@murray did you get the funding? if so, how much did you request for and and how much did they give you? Also if you dont mind sharing some of your background information?

Got an email from HKS yesterday for MPP. Looks like the waitlist for MPP is practically closed. I am going to take myself off it. -- Greetings from the Harvard Kennedy School Admissions Office. You are receiving this email because you recently confirmed your desire to remain on the Harvard Kennedy School waiting list. The Admissions Committee has been monitoring enrollment responses and due to a very positive response from admitted candidates, we are unable to offer you a place at this time. The only way we can make additional offers going forward is if admitted candidates forfeit their spaces, and we have no way to predict if or when this will happen. We will keep the waiting list open at this time in case spots do open. I know with factors such as the timing of a possible admission offer, housing, and finances it might be difficult to enroll if we are able to offer a space to you later, so you should only remain on the waiting list if you are confident in your ability to enroll on short notice. Please also note that HKS will not be able to award fellowship or scholarship funding to candidates admitted from the waiting list. Any candidate admitted from the waiting list will likely be responsible for using their own funds and/or borrowing to pay for tuition and living expenses. Candidates admitted from the waiting list also may not defer enrollment for any reason (including candidates who have been admitted to concurrent degree partner school and are planning to start at the partner school). Candidates on the waiting list who have been admitted to a concurrent degree partner school are welcome to reapply to HKS in the coming year. The chances of admission from the waiting list are small and not predictable, however if you wish to remain on the waiting list please respond to this message by Friday, May 6. If you do not wish to remain on the waiting list please respond so we may close your file. The Admission Committee will meet again in mid-to-late May to review our situation. The next waiting list update email will thus likely go out in late May or early June. I recommend that if you have another opportunity in hand that you take it since it is impossible for us to predict if or when admitted candidates will forfeit their spaces. Sincerely,Matt Clemons Director of Admissions Harvard Kennedy School

Waitlisted in MPP and accepted in SIPA (MIA), SAIS, Fletcher. What are the chances of getting in? Also what among the other two schools make the best sense if I do not get through the wait list?

Hey Guys, could give me some tips on the analytical essay? Is it similar to the policy memo of Princeton where you provide a solution or policy to address the issue as well? Or is this just discussing the issue and why it is important. Thank you.

Me too....

I believe Fletcher starts releasing decision by Dec 18th or so and SIPA does the same towards the end of the year. I am quite nervous and anxious about the decisions myself.

You are never alone...
