I also just got accepted. No news about the scholarship yet. Is this 50% waiver part of the DAAD scholarship or just hertie's waiver.?

Hey Rahul, I don't personally know anyone who has completed the dual degree, but if you go to the Student Room thread (http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1203622&highlight=hertie&x=-810&y=-13633) you can read more about that. Apparently some students from Columbia and the LSE thought Hertie was almost better in terms of teaching and the rest could not tell the difference. I know three people who go to Hertie and they seem all extremely satisfied, and one of them even turned down an offer from the LSE. I hope that helps

Hey Rahul, I have also just applied to Hertie. From people that I know who go there they seem to enjoy the teaching a lot and the student body is supposed to be great. Reputation is very good and most importantly getting better every year, and for a school that is only 10 years old they have done really well, especially in pairing with LSE, Columbia and Sciences Po for dual degrees and exchange programmes. It also seems to provide great career prospects, especially as you can also do a professional year between your first and second year. If I don't hear back from them soon I will also apply to the LSE and UCL and Edinburgh for the MPP course, but I think Hertie would be my first choice if I get in. By the way, when did you send you application and what kind of education/work experience background do you have (just asking to compare my chances of getting accepted.)
