Hi y'all, I'm also a Fulbrighter who has already been accepted in a Master's program at the US. Can anyone tell me about his/her experience with the J1 visa app? I'm kind of digging around to get the best info regarding the procedures. Although Fulbright gives me a lot of info about the process, there is nothing like other people's experiences to know how something works.

Hi everyone, this is a very interesting discussion on which I would like to pose a question. I'm an ecuadorian who is interested in applying to Gtown's SSP (I literally die to be accepted into SSP's for a Master with a concentration in Mil Ops). Here are my strongpoints: -My GPA ranges between 3.6 and 3.7 (9.17-9.2 cause in Ecuador we use a 10 points grading system) and I was the 5th highest grade in my class (24) -The university gave me a Diploma during the graduation for the best Thesis in the Faculty of Political Science and Management -I've secured a $100K scholarship from my government and also a fulbright scholarship -I've worked in the ecuadorian security community for little more than 3 years (I was recruited while studying my B.A. in Political Science): 1 year as an analyst in the Security Staff of the Presidency, 1 1/2 years in the Joint Armed Forces Command as a Military analyst (they wanted civies), from April till now I'm the Foreign Ministry's senior military analyst. Before that I worked two years in an NGO here in Ecuador. Right now I'm 27. -My faculty dean will give me a killer reference -My TOEFL score is 111/120 (IBT) Could anyone, pleaseeee, give a feedback about my chances to get into Gtown's SSP? Currently I'm working to improve my GRE Verbal Scores from 530 to 650 and the Quant Score from 450 to 620.

Hi, I have a similar question regarding Georgetown SSP. I'm an Ecuadorian fulbrighter who just secured more than 100K in ecuadorian government scholarships. Also I've had 3 years working in the ecuadorian security community starting from the Presidency's Security analysis staff to the Join Ecuadorian Armed Forces Command and currently I'm the Foreign Ministry's senior military analyst. Best of all is that most of my experience starts 3 years before i graduated as a B.A. in political science in Ecuador. Could you please give some input regarding the competitiveness of my application to Gtown? My graduation grade ranked 5th from 24 and I got a diploma for the best thesis in the politica science faculty. I also got a salutatorian in a academic course organized by the Joint Ecuadorian Armed Forces Command. Thanks!
