Aoteroa Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 For those who are waiting to hear about the Harvard Kennedy School Mid-Career MPA - I spoke to the HKS Admissions Office and they said the decisions would be coming out next week ie w/c 28 March. Sigh....that's a lot more waiting to go! Applied: HKS Mid-Career MPA & WWS MPP Accepted: WWS ($) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grehell Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Thanks for the update Aoteroa. I wonder how long it will take to communicate all results to everyone. Think that it will be starting next week and will be rolling all the way up till end of April grr Did they say that they would be telling most people next week? Thanks!

Aoteroa Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 Hopefully not rolling until end of April! They said that our decisions would have to be made quite quickly due to the waiting list (I didn't clarify what "quickly" meant though). I also asked whether financial aid decisions would come out soon afterwards as I needed to get back to WWS by 15 April and she said that she didn't know exactly when they would come out but she expected I would have all the information by 15 April. Not exactly concrete information but still useful. At least knowing the decisions don't come out until next week has made me stop checking my email account every 2 minutes!

grehell Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Very true - I check my email like a mad woman! Good to know that they need quick decisions. Means they will communicate early ... at least to the people they really want Thanks for the update. Good luck on getting in. The more time goes by the more I am thinking that I won't!

Aoteroa Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 No - I've had no contact about an interview. I hadn't heard that they did that. Is that standard practice?

SRMC2003 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 That sounds really early for their decisions to be sent out. I thought they weren't going out until mid-April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzette100 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Hi everyone, I also called this Monday (since someone at HKS told me this year they were "planning" to send out the decisions earlier) and the response was "for the Mid-Careers, we will be sending out the decisions next week." so unlike last year, I hope they don't drag out the process.

FYI Letter is dated March 25. I am international student and I had to apply through Edward S.Mason Program, but I believe the whole selection process goes simultaniously and decisions on your application will be mailed to you pretty soon. I was getting more and more nervous past weeks and I understand so well your feelings. I wish you to hear HKS Admissions Office decision ASAP. I also hope to see you guys at Harvard... Best wishes.

Alyson_gr Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I just talked to Admissions. They said that Mason decisions have been going out on a rolling basis but that the regular MC/MPA would be going out all at the same time, likely on the 31st. Phew. Hope that helps and stops us all checking email today and tomorrow and going half crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

policy_wonk_18 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 The wait continues. I guess we'll hope for next week -- I just wish the university would be more accurate or realistic with its announced decision dates. 4 plus months is a long time...
