This isn’t a salty post at all but I don’t know how they cannot do a rational analysis of the relevance of financial aid to offer acceptance. Someone on the forum earlier said every year HKS loses bright students to WWS because of releasing financial aid late, and they don’t want that. But how does preponing financial aid timeline make a difference if they are not serious about how no funding delegitimises the feeling of admission altogether? Even a simple cognitive perspective on this would reveal the same.
For a school as meticulous as HKS, they really do fall behind on correlating aid with the class quality. If I attend the school, I’m going to raise this (humbly) with the admissions office. 
No funding for me either. Applying for external ones though.
PS: I am browsing through the forum reading news of all those who received fellowships, and frantically liking all your posts because I’m super super happy for you all! Congrats @tropisk_winter @2018Hopeful and others I cant recall of the top of my memory as I type this. Will see you all shining there if I attend this year. ❤️

Accepted to the MPP program. I am so honored and surprised. I’ve been putting off grad school for a few years, and have endured hundreds of conversations with my parents asking me what I was doing with my life when I went into AmeriCorps and chose to work in nonprofits. I went through this application process quietly and didn’t tell anyone in my life other than my SO and recommenders. Guess I have big news to share...

i wish you all a happy, healthy and successful life, no matter what your CV says in the end, Harvard or not, it doesn’t really matter for a good life. So, chins up, tomorrow will be a new day. Peace!

As if they don’t know the reason for the increase in traffic!

I guess they could. My guess is that they finished reading names and matt went to sign letters while other people on the team finalized things in the system? Hoping for 5pm-ish

Got into WWS. Will mostly be my choice!

Same here. It may have caused a flow of unnecessary/unwanted calls to financial aid counselors.

Will tomorrow be the day  I am set on Wednesday, but I can't help but be hopeful that it is tomorrow.

got into the Heller MPP with a 60% merit scholarship. so that'll get me through the weekend! fingers crossed for everyone getting their SIPA decisions as we speak!

I have one now too, also last name R.

Simple google search ... KS for MPA and EA for MPP and MPA

I think prester john is right, we will all be assigned FCs before they release the result !!!
 
Good luck everyone ...  I admit it is a bit unnerving, but then that is the exciting bit that we will remember when we tell our stories to the next generations irrespective of our successes or failures  

Tweet @hksadmissions seems like he is signing letters today!

I have been assigned a financial aid counselor - it's in my MYFAID portal. Didn't get a separate message for it though. 

No, just saying that people should've received one email with a link to MY FAID with login info. Trying to find out if everybody received it or not.

That's what I understand from the website's info
