Sure, a good point to consider. I was told I did very well with the interviews, although no numerical scores were given to me as feedback.
I have a JD and an MS in data analytics as well as an undergraduate curriculum that included advanced calc and linear algebra and 4 years of Japanese.
I have experience with AI\ML and currently work for a company in the space manufacturing industry. I’m hoping that qualifies me for the extra consideration criteria listed in the program approvals.
I do hope I am a decent candidate. I was told that I’d have to specifically address how I had improved as a candidate. I am trying to earn a CompTIA security+ certification and better highlight my leadership experience.
Again, I am looking for advice on strategies for my subsequent application which I have been encouraged to submit and is not all that much of an additional burden - so any relevant advice is helpful. Pushing through an individual who is not a good candidate, and already received a non-selection notice seems an unlikely strategy for any OR, as well as a complete time waste and a good way to get on the bad side of people in their chain of command . . . but I suppose it’s possible.
