I think its the main status page. I think we previously discussed these portal changes. It did not seem there was strong correlation to decisions..my did not change before when few people reported or now...I see some are MPA/ MPP and some are MPA/ID...I do not know if all these decisions are aggregated by the same office...i know MPA/ID has a separate admission committee.

Are you MPA/ID? You really shouldn't worry if you are. The batches are indeed treated differently with different teams/people on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the process is separate...maybe as we wait we can speculate by looking if there is a pattern among people who received the harvardkey error email + portal change few days + portal change now hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First my portal had contact info, then it went away a few weeks ago. Then the contact info was back (this morning), now it's gone again. Who knows. If it means anything, I don't think we are going to figure it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drumroll Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I too applied only to HKS. I'm not checking my page for changes. I'll check only the final answer. It's clear the changes are related to their updating the system regarding the results, but I think we will be the ones to help next year applicants to figure out if there is any relation to the result itself. The previous change generated to much unnecessary stress to me. I love a logic puzzle, but this one is just too emotional. I think the Admissions team must be working insanely to get all this right, and to avoid you get a negative when you should be getting a positive, or worse yet, you get a positive when you should be getting a negative. And if there is a problem with the system, then they necessarily need more time. I never thought the whole process would be so transparent and so friendly. The blog is great, there is a wealth of advice so we don't lose points due to mistakes on form, since it is content they are looking for. Whatever happens, this was a very instructive process. Also, this forum here at grad cafe is good so we know we are normal in our anxieties and we can help each other. I like the community feel. Even the picky arguments are a good distraction from the wait. My original guess was the results would be out on the 15th (mid-march), but I have been convinced by y'all that they are more likely to be released today. Good luck (and strong nerves) to everyone! poefan, HKS123 and ASunnyDay 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
