So today, acting on the incessant pressure from friends and family to call PC and ask them where my placement is, I called the last PC staff member to contact me, my preliminary placement officer... No one picked up. So I left a message, and she actually returned my call! Seeing a call from a (202) number, as every applicant knows is the PC government area code, made me very excited.
Anyway, here's the deal:
- My application is now with the Placement Specialist, the final step before you receive an invitation
- The program I am being considered for leaves in September, not August/September as I was originally told (September departures in my region: Peru, Paraguay) :)
- This is the highest-volume time of year for program departures, so they have until the end of July to send my invitation (aka- be patient, stop calling.)
Even though it's not a placement, it's something. It's really good to hear from someone from PC and know that they didn't lose my application.
Hopefully good news soon!
