Would appreciate any advice/help on whether I'm competitive for the current range of school currently! Thank you!

From HKS?

A new topic was posted on the blog this time yesterday/before by Matt, but nothing yet. Is it gonna be the admission decisions?

All decisions are supposed to come out together. No?

Applied for the MPP, strong recommendation letters, strong SOP, and professional experience. Didn't apply for FAID because I have an external source of scholarship. Hoping for the best, but I don't expect I will get in - and I don't know the reason either because admission is not predictable based on these known factors. Good luck for everyone!

I am working on the application, so will apply by Apr 12. Best,

Let's share the admission decision and a little on your profile!

The thread is very slow this year. Last year, there were hundreds of posts exchanged by this time.

No.

Yes, it applies to transcript too.
