa net support today and hopefully will get a response by tomorrow. I will let you know what they say!</p>
<p>@jtenglish Don’t sweat the online activity too much. I panicked when I realized after completing the online activity that I misheard one of the statements in the video in the untimed portion, and one of my written answers was based on that… but, hey, I still got in! There are so many different ways that TFA measures applicants - the interviews, recs, essays, sample teach, etc - that just ONE aspect of it shouldn’t break you if you rock everything else. :)</p>
<p>Hey 3DL friends! So I finished that online activity Sat afternoon and STILL has not shown up as submitted! Starting to freak out a little bit since the deadline is tonight! I emailed the Help people, haven’t gotten a response!! I know a few of you had the problem earlier. Anyone hear anything about solving this little glitch or is anyone’s showing that it is submitted? Thanks!</p>
<p>TFANet still not working for me and haven’t heard from anyone in my region either :(</p>
