I have been an EA forum lurker for years...finally decided to get over myself and engage more actively. Switched careers from finance/banking to academia| Ph.D. in Public Affairs| Trained as an economist prior to that but I identify more as a social scientist interested in conducting policy-relevant research| Particularly interested in social policy broadly (main focus on education and health policy)| I am here to learn and contribute as much as I can.

I am very curious about the feedback! Even after round 2/3 (not sure which one - asynchronous video round it was) I did not get much feedback. So, I am not sure if reapplying would make great sense! Also, I was under the impression that applications made just in the prior year might also be reconsidered this year? Good luck and thank you for the post!
Thank you for the quick reply, Karolina! I am glad to hear that going forward everyone who applies gets some feedback. I do wish that was the case earlier when I applied. If there's any easy way to cull that automated feedback from round 1 for past applicants which can be shared, I would be very interested in receiving that! I am happy to send an email/note if that would help process that. Because rounds 2 and 3 entailed significant time commitments, sharing honest/quick feedback after those stages of the application process is even more important than the first rounds in my opinion. I would encourage your team to continue engaging with this as you proceed. Good luck!
