Teach for America

In addition to working toward a career in teaching through my studies at Lehigh University, I have also applied to Teach for America.

In January, I applied for the 4th deadline to join the 2012 Teach for America corps. I managed to skip the phone interview round and be invited directly to a final interview. When I got my official acceptance to Lehigh's College of Education for my 5th year, I immediately contacted TFA admissions. I still really wanted to join TFA, but I hoped that I would be able to transfer my application to the 2013 corps application pool. The fabulously helpful individuals who work for admissions at TFA said it was not a problem to move me. They just transferred my application and pushed my final interview into the last application deadline pool.

I had my final interview in March, and in just one week from now I get to hear their decision. I think the interview went very well, but I'm still nervous. I know how competitive the corps is. I'll update about it as soon as I get a response.
