  1. Can't wait to return to a normal human heart rate after Wednesday ?
  2. On the Pickering page it listed October 25th, but Rangel is still listed as "late-October". Considering that we submitted Rangel after Pickering, I can't imagine Rangel being earlier? But then considering they're almost always sent out on Fridays, would they be released the same day?
  3. Also was accepted to a grad program and differed, fingers crossed we have that going for us!
  4. Nice! Sounds like you have solid experience despite the lack of formal international experience. I similarly am a bit limited in my international experience. Aside form informal/personal travel, I did one study abroad that was more like a course with a short supplemental trip. I have one year of work experience outside of school in Congress. 2-4 languages (depending on the month lol), received aid in college, took part in a lot of extracurricular activities, strong service background--particularly with refugees, yada yada. My essay really focused on a narrative of having been to countries that have weak diplomatic relations with the U.S. and how my personal experiences of being a first-generation American motivate me/equip me to tackle such challenges as an FSO. For the sake of a strong narrative/story, I barely, if even, touched on other notable experiences that could help me/relate to the 13 dimensions -- something I've been reconsidering a lot post-deadline ?. After religiously reading fellow profiles from the last few years (bad idea, don't recommend), I don't know how competitive I am without CLS, Gilman, Fulbright, etc, but just waiting for that late Oct notification at this point!
  5. I have always lurked without an account, but I felt a responsibility to give future applicants the forum discussion that I so often looked to lol. Now that Rangel deadline has come, can anyone speak on their backgrounds and how they felt about the application process?
