Congrats!

Hopefully we find out by Friday then! Who is Mr. Jones? Is he involved with Fulbright?

I'm a semi-finalist for Cote d'Ivoire but I haven't heard anything back either. I also had an interview in February and the people there said I would hear back either late March or early April. Looking at the spreadsheet, it looks like sub-saharan Africa usually finds out mid-April so I am hoping it will be sometime this week.

That's awesome! Congratulations!

That's a really good point! Thanks!

Okay, good to know! All of my internships/jobs so far have been in the public sector and I was also a PPIA fellow so an interest in public policy won't be an out of the blue decision. I just wasn't sure if going from all that to a private sector would hurt me. Thank you!

Looking for advice: I'm planning to apply to an MPP program next year because I want to get working experience for at least a year. I am waiting to hear back from Fulbright but also applying to jobs as back-up plans in case Fulbright does not work out. I want to get an MPP with a concentration in data analytics or computer science (e.g. UChicago's Harris program). I would like some more technical experience but most job prospects are with private companies. Does anyone know if it would hurt my chances of getting into an MPP lprogram later on if I were to get a job in the private sector?

Congrats to those who found out today! Here is the link to the spreadsheet.

Congratulations! That's so exciting! Research or ETA?

Anyone else here waiting to hear back from Cote d'Ivoire? Not a lot of people apply there but I figured I'd check.
