Thanks for chiming in and truth be told, I am in the same situation as yours, thankfully my work keeps me pretty occupied during the daytime. But then I see notifications from this thread via email and then I have a sore thumb from refreshing my Gmail account. ? I guess we all are in this together and let us keep cheering each other and as they say: No news is good news. So long!

The LKY definitely has a strong record for employment outcomes amongst their graduates (90-ish% of MPP graduates land a job within their first year of graduation). 
However, much of the employed graduates end up working in Asia. If working in Asia is aligned to your career aspirations, I would suggest LKYSPP being the better option. 

Someone here said that they'll release the results on April. Guess we just have to wait until then.

Thanks for encouraging. I already give up and will join a party with my colleagues.  

Hey there, congratulaciones to all!
To those who got in: see you this fall...

Alas! I didn't get in. It started so well with acceptances and (partial) scholarships from Columbia and Duke but rejections from WWS and BSG have left me deflated. Do we have a whatsapp group or something similar to discuss how to improve our applications for next year?

Also in! But funding information is a month away. 

Hi! I also heard back from the MAIDP program and was accepted, and am still under consideration for the scholarship. They said they will inform scholarship recipients by the end of month. I have similar concerns as you regarding the program... if I end up not receiving the scholarship I wonder if the program without the additional training and opportunities will help me achieve my goals. Did you gain any more insight, or have you made a decision? Thanks!

Hi there, although I didn't apply for Ertegun/Clarendon scholarships but I see where you are coming from.
From past successful applicants for Clarendon the key is to have top-notch grades and if you have it then you stand a real good chance to bag it.
Anyhow, best wishes for your decision outcome and do share the good news when you hear it. Fingers crossed!

The admissions blog at BSG has been updated and here is the post that sheds some light on what's happening this season: http://blogs.bsg.ox.ac.uk/2019/03/13/admissions-update-decision-making-time-for-the-mpp/

Thank you! I just asked by email and they said end of March

Excited to say I heard back from MAIDP on Thursday and it was good news. Sending best wishes to those that are waiting!

I do have a concern/ question about the MAIDP program at Harris however. I was accepted to the program but not to the Obama Fellowship  (an extremely bittersweet moment for sure!) Based on the conversation I had with the admissions team, the class for the MAIDP will be approximately 20 Obama Fellows and 20 MAIDP non Obama Fellows. Since the MAIDP program was initially launched to compliment the Obama Fellowship Program (as far as I can tell) I am worried that the curriculum/ structure of the MAIDP will feel incomplete without the additional leadership and training opportunities that fellows receive. Furthermore, I am concerned based on a combination of the current language of the website and a bit of my own self doubts, that non-Obama Fellow MAIDP students may be the ugly ducklings of the class.

Anyone else accepted to the MAIDP program but not the Obama Fellowship and if so, any thoughts on the above?
Anyone familiar with Harris that has an opinion/ thoughts on this?

Thanks so much and best of luck (and deep breaths) to all during this time!

Hi all,
Just finished my interview so thought Id share the experience for any of you who are going through the panic.
The interview was exactly thirty minutes. the case study given was easy to decipher. It was on Coca plantations and it ended with three questions. The case study itself was 2 pages long and the paragraphs were numbered. The questions in the end were very easy. One was a small mathematical question based on the case itself. It was pretty simple and basic. Please dont stress about it at all.. The questions were given in the case itself and just required you to explain multiple points of view, if you can. Nothing tricky about the case.
Over all an easy process. read the paragraph and enjoy it. Take time to read the paragraph again. Also read parts that are irrelevant to the questions stated below. It will help with bringing a better perspective to your answers overall.

Good luck.

Okay great - I was interviewed by a current MIPP student.

Thanks. - I turned in all my stuff by mid-Oct, and they set-up a time (through email) a few days later to do the interview in person.  

I got the admission offer on 19th march, 2018 for MPA
