I’m also EDing PAM, and, while I don’t know 100% what they are looking for, I would think you have a pretty good shot. The one thing they look for in their applicants the most is fit, and that policy-making organization seems to really bolster your resume if you are sure to stress it a lot. As long as your essays help to further establish that argument, I’d say you’ll prob get in. Then again, I’m not in admissions, so don’t get your hopes too high.

Plus your resume overall seems pretty OP. I would accept you
