If I didn't get it wrong, the due for McCourt and Harris is April 15. I personally am a super fan of Harris, but I am on the waitlist of Harris. Harris is better than the other two schools in Academic aspect, and Harris has a master degree in environmental policy. I would recommend Harris.

@juanlisa Thanks a lot for the advice! I totally agree with you that everyone has its own situation to clarify, and the essay I want to update today is right this kind of essay. By the way, basically, I applied for the same programs like you, but I guess I am just not competitive enough to get the admission to Heinz's DA Track, which is my dream program. Still, I want to enhance my computational skills, so I choose the DSPP program over the SAIS at JHU. I must send my big congratulation to you!!! I believe you can achieve anything you want through the study at Heinz and wish you all the best! Again, your information really helped, thank you.

@juanlisa Cool, thanks a lot for the reply! if possible, could I add you and ask you about what aspects you emphasis in this additional essay? I have updated materials including one Quantitative Resume, one recent project, and a 38-page paper written by my mentor and me, and today I plan to submit one additional essay. After learning your experience, which is very helpful, now I am very cautious about my essay. Again, thank you! Your information is very helpful!

@juanlisa Hi, my situation is similar to yours, I was waitlisted by the MSCAPP program, but I received the offer of MS- Data Science for Public Policy form McCourt. Still, I truly wish to have the chance to study at Harris, even though it will be the MPP program. Thus, I have been keeping update my materials. Can you share some information about how you get off the waitlist? If so, this will be very helpful to me. You know for most Chinese students, they won't make their decisions until the last date, so I guess I still have one week to fight for a place at Harris. Thanks a lot!
