  1. IN for the MPP program. I'm just so, wow... no words.
  2. No funding! What a bummer, looks like Wagner is at the bottom of my list now.
  3. I have a feeling we'll find out in the next couple of days! Goldman is my close second choice, right after HKS. I absolutely love the Bay Area, and would enjoy staying put. Berkeley's program is a lot more intimate than HKS with a smaller cohort, and if you're a California resident, a whole lot more affordable. I'd also LOVE to take classes and learn from Robert Reich. I also like that since Goldman is THE School of Public Policy at Berkeley, and only offers one other degree, a lot of the resources will be available and accessible to MPP students, like career services, etc. Whereas HKS has four different masters programs housed under the Kennedy School. My reasons to choose Goldman would be: affordability, location, learning environment/experience, and its rising reputation.
  4. Hey folks, Congrats on your acceptance! I got notified early last week as well, and they mentioned nominating me for the Graduate Opportunity Fellowship. I don't know whether that's final or not, because it also said that the Graduate Division would notify us separately of the finalized funding decisions before 3/31. At this point, I don't think they've sent out funding offers yet, so I suppose it's still a waiting game!
  5. AH, THE WAITING GAME! The Dream Choices 1. Harvard Kennedy School MPP -- crossing fingers and toes. I honestly don't know how this one will end up. Funding is also another concern if I do get in. The dream would be getting in and scoring a nice fellowship. 2. Goldman MPP -- I have a better feeling about Berkeley. I surprisingly heard back early from UCLA earlier this week. So now I have a good viable back-up with a generous funding offer. Good luck to all waiting it out! Sending positive vibes all over for good news!
