Are people still reading this? Let's give it a shot. I'm doing 3 full-time simultaneous degrees in 3 different fields in two different countries in two different languages, my main one is a target school the two others are distance learning (same exam, same diploma at end).
GPA:
Graduating in 2 years on track for 3.5/4.0 equivalent in Accounting & Finance Target School. Graduating in 3 years in Philosophy, and in 3 years for Mathematics/Physics degree. The other two are nationally among the best but not internationally recognized.
Work experience:
Military Internship/Bootcamp
Investment Bank Internship
High Tech/Defense Internship
Language skills:
Native French. Native English. Fluent German. Fluent Spanish.
Quantitative requirements:
75% of main degree's classes are econ and well the other Math/Physics degree speaks for itself.
Overseas experience (work, study and teaching):
Lived in France, Chile, US, studying in UK.
Leadership in highschool and uni.
Statement of Purpose
To be defined.
Aiming for MPP at HKS. Is this realistic? Should I apply right after the end of my main undergrad or try to get some experience?
Thanks
HKS MPP: 3 Undergrads: wait for experience or direct?

Sure, I'll explain. I'm doing 3 degrees at once, in 3 separate unis, not a triple or dual degree, I just signed up to all 3 separately, each of them being meant for people to study full-time in it.
Why: intellectual challenge and curiosity, developing different work cultures (humanities/business/stem), and not being limited in my life to a certain domain, I guess a certain liberty in my work. On a more political side: allows me to follow what each domain is saying and cater to everyone in the (educated) population. On a more strategic side: you can come up with great ideas by making 2 cultures overlap, e.g. by mixing business with science you can come up with quite interesting projects. I'm not refusing to make a choice, I made my choice by starting with business, but now I'm making 2 other choices: growing my knowledge and intellectual skills in two other domains.
Hope that answers it. So far I've seen people were literally amazed by two, and it seems 3 is hard for them to understand...(hope this doesn't sound condescending).
