thejakey Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I hadn't heard anything from LKY so I logged onto the application portal and found that my status had been labeled "Rejected." Anyone still waiting on a decision from them may want to check online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrew Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Thanks for the information. I checked and even my status says "Rejected"! The "cat on the wall" business was so mentally exhausting. So closure is a relief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaid Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Hello all, I've applied for the MPA'14 (and indicated that I would like to also be considered for the MPP). I've contacted the office but just got the routine replies ('you will know by the end of April'). Not sure what to really make of my application status. For some context, my background in short - I've a private sector background (8+ yrs in technology + consulting), worked in Europe/US and now in Singapore. Did my education in the middle east, and university in India (Computer Science - GPA ~3.1/4). Have some experience in urban governance working with a non-profit but otherwise, not a lot of professional experience in public sector/ related to public policy. The rationale to apply for MPP/MPA was to move into a career in the public services/sector and use the intervening study year as a break to figure out this transition. Dint apply for aid. Am currently enrolled in a online public policy course with a think-tank to get some footing in this space. What do you folks think? I'm not sure if my application is being used as recycle paper (!) or maybe under consideration in a wait-list. But the long wait, and zero-communication is not helping (no interviews emails / calls). I want to know if there's a non-zero chance of making it (diversity of experience category since i'm not a typical candidate) or is that a very long shot and should I just make alternative plans. If it was a reject, wouldn't we already have heard? Any insight that you guys can share will be much appreciated. Thank you. Cheers, Vivek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glorfindel Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Hi Vaid I got a similar reply from the school.They said that they were sending out results in batches. I am just waiting for the second week of April My guess is that if we are not in the first list then we may not get scholarships. Chances are otherwise the usual 50-50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ovyovy Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Hi @vaid, have you log on into your NUS application account? I think, if you're really failed, they will update your status. if they don't, let's hope you made it to short-listed and they will contact you soon. goodluck!
