Hi! I’ve gone through the process before, and I’m happy to share some insights.
The review board usually focuses on demonstrated experience, clarity of goals, and alignment with RPAA’s objectives. A common mistake is being too vague about past projects. Make sure to clearly describe your role, outcomes, and impact. When preparing your RPAA application, present prior experience with specific examples, quantifiable results, and concise descriptions; bullet points often help. References and supporting documents do carry weight, especially if they attest to your skills or achievements.
As for timelines, applications are typically reviewed within a few weeks. A polite follow-up after that window is fine if you haven’t heard back.
