The online application computes a numerical score for every application. Any score exceeding the threshold results in a phone and/or final interview.
The application scoring algorithm rewards points for the typical admissions stuff (SAT, GRE, GPA, etc. etc.) Just as important as the admissions-y stuff is the TFA traits they test for.
Always highlight experiences you've had that exhibit the following traits:
-leadership
-goal-setting
-ability to find yourself at fault to fix a problem
-ability to thrive from adversity
-tolerance of different views
-helping others out of a love for humanity
These types of traits are very intentionally coded into the possible answers you can choose from in the application.
Know that you're selling your brand when you're applying to TFA... while knowing that your brand really means their's.

The interview was very different from most interviews but I was definitely well-prepared with the resources that TFA had offered in preparation. My interviewer was very nice and it often felt like a conversation between us about whatever question was asked which was nice.

You had to complete a demo in front of other candidates as well as recruiters. The demo itself was short and you had flexibility in what you “taught” for your lesson.
