Pickering finalist notifications went out today. Check your emails

Hi All, Elated to be a part of this thread among fellow applicants! I was denied the Rangel but accepted as a Pickering Finalist. I wanted to reach out to see if anyone had further information about the rest of the process, i.e. written exam and interview? I re-read my notification email three times before it really hit me that I'm moving forward... The fun begins... The Pickering Team clarified that we will have an option between two essay topics in the IR arena. Anyone have more details on the range and depth of the topics? Are they looking for argumentative or analytical essays? Interview- Any tips, advice, suggestions?? It's crazy how fast everything is coming up- deadlines approaching, interviews, matriculation commitments. AH!
