  1. Can anyone share their experiences about Admit Day? - if you're still following the forum here..
  2. Dont go to HKS unless you have a scholarship or some sort of funding. Its not worth the degree to get into substantial debt as it will not give you what you're looking for. I've spoken to many HKS grads who said that their degree had little impact on their career progression or earnings. Work experience is the most important factor. Plus, the HKS holds little value outside the US.
  3. I see you got admitted. Do you mind sharing your background/stats with us? I posted in the HKS subforum that CPL fellowships (finalists) will be notified Monday/Tuesday.
  4. Can you share your background/stats with me? Am curious as to why you got dinged also. I'm still puzzled..
  5. Yes, the remaining decisons will be out Monday & Tuesday; the CPL fellowships you mentioned will also be announced (to finalists) Monday & Tuesday.
  6. I cant believe I'm the only Mason here reporting his result..
  7. Sorry to disappoint you, but that tab doesnt mean anything, its just that way in their system. If you're admitted, it will show a permanent "New Admit" tab. By the way, if you want to calm you nerves when you see the admissions email in your inbox, but you're slightly worried to open it right away, go to Sparks and see if the New Admit tab is appearing. If its not there after maybe 15-30mins of receiving the admissions email, you probably got dinged. Makes it easier to then go read the message with more realistic expectation.
  8. Got dinged !! Good luck to the rest. HKS admissions is a mystery to me. From some of the profiles I have seen on their website, I would not have thought that some of them stood a chance to get in, but I had a really great app and didn't even get waitlisted. > Our Admissions Committee has completed its review of your application to > the MPAM program at Harvard Kennedy School.

  9. Has anyone received an email yet about MPA admissions?
  10. Do you mind sharing your background/stats with us?
  11. Looks like they were in such a rush to send out notifications that they didnt proof read their own email..
  12. Also, was anyone interviewed during the application period?
  13. That is sad but true; same would go for HKS and its MC/MPA, MPA2 programs
  14. I can confirm that; my wife told me that some SIPA students were even successful in mingling at IB and MC mixers, and ended up scoring summer interships; but FT offers are pretty tough to get at the end; bcs firms asks SIPA grads mostly to join on analyst level due to lack of MBA and SIPA folks dont want that - which is understandable if you have multiple yrs of work exp.
