Not sure why they are so backed up :C. I need to book a room ASAP but can't until I hear back :C. Life is hard :C.

Has anyone heard back yet? This is taking forever :C.

Yeah sure. I'm not sure how competitive it was, it sort of felt like they awarded most who applied. I did GROW with USAID, which provided more incentives to go to developing countries, and I got the feeling it was less competitive as well. Timing was the most stressful thing, because you had to have a letter from the host organization, which can take a while to find an org to work with, interview with them, and have them produce a letter and paperwork. The application itself wasn't too bad, a bit of short writing on the topic. They want to see a plan for what you will acquire while you are there and what exactly you will work on.

I got it last year and went to Durban, South Africa. I heard back on 3/28/14 last year, and applied again this year and haven't heard back. What is up with this? Anyone know why we haven't heard back?

Guys and gals: We just got a raise to 32,000!!!

Awarded! E/E E/E E/E I proposed something novel and they loved it! So stoked! I'm in Psychology.

Hello everyone! I am going into a PhD program at Virginia Commonwealth University and I was wondering how the public transit system is over there. I want to know if it is advisable for me to (a) Drive there with my car from southern California or ( use the bus system to get to where I need. What do you think? Also, any input on the VCU and the environment in Richmond would be great! Thanks, Talysin
