Well said. I think it really depends on the class profile they would like to build for the relevant year.

Hey guys, I feel your pain deep in my heart. You are not alone. I applied only to HKS and got rejected. When I asked people about my chance of admission, even the alumni and the professors thought that it would be pretty easy for me to get in. Now, I am out and feeling pretty desperate. I am 25, too... with no work experience but with a master degree and a few voluntary jobs. I think the best execution plan is to find a job, excel in it and reapply again next year. There is nothing we can do for the past. Whatever happened, has happened. Let's move on and build up a bright future with no more wasting our potentials. Now, all I wish is to land for a research related/non-profit job as soon as possible. Wish both of you luck.

MPP used to ask for additional essays like MPA/ID Program before 2011. So, 5% increase in applicants might have stemmed from a decrease in the MPP application requirements.

Hey anxiouslyanxious, don't be anxious. I guess it is a troll. If you check his/her statistics, you may agree with me.

new post on HKS blog... I think the results may show up at any time right now.. I mostly expect 12th or 13th to be the lucky day... So excited.. My fingers are trembling even as I type this...

Does anybody have any idea about what is going on in the admissions office recently? I am going nuts because of this waiting...

Hey guys, I applied to MPP Program at HKS this year. In my Sparks account, it is stated that if I get admission, I would be required to send the official transcripts and GRE Scores. But, my GRE score is already sent by ETS and also, I sent them my official transcripts. I am a little bit confused. Is it the same for every one?

Hi plenum123, Do you think that 1300 GRE Score works for international students, as well? My Quantitative Score is 800, but my Verbal is 450. I had 4.5 from Writing. What do you think? Thank you.

Thank you, yhakak. I applied to MPP Program.

Hi folks, Do you have any idea about what's going on in the admissions office right now? My Sparks Account seems complete, but I haven't received an email from the office stating that it is complete. Have you received such an email? Thanks. Wish all good luck!
