Hi folks I am still waiting till next week to hear a decision back from the NYC Fellowship program if I have been initially accepted or not and since they said it would be a four week wait and next Tuesday ( February 9th ) is the end of the four weeks how long should I wait till I contact them to get an answer if I don’t hear anything back from them? Thanks ---

Is this the New York Teaching Fellowship? Because my guess is that they want candidates who know how to write in sentences. ---

You seem to have an excellent temperament for managing a horde of hyperactive tweens. I think you’ll do fine. ---

Based on what you’ve written here (both style and substance), I sincerely hope you’ve not been accepted. Better a smart ass than a dumb ass. ---
