Mr. Jameson

Hey everyone! Joining this thread since I am eagerly awaiting Harris as well! Good luck to everyone-- I applied to the MACRM program.

Good luck to everyone going into this week. Hopefully we all get interviews and can meet up in DC!!!

My essays were all about the parallels between teaching and the 13 dimensions of an FSO and how all of them are essential characteristics of being a good teacher. Haha I made the mistake of looking at fellow profiles too, which is why i feel like I am not the strongest applicant. I believe that I have only ever seen one profile that did not mention the fellows international experience, which tells me I am the only person without any. I am hoping that my background in Public service will help my candidacy. Did you apply to pickering and rangel or just Rangel?

Hello! I can speak to my background a little bit. I think I am not the traditional applicant to pickering/rangel-- I have absolutely no international experience. I graduated in June 2018 with a degree in Economics and Mathematics with interests in international development. My senior year of college I was accepted into The Fletcher School through the MYF program that allows future Fletcher students to get two years of work experience before start their masters degree. Since graduating, I joined Teach For America and have been teaching math in a low-income school. I have always been interested in working in the foreign service but do not have the usual background-- no study abroad experience, etc. I know I have strong GPA, Letters of Rec, and I think my essay was fairly strong. I also think that I have already been accepted to Fletcher may help my application as well, but also have no idea. I have been lurking on the pickering/rangel threads for over two years now so I am excited to finally apply. How about you?

Hello everyone, Decided to reach out and meet everyone else who is applying to Rangel and Pickering this year-- would love to meet you all and get the comradery going that Ive seen in other years!
