@aprilmatt1113: yes, my status was complete at one time. When I first got on the board I misreported bc I mistook my main page green “complete” as what you all were talking about, but my status definitely changed to the real “complete” for a few days like a week ago. Now it is back to “under review” with all docs verified.
@TFA5thDL2015: I hope you aren’t serious!!! We have no idea who is getting in yet! This TF thing is just speculation to pass the time, and I honestly kind of doubt that it is a true indicator.
so I’ve been stalking this discussion for weeks now and I finally gave in and made an account because I’m so nervous about tomorrow! same as pretty much all of you, my TF documents are verified but it still says under review. I keep telling myself I’ll stop checking until tomorrow but I can’t help myself!
Hello fellow TFA prospects. Thought I would join in at the last minute so I could spend the next 24 hours stressing out in good company. Here’s hoping we all get some fabulous news tomorrow!! 
It is almost exactly 24 hours. I am so nervous!! I can’t shake the feeling that I am not going to get in. I have some other things in the works, but I would be monumentally disappointed. I would accept any placement they give me, it doesn’t even have to be my special circumstances request.
Welcome @DreamToTeach and @wayohhh23 we’re excited to stress out with you guys!!! @chellepepper I would still take my placement, because I’m excited to make a change and it would still be an awesome experience, I just am worried about it being a little difficult with me being a single mom, all three of my most preferred are close to some family members.
I completely understand, @aprilmatt1113. Your family helps to offset the cost of day care? That is how it is for us here in Hawaii, but if we were to get somewhere else, my fiance would just be a stay at home dad. That isn’t ideal, obviously because supporting three on 35k a year will be difficult, but I am happy he is being supportive of my goals.
Welcome! It’s so hard to focus on anything ANYTHING else right now, I am sure you all know what I mean. I keep going from “sure I am in, I can feel it!” to “who am I kidding?” Ugh!
As soon as my baby wake up from his nap, Im going on a hike. I have to step away from the computer.
@unicorncat91: haha. no, I was kidding. i’m a big kid now (or at least i hope so) and can handle bad news. lol.
@gggggg: believe me, I have been boxing with the idea of “sure, i’m getting rejected… but wait… there’s a slighhhhht chance that mayyyy not be true. but then again, my TF hasn’t changed… yes, i’m definitely getting rejected”. story of my life for the past 1.5 week.
@chellepepper Yes they do, I put the info in my special circumstances, but they don’t have to utilize it. I wish that when/if they reject you they had the resources and time to let you know why.
I know the feeling @chellepepper I have two children and am riding on the notion that their dad will have to stay home with them at least for a while, if I get accepted, I know we can manage though. I will be happy just to be accepted!
I wish they would tell us too.
I COMPLETELY agree with @TFA5thDL2015 and @MoLoveMoGrowth “if you are unhappy about your placement or subject area, remember that others like me had wished to be in your position. so, take it, accept it, be glad you got offered, and run with it!” Applying for TFA I knew I had to be flexible. I spoke with my spouse about it and we both came to an agreement of over 5 places that we can move to for his work. We also agreed that other places that were put on my application may have potential and would be researched if I was accepted and received those locations.
I have lost all hope as of today. I am trying to focus on homework and my spouse’s birthday. I feel so bad because I have been nothing but depressed and have been causing unnecessary arguments between us.
Does anyone know if the rejection letter is sent to our email or is it in our applicant center?
I look forward to being happy for everyone else!!
I’m not even trying anymore to stop myself from checking the TF page… I’m just too anxious and it’s making me feel better. I just really want this!! I’ve been envisioning myself accepted for so long that it would be awful to get let down. Then again, I remember being nervous about moving onto even the phone interview so I feel proud that we’ve all come this far. Like people are saying, I would be super grateful for ANY placement even my least preferred, heck even if it wasn’t on my pref sheet at this point.
i think the fact that i have TNTP as a back up is making me so much less nervous. i have had no TF activity, so i’m probably going to be rejected. and that’s fine. i’m really happy i made it this far, because so many haven’t. it’ll sting, but that’s okay. everyone will end up in a place where they can make a difference.
so my advice, future applicants that are undoubtedly combing through this… don’t put all your eggs in the TFA basket. because if you don’t get in for some reason, it’s going to make it DEVASTATING instead of just upsetting. have a backup plan.
good luck guys! not too long now!
@MissHopeless it seems that the rejections usually come in email form. I don’t like people who immediately complain about their placements, in last year’s thread there were people who got accepted and immediately began saying how unhappy they were with their placement, and wondering how they could get it changed. I will take any placement I am offered, because it’s an excellent opportunity to make a REAL change, I am just hoping for one of my top three because my child needs the stability, he’s very young.
I finally completed my final interview survey. I thought it was weird that they asked about Transitional Funding – whether or not it would influence our decision if we do/do not receive funding.
I honestly think TFA will get more genuine answers if they make it COMPLETELY anonymous or have the deadline set past decision day. They say that it doesn’t influence their decision, but it makes me somewhat suspicious a tad bit. I’m sure that if someone wrote some negativities into their survey they would question that applicant’s acceptance. I don’t fully know, it’s just weird that they make it due the night before D-Day and not have it anonymous.
@marydee: i agree that everyone should have a Plan B no matter how much you’ve fallen for TFA. i will seriously cry either way tomorrow, so I’ll have some Kleenex next to me when I open that e-mail.
@Misshopeless: I also have experienced unnecessary stress/depression throughout the past couple of days, so let’s hang in there and hope all of the stress will go away after tomorrow.
@TFA5thDL2015 I definitely agree about the survey. Making it anonymous would certainly have given you a more honest response, and I certainly don’t understand why, if it doesn’t make a difference in acceptance or rejection, the survey has to be tuned in before notification day
If they could see how many times I checked my TF today I’m sure I would be blocked from the site. Oh man. Potentially having to wait the full 22 hours from now seems like forever! :-SS
