ANY THOUGHTS?

MPA is more prestigious for recruiters, the batch is less than 150 each year with 50% doing dual degree with MBA or other degree thus the caliber is higher when they graduate compared to MPP policy wonks. I have an MPP by the way and I applied for MPA at HKS but on the waiting list

what you are saying is making sense... the MPH of HSPH has a big question mark although a strong brand. What I know is that it is very demanding and stressful programme as you have to squeeze 42.5 credits in less than 8 months of actual study excluding exams and Christmas and spring breaks. I was thinking about the SM2 but I was told it is more theory than practice and less valued when it comes to employment in international organiztions like WHO,etc...

Guys do you have any idea if wait-listed candidates who receive an admissions offer (get off the wait list) can request a deferment? Wait listed applicants will not to have a clue about their admissions until Mid or End of May when all financial aid options will be consumed by then for the 2014 year enrollment? Any thoughts?

am I the only one who received the least favorable decision ever "Wait listed"? I applied to MPA-2 and on the waiting list till May 2014 :-( I requested to remain though and received a confirmation from the ad com. does any of you have some insights on the waiting list dilemma ?
