I've seen other volunteers post a timeline regarding their application process. Although not yet complete, it is interesting for me to see how far (read: lots and lots of waiting) I've come to get to this point, and I hope it can help provide future applicants with some guidance on the process. Here it goes...
07/23/09 - Attended Peace Corps Information Session in Asheville.
08/12/09 - Application submitted.
09/04/09 - Final Letter of Recommendation received by Peace Corps.
09/15/09 - Phone call from recruiter.
09/23/09 - Interview at Appalachian State with recruiter, during which I was informed of her intent to nominate.
09/23/09 - Submitted fingerprints for legal background check.
09/29/09 - Officially nominated for a math teaching assignment in 'non-french speaking Africa' for July or September departure. (During interview, the recruiter told me the nomination would be for July, but when she went to put it in the system, the program was full, and the nomination became September. However, when I asked whether a July deployment was still possible, she added a note into the system stating I would accept July. Future correspondence from the PC has all noted a July or September deployment.)
