@futuretfa15: that is great news! when did you interview? and did you also get the invitation to the event that happened earlier today regarding The Corps Experience: Into the Future???
I interviewed last Wednesday and I did get an invitation to the event
@futuretfa15: oh okay thanks. Seems like everything is going nicely for you. I’m jealous …
Lol… I’m trying not to get my hopes up yet. It’s still really early!
@futuretfa15 from everything i read that is not ALWAYS a sign of acceptance, but it does seem to be most of the time. so probably congrats! nothing on my end yet, but i interviewed last Friday, so fingers crossed it happens for me soon!
Hey there!
I’m new to the board. I am a fifth deadline applicant. I interviewed last Thursday. I don’t think it went very well. I was so nervous. I think the only thing I had going for me was that I volunteered to go first and took part in the discussion, not only as a commentator, but a facilitator to those who weren’t speaking up. As for my interview, my interviewer actually said, are you nervous, because this is going really fast…I felt that she was implying I wasn’t answering her questions thoroughly enough.
My TF funding still isn’t verified. I got invited to the Into the Future event, but couldn’t attend. Didn’t everyone get an invite?
@chellepepper: Yes, I think maybe everyone did get invited to the event. I was just trying to convince myself that it was a good sign. lol. I’m a hopeless TFA wannabe at the moment, so I’m trying to stay positive. haha.
And, holy crap! That e-mail scared the crap out of me. It was the final interview survey. lol.
Hey, It was cool. Basically it was a discussion with alumni of the program. It was nice to hear from each of their perspectives and pathways to economic equity. For example, one alum had been teaching for 13 years and another completed their 2 year corp and transitioned into TFA staff. It was another event that makes you fall in love all over again lol. @TFA5thDL2015 @marydee
I know, right!! I was hoping it was something to do with my TF, which meant that they were at least looking at it. But no…just the survey.
Next Thursday seems an eternity away!
Omg I am so glad I got on here first or I would have had a heart attack. Urgh all I want is TFA. Don’t let me down!
Anyone else applied for TF and have a verified status? I wish I had never found out about that. I’m going to be obsessed with checking it.
Hi, found this thread looking for info on what Transitional Funding covers, and now I have a new thing to worry about, my TF Status. I was a 5thDLr, had a phone interview and completed my Final Interview on last Wednesday. My TF status says verified next to both document categories, but my status is still Under Review, they did have me submit some extra info, including my mom’s tax return as well as information about my job status and how much money I was making at the time, that information has now been placed in my TF tab as well. Is having docs verified but the status still saying Under Review a bad thing? I’m extremely nervous right now.
From what I’ve read, it is a good sign that they are even reviewing it. I mean why bother if they aren’t going to accept you? It isn’t a guarantee, but it is better than never having it change at all (which has been to some people who weren’t accepted.)
No TF changes here yet, but I also had the last interview slot on Friday, so it makes sense that mine would change last
8 days!!
Hi you guys! I’m new to this, but my TF status says complete but none of my documents were verified. should I be worried?? I’m freaking out because my TF status doesn’t even say under review! My final interview was last Wednesday. It was a virtual interview and I completed my TF application on the 5th of March…the last deadline. I’ve been going crazy checking my TFA status it’s good to know I’m not the only one! :-S
Well, most people whose TF Status says complete have gotten in from my reading of last years and the year before s thread so, it seems like a good sign
@SCTFA2015 The TF status on your TF page not your status page
This will be the longest 8 days of my life.
Although it does seem like a lot of the earlier DL’s TF Status never changed for the 2015 Corps, or if it did, it flipped from Under Review to Complete back to Under Review and then back to complete on the day of notification. So maybe The TF Staff might have finally realized that we’ve caught on to the pattern.
Ok thanks @marydee I was looking at the wrong status! Mine is currently under review!
