    I wonder how many people apply each month and how many they take.

    That is what I think I am going to do. Move my energy elsewhere, but first I just need to know that her application is being reviewed.

    Did any of you submit portfolio?

    That was so hard! It's hard to know what is enough above level. Then I had trouble committing to being done. Finally, I just couldn't stand it anymore and I sent it in. One day I thought this is perfect for us. Next day, I thought this is never going to happen for us. At this point I'm just glad it is out of the house.

    Which closet should I clean next?

    Shellymos, funny. Luckily we have many closets that are in desperate need of attention. Also I can share some garden weeding :-)

    Onthegomom, we did not submit a portfolio. But even just the description paragraphs were enough for me. One day it seemed perfect, the next day like not enough. I am also glad that it is out of the house.
    Good luck!

    Got the email, sent to review on the 16th. Now I can forget about it for a couple of weeks.

    We got it too. Complete and sent for review.
    I was just wondering how many applications do they get each month?
    Does anybody know. I know it probably changes from month to month, but just a ballpark number, anybody?

    I have no idea how many applications they average per month. Sorry.

    To accompany Dottie's info, I'll add that they take all applicants they consider eligible under their requirements. There's no limit to how many they will accept and no required number for a given month. Maybe that helps?
