The FSO Application

At first blush the application seems pretty straight forward and it probably is at the end of the day. The application essentially gets you a seat to take the Foreign Service Written Test. For those that are fortunate to pass the written test and go on to the relatively new step, the QEP, the initial application is part of your packet and is supposedly evaluated along with your test scores from the written test as well as your five personal narratives.

So while the application might not seem too important at first make sure you do take care filling it out since it will be part of the evaluation process.
