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