lackey

Yeah that's my point. I'm sure it'll be clearer next year since it's their first time doing fin aid and admissions decision simultaneously. 

You still got into Harris!  I'm sure you'll be all right no matter what.

Are there no more competitive people since Valentines Day!? Post your stuff (within your means and anonymously) for posterity, y'all! :-)

FYI, I just received my formal acceptance notification from the Dean of the Graduate School for admission to the Woodrow Wilson School. 
On a personal note, I honestly was not convinced it was all real until now. 

Can someone call and ask when decisions are coming out (this week)?

To retain sanity while waiting (partially for HKS but also a few other schools I’m really pumped about) I have tried to plan a lot of fun activities for the next week, and when I am forced to be by my computer or have idle time, I either listen to an awesome audiobook or set a timer for 20 min to an hour. Until the timer goes off I’m not allowed to check my email or touch my phone or visit grad cafe. It’s helped me stay calm and concentrated on my life despite a lot of uncertainty! I have found that I otherwise feel so overwhelmed that even if a decision comes and brings good news, I still have an inexplicable anxiety that feels permanently lodged in the pit of my stomach hah. 
Good luck to everyone else who feels like they are sometimes going to tear their hair out and remember that (insert dream school name here) is just one of many ways to achieve your goals!! 

This is a question for posterity, mostly, since this doesn't seem to have been updated for a few years now.
Based on my limited observations, WWS obviously does the best. Sanford and LBJ seem pretty good. Harris is in the middle of the pack. SIPA and NYU Wagner are supposed to be rough, at least for incoming first-years. No idea what the HKS situation is like outside the very slim possibility of attaining a fellowship.
I know everyone's situation is different, but what has been your general observation? I'm sure funding also differs quite a bit for those who have no Full Time work experience vs. those with 2-3+ years as well. 

For 2017, their Tumblr "Admit" post went out March 5. Decisions released the 8th. That would be Monday the 12th in our case.
Another way to get to Monday release dates: it took them 96 days last year. 96 days this year = March 11 --> March 12 likely.
Any other predictions?
Good night.  

That would be ideal. 

That would be ideal. 

Tweet @hksadmissions seems like he is signing letters today!

Latest prediction: Matt is looking at our <30k views. "These are rookie numbers!" Once we hit that magic number, decisions roll in. So...tomorrowish.

I dont think tomorrow is D Day as nothing has been announced. Usually we can feel it from the last blog posts.

In less than 24 hours we'll have the results! This is almost over guys, hang in there and good luck to everyone!
Disclaimer: I'm just assuming admissions get released tomorrow, I have no certainty they will be released tomorrow haha.

Good morning everyone! Certainly not expecting a decision today but maybe we'll all be surprised.

Good luck, I hope things work out for you this year!

It was released in a scattered manner last year. Between March 9 and 12. So anything can happen. But I guess, not until later this week...

Any chance it could be this week?

From the blog:
 
HAVE MASTER'S PROGRAMS DECISIONS BEEN RELEASED? NO.

Any chance it could be this week?

Oh Matt. You're the best. 

The blog has added the ‘Have Masters results been released?’ tag. I think it’s gonna change for everyone before the results come out. Pls see the post on March 4, 2016. The result bar comes where the text has disappeared. So we can conclude it’s gonna be sooner than later! All the best people..,
 

I'm sure that very rarely happens. The short lists are supposed to be...short. LOL. Just don't have the interview the equivalent of a 1 (Critical Fail in DND) and you'll be fine. Please let us know when you get in!
