Work Experience Advice

[akb07003]

Hi all,

 

Thank you guys in advance for helping me out. I seem to be stuck and have decided to reach out to you all for help.

 

My current bio:

 

Undergrad: UConn

Major: Accounting and Political Science

GPA: 3.3/4.0

 

GMAT: Not taken yet

 

Work Experience:

PricewaterhouseCoopers-2 years as an Audit Associate

Teach for America-Current

 

I have been accepted into Education Pioneers for an Analyst Fellowship for after TFA ends (next fall). 

 

My question for you all is: in terms of competitiveness, do you believe that a fellowship with Education Pioneers would help my application?

If education policy is your interest/focus then the more experience you have in that, the better.  If you don't plan to continue with education or education-related work in the future then it may not make a difference.

I echo the advice above--Ed Pioneers is a great path to pursue if you're interested in education policy. They offer incredible networking opportunities, and the analyst positions are definitely relevant to the work in a top MPP program.
