This may be jumping the gun a bit since apps just opened today but oh well--we can have an early start to freaking out over the waiting game
(For people just seeing this thread and wanting to know more about the program/application, here's a link: https://www.cdc.gov/phap/index.html)
Some conversation-starters to get discussion going:
Past applicants:
-How did the application process go for you?
-If accepted, what factors about your resume/interviews/etc do you think made you successful?
-Current associates: can you tell us about your current placement?
-If not accepted, what would you do differently if you could try again (or are trying again)?
Current applicants:
-Share any and all questions/concerns/frustrations you might have! You can also search the previous years' threads to see if your question has been asked/answered in the past
-Keep us posted when you receive any notifications!
-Remember that apps are due 11:59pm EST on Jan 9!
