I am going into my senior year of college this fall, on track to graduate in the spring of 2025 with majors in biochemistry and molecular biology, and a minor in chemistry. I hope to go to medical school someday, but I have a strong desire to experience new things and see the world before I commit the next 8 years of my life to medical school. I also think it is important that I explore other avenues of helping people to solidify my decision to commit to a life of service as a physician. I want to join the peace corps and serve for 2 years right after I graduate college, but I am skeptical about my odds of being accepted. I spent a summer as a research fellow and have connections from that experience to provide letters of recommendation (along with professors and other bosses), but should I seek out any specific extracurriculars to make myself a more competitive applicant?
They have ET reports by year
No idea about that .....not a computer scientist but I do know how to Google. When I was in it 1 in 6 got accepted which is ~ 17% so not that far off
Dayum, bruh.....lol.....thanks for not taking it poorly I mean I just don't understand everyone trying to mitigate every possible situation....which is ridiculous! If you want it f'ing go for it!!! The saying about war that plans change once execution begins is "no plan survives first contact with the enemy".....while obviously this is not war.....its incredibly intense and once you have first contact you best be able to pivot and readjust. "Toughest job you'll ever love" is right on the money , people. If you aint ready don't do it.
Lol Googling 'what percentage of peace corps applicants are accepted" - here's what the AI overlords said word by word : "The Peace Corps accepts around 23% of applicants to volunteer positions. The application process can be lengthy and competitive, and may include: Medical and dental exams, Three letters of reference, Extensive paperwork, and Interviews. "
