| 25 | | Because of its early deadline, the International NSF is oftentimes overlooked, but it is a good position (particularly if you want to work abroad) [This seems to have been discontinued as of 2018]. The AAPF is probably the most difficult application out there, as it requires a ten-page research plan, in addition to about 10 auxiliary documents. The disadvantage to this is that it takes a lot of time (Cameron's took about 100 hours), but the benefit is that once you have completed it, you have done about 80% of the effort needed for all of your remaining applications. |
