Short Statement: The estimated number of applicants interviewed increased from the 2011 submission from 350 to 700. This increase can be attributed to an increase in the number of applicants without previous Peace Corps experience. This also reflects in an increase in reference requests. Returned Peace Corps Volunteers (RPCVs) must submit two references; one staff and one professional reference. These applicants comprise of approximately 75% of the total applicants interviewed. Applicants who have not previously served with the Peace Corps must submit three references; one personal and two professional references. These applicants comprise of approximately 25% of the total applicants interviewed. Therefore, the number of references required per interviewed applicants is calculated at 2.25.
