<p>@dreamintfa15 try not to stress out about it!!! TFA continues to verify documents up until and even on notification day! </p>

<p>Is everyone who was once complete on the transistional funding page still under review? </p>

<p>Yes mine is @thatgirl502</p>

<p>I’m just ready to get a notification already :-S I just hope this means we’re in like in previous years </p>

<p>Mine is too @thatgirl502</p>

<p>I’ve got so much on my mind rn, that I’ve been spacing on TFA. Which is good since my birthday is tomorrow so I’ll be able to have some fun, regardless if I get in, and hopefully won’t be too hung over for acceptance day.
I really hope they give us our top choices, I’d really like to stay close to home, and my advisor said that getting in during the first round meant you most likely get your top choice. </p>

<p>Does anyone know if a spreadsheet exists so we can see all our information in an organized way? I read all of last year’s forum and they had a “survey” they all filled out upon recieving notification which included when and if their TF documents had gone to complete, if they had done a phone interview or not, etc. If all of that were put into one document it would be great to see everyone’s data at once.</p>

<p>If one doesn’t exist would you all like one? I can make a public google doc (never done it but can’t be too hard) and we can all put our info in. I’m sure some of you are dying to see data in a spreadsheet as much as I am.</p>

<p>All right I’ll take the two “likes” that post has gotten as a go ahead. Can anyone tell I’m a bit eager?</p>

<p>Here’s what I’ve got for columns, tell me what you think.</p>

<p>CC Screen Name/Other Alias
Name (If you want to share)
Accepted/Rejected
Region
Level and Subject
Final Interview Date and Location
Direct to Final/Phone Interview?
Applied for TF?
Date Docs Uploaded
Docs Verified? Y/N
If yes, date
How many times TF status complete?
Date 1
Date 2
Regional Prefs 1-5
Other</p>

<p>Some of it I’m debating how to best put the info into a spreadsheet. The “How many times complete” is for those people who go from complete to under review and (hopefully) back to complete. Then a column for the date each time.</p>

<p>Does all of that make sense? Anything you would add or change? Would you like to see a hometown or home state, or maybe a column for email if you want to get in touch with people placed in your region?</p>

<p>I am so nervous. The first time around, I knew I wouldn’t get it because I had such a bad teaching sample and group session. This time around, I just truly do not know. One minute I feel confident, the next I feel like maybe it won’t happen. I’m praying I get it. Two days from now I will know for sure.</p>

<p>@thatgirl502 my TF status is still “under review” with all of my documents still verified. </p>

<p>Anyone know what time we are supposed to be notified of acceptance/rejection on Thursday? I thought it was 6pm, but I don’t remember for sure.</p>

<p>Why do u say the first group discussion went bad? Do u know what they are looking for during the discussion? I’m really nervous about that part @dhqpat</p>

<p>@blakej89 I think @dhqpat meant that this is the 2nd time he/she is applying to TFA</p>

<p>Did anyone get asked about their online activity during the interview?</p>

<p>@blakej89‌ I did. It was a bit strange. I felt like I was repeating exactly what I had written in the online activity. I guess in a little more detail though.</p>

<p>I did it kinda made me feel like I didn’t do well on my online activity </p>

<p>Any updates on TF statuses ? </p>

<p>Not too much longer!!</p>

<p>Thinking of y’all.</p>

<p>I didn’t get asked about my online activity but I felt like my interview was super short. The questions were more generic and less specific about my own experiences </p>

<p><a href=“https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gXQf3bV2XM8nenAn2KFVv4zDlnHEdQFmIM1GrIAvZag/edit?usp=sharing”>https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gXQf3bV2XM8nenAn2KFVv4zDlnHEdQFmIM1GrIAvZag/edit?usp=sharing&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>All right, here’s the link to the spreadsheet I made. Feel free to fill in the info you have now and then we can continue updating as new info comes in.</p>

<p>Let me know if you’d like to add or clarify anything, or if there are any logistical issues. I think when you open the doc you have to click “Sheet 1” down at the bottom. </p>

<p>I did not get asked about my online activity, but essentially got very similar questions to my phone interview for the most part. </p>

<p>Tomorrow can’t come fast enough. @cholt5‌ I’m pretty sure 6, but given everything else has come earlier than stated, I would put money on that being the case again. </p>

<p>I was asked about my online activity, but I felt it was extremely constructive. He basically gave me a chance to expand upon it, which I enjoyed. My interviewer also commented that he really enjoyed reading it.</p>

<p>Looks like the previous link isn’t working. I made the document completely public (rather than link only) so hopefully that will fix it. Let’s try again:</p>
