Congrats on your admission results. I think you can definitely argue it for yourself. However, I am not sure if Harris is significantly less competitive than law schools . I apply to both Harris(MSCAPP)and GWU law too. I am surprised to find out that Harris put me to Round one for their MPP program considering my quantative background. In contrast, it is relatively safe to get a spot at GWU with some scholarship once your LSAT score is higher than 165. Law schools in D.C are really overpriced and my rent was never below 12 hundred while living there. So the cost of attendance is still probably pretty high even after factoring in the scholarship and that may make it harder for you to negotiate with Harris. Not sure what your career objective is but I think you may be better off if you go along with law school. Good luck!

@jontwk Hopefully. That was just my guess. MSCAPP seems to have a much smaller class size and candidate pool, so I am not surprised they keep us to the end. But this hold is unnecessary and annoying for sure

Thanks for the update. I may need to wait a bit longer since they seem to be busy with notifying MPP candidates now and I actually applied to another program at Harris.

Isnt it gonna be in the portal this evening? Honestly I don’t know why they can’t just post it during their work hours.

I am applying to law schools too. I don’t think I can get into U Chicago tho.
