I've always been interested in the Peace Corps and it is something that's been in my head as an option for after college. I met with a Peace Corps recruiter on campus a few weeks ago and he explained alot about it. First of all, it's not as selectie as it sounds. He said that about 40% of all people who submit applications end up going on an assignment. The other 60% either withdraw their application on their own, fail the legal screening, fail the medical screening or aren't qualified. He did say that a qualified candidate with at least a bachelors degree and no medical or legal problems (such as child support) will most likely be accepted.
