In Reply To: on the age and experience requirements for the PT/CST. I realize PT is made for Undergrads, holding them at headquarters for a year or so as a kind of fast-track force-feeding of work experience. But I heard your interviewers and HR staff have some discretion in how much of the 18-months you necessarily must serve before getting on a bus to the farm. In that light, does it make sense to choose try for a PT instead of diving after CST? Especially if you're not in the mood to join the peace corps or get a JD to improve your candidacy? Has anyone heard of a successful PT with a year or so of work experience before getting into the program?
Message: Peace Corps would certainly not improve your candidacy, and I doubt a JD would either. PT interviews are the same as CST from what I hear. If you are right out of college, choose PT. If not, then CST.
