    A new topic was posted on the blog this time yesterday/before by Matt, but nothing yet. Is it gonna be the admission decisions?
  9. MPP19
    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.
  14. MPP19
    No.
  15. MPP19
    Yes, it applies to transcript too.
  16. MPP19
    Good luck with your application everyone!

    Does having scholarship confirmed from exerternal source help admission decision at grad school? Thanks!
  18. MPP19
    Please share your experience while applying to HKS. Seems like most applicants don't know about this portal.

    HKS has optional essay. So you think giving a fair reason for low grades will help? And HKS says they don't have clear cut offs for gpa.
  20. MPP19
    People got admitted to HKS with totally different background. So "irrelevant coursework" is not a reason not to be admitted at HKS.
  21. MPP19
    Why is there no thread this year? As I remember, there were hundreds of posts last year.
  22. MPP19
    Is there any chance for someone who has below 3.0 GPA in grad school to get admission to MPP at HKS with extremely high professional and relevant experience? Thanks!
  23. MPP19
    I won't be the right person to answer because I will be applying too. I have a bachelor and a master's degree in economics from Brandeis University. I am teaching micro and macroeconomics at the American University outside U.S., and I have public service experience too. I will be working on my application for HKS, SIPA, and Duke. Good luck with your application Charizard_MPP!
