Teach for America 2015 Corps

@SCTFA2015 I wouldn’t lose hope. I submitted mine mid-February and they were just verified under a week ago. If you submitted them only a week ago, they probably just haven’t gotten to it yet. No use speculating or getting down about it yet! :slight_smile:

@SCTFA2015‌ i feel the same way, somewhat. but i would AT THE VERY LEAST give it through tomorrow. but you should hold out hope until decision day. that’s what i am going to do. a lot of people get their documents verified quickly, yes. but a lot of them also show up a day or two before decision day. they HAVE to have caught on to this by now, and i’m sure they’re working to fix this glitch. it seems like TF updates are showing up less and less often as the deadlines go by.

we still have a chance :). and if we don’t then there are other options. if we’re doing this for the right reasons it’s because we believe what is being done to these kids is appalling and that it is something that we can all work toward changing. and there are other ways of doing that if tfa doesn’t work out.

and @TFA5thDL2015‌, i would email them about your transcript maybe? could be that it’s just really convincing lol. maybe they haven’t noticed yet.

My documents just went to verified. I know it isn’t a for sure, but I have butterflies!!!

reading through the 2014 forum, or trying to. It’s kind of a lot…
Is someone suppose to reach out to us at some point between the interview and acceptance if we get it?

Ok… I haven’t commented in at least a week because I was so nervous about the results of my interview and watching everyone on here commenting about changes in TF status… I interviewed Monday, March 2nd and had all of my TF documents in by 3/5… have been (borderline obsessively) checking tf status daily and seeing absolutely nothing - untilnow! It is still under review but now the documents have a yes beside them!.. maybe, just maybe, there is still hope! :slight_smile:

@summersky2015 and @marydee‌ thanks so much for the kind words! I’m just not going to look anymore lol
@chellepepper‌ yayyy! That’s ususlly a good sign! When did you submit your TF application?

3/5, but I updated my documents yesterday to include my 2014-2015 FAFSA instead of my income tax return.

@chellepepper‌ did they ask you to do that or do you just do it on your own? also, what does your last name start with?? we are going to figure out this stupid order hahaha

i just did it on my own because my tax return was kind of messy since I use an online company. My last name starts with an M. I submitted my survey 3/10.

The survey about your final interview?

We’re not at the point where anyone should lose hope!!! Some people’s docs didn’t get verified until the day before, and for a FEW the day of. Keep hope alive guys

yes, my survey about my final interview. I’m not sure if that counts, but I through it in just in case.

Also, @chellepepper‌ I don’t believe so, a lot of people got emails from their recruiters if they had them right before the Big Day. And some people, like me, got communications from TF people asking for additional docs, but no TRUE communications.

Ahh. I see. yeah, I see. Thank you, @aprilmatt1113. I am trying not to get too excited. People had docs verified, then rejected. And…I did pretty terribly on my final interview. But as she pointed out, it was only a small portion of our overall impression.

well now i am going to go fill out that stupid survey haha. i forgot all about it. i doubt it does anything, but i’m willing to try anything at this point.

Oh. I just saw that “participation is voluntary” I doubt it matters.

It’s not anonymous though, they send the portion about your interviewer to them, so they know where they need to improve and what not.

I doubt it matters either, but it was worth a shot. and they DID ask about the importance of knowing your TF on decision day and it ISN’T anonymous… so if i get verified tomorrow we’re putting this hypothesis to bed haha. we shall see if it matters.

hey guys! I’ve created a google doc for us to update so that it is easier to navigate and get the picture; rather than going back through threads/posts/etc.
