Ugh I was hoping for news by now. My TF status has changed to complete though so I guess that’s something.
& idk, even if TFA changed it to where our TF page didn’t update, if they reached out to me for additional documents, I’m taking my hope and running with it haha. This entire waiting process since I submitted my application in early December has been torture. This tiny little (maybe) indicator a week and a half early has been a blessing. Of course, the overachievers that sought out this board are the only ones aware of this TF status thing. The majority of applicants probably haven’t thought much of it.
Another little trick people use is submitting an unofficial transcript. If you’re accepted, they’ll more than likely reach out to you for you to upload an official one. Even without TF page updates, there are ways to attempt to get a clue.
Try not to be so harsh on yourself @awesomebins you never know, maybe they’re still reviewing stuff! It’s the being in the dark that’s so difficult about all this
Hi all! I got an email from TFA asking how much I made in 2015. I’m guessing that that is a good thing. I doubt, on one of the busiest days of the year, that TFA would bother collecting more info unless I got in. I’m trying to stay cautiously optimistic.
I have such high hopes for you @awesomebins & you’ve been so cautious to be optimistic this whole time. I’m looking forward to your acceptance so I can be like “BOOYAH! We told you that you had nothing to worry about.” Haha.
@TFA2016AJ and @shellijax223 Thanks guys! I’m not a very optimistic person in general, but I really need to try to be more, especially if I want to work with TFA. Hoping for the best for everyone!!
I’ve literally placed all of my eggs into the TFA basket and have not considered other options outside of this. I even had to quit my job to focus on this process because my schedule would not have allotted me the time needed to get everything for TFA done. (Imagine how awkward that was at the interview when asked had I ever quit anything when I KNOW they’re looking for people that don’t quit haha).
I just need answers now. This is literally a make or break deal for me. I have no idea what I’m going to do if I don’t get accepted. I don’t even know where I’ll begin to piece myself back together. I’ve planned out my next few years based on being accepted. No is not an option.
Well, like my boyfriend said the other day when I was freaking out, “Rejection is God’s protection”. I’m really wishing the best for all of us and hope to see ALL ACCEPTED statuses in here when it’s finally time but even in the worst case scenario, we have to try to remember there’s still a life outside of this! But I really weeeaaallllyyyy hope we all get it!
I’ve been fasting and praying on it & I honestly felt led by Him to apply in the first place which is why I guess I put so much into this whole process. We will find out soon if this was His will. Thanks for your encouragement! @shellijax223
Crazy to think our decision was made a while ago & so many people know about our acceptance but we’re still in the dark.
