Teach for America 2016 Corps

I would like to start a thread for TFA 2016. I am really excited about applying, but am having difficulty deciding which deadline to choose since I am applying to other fellowships where results don’t come out until May at the latest. Does anyone have any advice?

Thanks!

This will be my 2nd time applying, I plan on applying to the 3rd deadline, due to my work schedule.

Hello! This will also be my 2nd time applying. I am really hoping to be accepted. I am planning on applying to the October 30th deadline.

Me too! @wishing16tfa … what year was your first year applying?

Last year I applied too! I’m hoping now to get my application in by Thursday. How about you?

I’m applying again this year as well. I already submitted my application for the first deadline.

Last year was my first year as well! If it wasn’t for not being able to take time off work, I would do an earlier deadline :frowning: Best Wishes!! Did you get it in? @wishing16tfa

Best wishes @TeachingTFA !!!

Thank you @MoLoveMoGrowth , I’m just waiting for the 17th!!

Hi just wondering what this program is? It sounds exciting

@paquetusepa This is Teach for America (TFA) :slight_smile:
Just one more day! I ended up applying for the 2nd deadline and don’t regret it one bit–it is definitely my first choice now. Good luck to everyone applying :slight_smile:

Hey you guys I just got my update I’ve been invited straight to the final interview round!!! So excited!!!

Congratulations @TeachingTFA!! :smiley:
I just scheduled an interview.

Thank you and congrats to you as well @musicsweetie!!

I had my interview yesterday, and for the most part, it went well. I just found it interesting that instead of asking me about my experience in education/with kids, they seemed to be more interested in my other “traditional” leadership roles in the Student Government.

Congrats! @TeachingTFA @musicsweetie !

Yea, they are really big on understanding how organized you are, as well as your leadership style

Hey all. Anyone still here? I had my final interview last week. Waiting anxiously until Nov. 4th!

Hey, how did your interviews go? I was JUST thinking about you all as I was working on my app. @HapticFever @musicsweetie @TeachingTFA @wishing16tfa

I had mines last week too. And it went well. I’m waiting for the 4th!!
