csacwp1315 Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 I applied to SSP and Georgetown's Biohazarous Threat Agents & Emerging Infecious Diseases program and am anxiously waiting to hear back about SSP (I was accepted into Biohaz. but have to enroll by early April if I want to attend).

What was your academic/professional background, and what did you feel were the strongest/weakest elements of your application? Thank you! I'm an international applicant, aged 21. Born and raised in France, did my B.A. at King's College London in European Studies and Spanish, graduated in July (GPA equivalent to 3.7 I think?). Moved to Amman where I've been learning Arabic since September. Strengths: Fluent in French, English, Spanish and working proficiency in Arabic. Worked in several think thanks among the years as a research assistant and policy analyst for Middle Eastern security both in Paris and London as part-time jobs alongside my studies. Last summer, I I was selected to be part of the pilot project as a mentor for refugees and researcher on the topic launched by my Uni. I decided to go to the refugee camp known as the “Jungle of Calais” in July 2017. While on the field, I took part in many different activities: food, clothes and water distributions, psychological support, etc. I have constantly volunteered in London and Amman to empower refugees of war through education and self-confidence workshops, teaching them several times a week in the “Learning Station Project” in London (IT, English and French) and Squash Dreamers in Amman. Got two awards while at King's for Leadership and Global Experience GRE scores: 163 in verb, 156 quant, 4.5 in AW. Weaknesses: young age, average GPA.quite low scores in my second year of uni, unrelated BA, AW gre grade
