Gave me an extra $10k for a total of $35K. I guess their offer can't compete against HKS and Yale's offer. Looks like it's off to HKS for me!
-
Yep, my grant and stipend both showed up.
-
See my signature. Yale Jackson gave me full funding. HKS full funding for the first year but still on the hook for a third semester. Will try to negotiate or explore other funding options. I submitted a scholarship recon form to Harris just today, leveraging my offers from other schools. I guess can't hurt to try and see how they respond.
-
Ditto. Got more aid at other schools (Harvard and Yale) so not likely to go to Harris unless I don't get into Wharton/MIT/Yale for my MBA program. (Join/concurrent degree applicant)
-
Has anyone submitted a scholarship reconsideration form to Harris yet? I just wanted to make sure that the extra aid I ask for is reasonable (in that form). Did you know anyone who got a full scholarship (tuition + direct fees + stipend)? I admit I got competitive offers from Harvard MPP and Yale Jackson's MA that offered way much more aid than Harris did. However, I'm still interested in the possibility of going to Booth/Harris if other MBA programs don't work out. Someone else said "I have heard the max is $45k but that could be wrong."

I'm in Italy and I didn't get any magazine. I got into HKS and got a CPL fellowship.
-
In the same situation. For full ride for this coming year at HKS. Although I'm on the hook for a third semester at HKS as a concurrent degree seeker, but planning on applying to external scholarships and find other sources of funding. I'll love if others can chime in about HKS vs. Yale Jackson, and bonus points if you did HKS/Wharton or HKS/MIT Sloan.
-
The acceptance letter said the classes will be in-person for this fall.
-
Congrats! Which CPL fellowship?
-
For those who were CPL finalist, did you see any award letter in your MYFIN portal? For me, I'm not seeing anything that could be for me though I did get an email saying CPL will notify me directly if I win a fellowship or not.
-
Congrats on getting into MIT Sloan! I hope you will come to love MIT just as I did (I went to MIT undergrad). Chin up and re-apply in your first year. You still got another chance! Ditto here. Got rejected from HBS as well.
-
Accepted to Harvard!!!!

Financial Aid Negotiation

Likely email. Def wait until you hear from all schools - maybe that school could give you the most aid and you use it as your leverage. -
Financial Aid Negotiation

Hrmm, this appears to be from a grant rather than aid from a school. I'm not sure how they view this when you negotiate with them. Anyone got thoughts on this? -
Financial Aid Negotiation

Don't be embarrassed! There's no shame in asking for more aid. If everyone else is doing it, so you can as well! -
Financial Aid Negotiation
wildchartermage replied to wildchartermage's topic in Government Affairs Forum
While HKS won't come out until much later, Harris did send out an email saying they will open up financial aid reconsideration from March 10 to March 24.....so if we happen to get full aid from HKS, I'm not sure if Harris will consider it after March 24th. Hoping SIPA gives you a higher aid! I plan to use my full-ride aid from Jackson to negotiate with JHU SAIS and Harris just to see what happens....the worst they can say is no or just bump it up a bit. -
An email was sent asking me to go to the portal to see the decision letter.
-
Email was just sent out. Rejected, but it's okay! Check out my signature below.
-
Has anyone successfully negotiated for a favorable financial aid package across different programs? Thought we should share strategies and tips here.
-
Yep, Jackson/Wharton is possible - just need Wharton's approval and must start at Jackson first. Jackson can pair with any other business school outside of SOM. It's just really up to the business school to approve the concurrent/joint/dual degree. This is based on my conversation with another admitted Jackson applicant who had a chat with Asha about this situation.
-
I didn't get into HBS yet but also hopeful for HKS with scholarship. It's hard for me to say which ones I want because it's dependent on funding and location. I could do Wharton/HKS, Wharton/Jackson, Booth/Harris, and Yale SOM/Jackson. I'm leaning towards Wharton/HKS though, but we'll see what is offered. How about you?
-
Congrats getting into these programs! I also got into UChicago Harris (50% scholarship), JHU SAIS (60% tuition scholarship approx) and Yale Jackson. Also waiting on Stanford MIP and HKS MPP. I'm an MBA/MA or MBA/MPP joint degree applicant so where I get in for business school will be the primary factor in my decision before I decide on which MPP/MA programs pairing with the MBA program. Right now, I'm either for Yale SOM/Jackson, UChicago Booth/Harris, and Wharton/HKS (there is also Wharton/JHU SAIS but we'll see about that).
-
I definitely got an email that directed me to my portal to see my decision. That's weird you got nothing. Best to reach out to the admissions team and ask them about your application.
-
Based in Italy - no magazine, but I did get an invite for Zuckerman fellowship!
-
Got in! Now waiting for funding information. It seems this program is quite competitive — selecting around 50-60 applicants out of a pool of 300+ applicants (saw this somewhere so can't remember where exactly).
