   I've checked the profiles of a few previous YPPs in linkedin. It appears that ADB chooses only those who are either from ivy league schools, or have job experiences in INGOs and large multinational companies.

   Is that a correct observation? Are there exceptions?

   I agree. I knew someone with an excellent profile (PhD Development, ADB intern), but little experience otherwise. She did not make it, though she is technically extremely strong. They always advertise for development/economics, but as you rightly pointed out rarely hire people from this profile.

   My take is that their operations are constrained in narrow stream such as transport, water, trade, and they prefer candidates with very specific profiles. Add this to the first cut-off of 35 from 4000 makes this position nearly impossible.

    Hello, new here, from an Urban Development and GIS background. Didn't find much feedback from successful candidates from the past here. Maybe somebody from among them would be kind enough to guide and share their experiences?
    Wishing us all the best.

    I was told by a staff member at the ADB that we'd hear back late this month to early May.

    Means that you "activate" an old thread, by having a new comment on it. So it comes on the first page and increases the likelihood to get an answer

    your experience would be appreciated by all concerned applicants. Did they mention regular job prospects post internship?

    This sounds super competitive

    Is it true that they receive about 5000 applications for only 4 spots?
