Timeline

I think that I've had a relatively quick application process, less than a year from application submission to invitation! Not bad, not bad.

I know that us Future Peace Corps Volunteers like to compare our timelines; so here's mine:

November - December 2012: Researched the crap out of the Peace Corps, and decided I wanted to serve.

January - March 2013: Worked on my application, re-started a couple of times because I forgot to log in so it expired, and wrote and revised my essays.

April 1, 2013: Application Submitted!

April 2, 2013: Health History Form Received!

April 17, 2013: References Received!
