woo hoo! so excited. got the email at 1:30 am EST but I'm 7 hours ahead so just opened at work. out of curiosity does anyone know aproximately how big the entering class is each year?

is anyone going to the early visit day next week? can you post some feedback on the day and your thoughts on the program, profs, other students, etc. thanks!

Yuck. That's a long wait. Thanks for the info meg.

hope this is helpful. GRE: 720V, 800Q, 6AW Undergrad: magna cum laude, ivy-wannabe, international affairs WE: 3+ years, about half in US, half in dev countries - human rights orgs Recs: prof/mentor/adviser, supervisor, co-worker SOP: very defined academic interest, less sussed out professional aspirations did anyone hear about $$$?

I was also admitted. I'm glad my prediction was accurate. Congrats to the others as well!

I dunno if everyone gets notified on the same day though I assume so. I saw a few postings of folks from last year who got letters dated Dec 14 - some took longer to arrive than others. I'm not in the US, so just hoping they'll notify by email.

No, I didn't receive the decision yet just that one had been made. I imagine we will receive notice next week.

Just got an email telling me I forgot to check the early notification box but that my decision has been rendered. I guess those who applied for the Jan 1 notification should be getting decisions soon. I saw they came out Dec 14 last year. Any idea if we get an email or snail mail?

I'm interested in MPP/MPA programs in international development that are not overly focused on quant. [Also planning to apply for joint law programs.] My background is in human rights and I'm hoping to work for international orgs/UN more than ministry of finance or the like. I know that HKS and WWS are among the top programs but they seem very top heavy with econ classes. Is the MPP at Harvard a good alternative even though it is not focused on development per se? SIPA is also well known internationally but I have not always heard positive comments about the program from graduates. I'm also considering GPPI but what other programs should I be considering that would be well known and have good connections outside of the US and have a focus on international development? Thanks!
