[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, the Peace Corps is competitive. They are investing a lot of time recruiting and training applicants before dropping them off - often in isolated locations in middle of nowhere - in developing countries and expecting you to make significant contributions while living like a local and with very little supervision. They don’t just take anyone. It’s not a study abroad program. [/quote] I served in the Peace Corps in the early 2000s, and while I have no way of knowing how competitive admission was, the people I served with were generally extremely ambitious, type A folks. When I look at my cohort 20 years on, many of us are professors, doctors, in leadership positions in NGOs, high-level policy folks, etc. These are not chill hippies who just wanted to see the world and do a little volunteering.[/quote]
