To those who were not selected for the Korea ETA, I highly recommend you apply for EPIK (English Program In Korea). I just completed a year contract with them and it was one of the best decisions I made. The application process can be a bit rigorous, but it's worth it. I applied through Korvia, a certified recruiting agency that works with EPIK and it's free. Fell free to message me if you have any questions.

I applied for the ETA program in Fulbright Colombia and have a Skype interview next week. Does anyone have any tips? Thanks and good luck!

Hello! I'm currently looking at MID/MPP/MPA programs in top schools. I have a pretty average student profile but I'am looking to improve this by gaining international experience and taking courses in math, economics and research methods. My profile: Undergrad GPA: 3.44 (U.S. News Top 20 Regional Universities-South) - Majored in international studies and Spanish with a concentration in developing nations. Studied in Ecuador for the summer. Languages: Fluent in Spanish (I was born in the Dominican Republic) Extracurricular Activities: 1)Strong leadership experience on campus, especially in the Latino community. 2)Volunteered with Latino non-profits. Experience Abroad: 1)Mission trip to Haiti. 2)Currently have a one year contract to teach English in Korea. Hired by the Korean government. GRE Score: Have not taken it, yet. I just recently graduated, so I'm looking to gain work experience before I apply. I'm currently interested in the University of Chicago, Columbia, Georgetown, George Washington and Harvard (wishful thinking? ). Am I being too naive with being this ambitious? Anyone have any tips to beef up my profile? Any particular fellowships? I'm currently applying for a Fulbright ETA, but I'm currently looking for other opportunities. Thanks!
