I just joined CC to add to this discussion.
My TF status was updated today. I have one N/A and two YES. I was emailed because one of my documents needed verification. In the email it stated that they will not be able to offer me an award without this information. This made me a little hopeful because why would they need to offer me an award if I was not being accepted. I do not want to get my hopes up, but that did make me feel a little better. I am so anxious!!! AHHHH!
@fingerscrossedt Hello and welcome to the club! All of us are completely nerve wrecked! I cannot rememver the last time I felt so anxious. I also have a n/a besides one of my documents and as of this moment I haven’t received an email stating that I need to send in any others.
I emailed about the “N/A” status and someone assured me that they can see the documents on their end and it is verified it just doesn’t show up on our end for whatever reason. Hope this helps!
I have two “Yes” and one “N/A” as well now. Still no survey, but should be coming
So good to know the survey is still forthcoming and that I’m not forgotten. Anything else interesting on that online event? I was hoping they would post a video of it online like they’ve done before, but no dice.
Update: The survey link has been emailed and you should have access to it until the 23rd.
@Passion4People thank you so much for keeping us informed. I was very worried about the “n/a”
got the survey! completed it! I gave all pretty sunny responses cause honestly I’ve thought the process was very clear, well managed, and (except for the fact that waiting for something you want is torture for all humans) very positive over all. I may feel differently if I’m rejected, and I may have different thoughts then but clearly they want it completed BEFORE notification day lol
Alright submitted the survey as well. Less than a week. Nothing more to check or do but wait for the notification day. Wow!
So, I have a friend of a friend that is a TFA teacher and she said they only review TF apps after a person is accepted because the funding is based on the location you are placed at
Yeah we understand that to be the conventional wisdom and we’re all so hopeful! Just a little bit longer yall.
I’m still: 3 yes and under review
Fyi the corps size on the DC page now says 90. Either they corrected it, or they’re updating it as people accept their placements! Really not sure. If they’re updating as people accept, that’s pretty neat! They also updated the narative to indicate total size is 170 not 255. I think they are shrinking that region.
I decided that I am going to try to enjoy my weekend. Lol! I have spent all week obssesing over tfa and i decided that I will take the weekend off and start over on Monday!
Does anyone else have Orlando as a highly preferred? I do and I wanted to view information on it under the “Where We Work” tab, but they do not have information under that region?
I know I am a little late entering into this forum, but what are your highly preferred locations if you havent already stated them?
I have DC (1) Boston (2) Deleware (3)
But I know they say DC and Boston are very popular (and it looks like the DC corp size is possible being reduced?)
There are alot of people earlier in the threa who said they put/got Orlando! Look some pages back
Did see some more anecdotal evidence from people who said they had ‘yes’ but ‘under review’ and were rejected. ‘Owleye’ from the 2014 (which is really just the end of 2014 and still starts school August 2015) thread is an example.
Most people saw under review until the morning of… So basically if that changes that morning we may get a few hour ‘spoiler’ but at any rate I think time moves differently for this last deadline so let’s all keep hope.
@fingerscrossedt My highly preferred are (1) Orlando (2) Jacksonville (3) Miami (4) Richmond and (5)Charlotte. There were a few people earlier in the thread who was accepted and placed in Orlando. I tried to also find more information on Orlando but it is definitely very limited. I really really want Orlando! I just moved back home from Atlanta (Small town, South Georgia) and Orlando would be a welcomed change for myself and my children. I am worried about where institute will be located for Orlando. Nevertheless, it will be great!
@sleeplessgal101 I saw at least one person in the 2014 Corps thread that had documents verified, but was also rejected as well. shrugs I don’t know. I will just remain positive. It seems that the odds are in your favor if your documents have been verified. I will definitely know by Thursday!
Yeah it is pretty hard to find info about Orlando right now because it’s a new region. I hope you guys get Orlando because it’s an amazing place to live and you will be the first TFA teachers to leave a mark there. Exciting to think about! I lived right outside Orlando my whole life and I still love to visit. I put it as my #2 choice but I put Miami as my #1 because I will already be moving there regardless of acceptance/rejection and I filled out the special circumstances part of the form. My #3 was DC lol that’s cool we are all interested in pretty much the same places. I only filled out the preference form because we had to so no surprises for me hopefully.
@missleka we pretty much have the same preferred! Lol I have Miami, Orlando, Charlotte, and ️Jacksonville in my highly preferred. I currently live in Richmond though Lol
@fingerscrossedt Omg! That is crazy! I love it! Lol!
