The entire section at the bottom with a message is gone. The top left section to navigate messages also shows only “menu” now, no “documents & messages” anymore. Anyone on the same boat?

yeah, exactly the same.

Does anyone know how many applicants the MPP program had last year?

[HKS 2018]

My bet is Wednesday.

I have a hard time focusing at work. Tomorrow it'll be the same.

Twas the Day 'Fore Admissions

'Twas the day 'fore admissions, and all through the forum,
Not a person was working, they'd built quite a quorum. 
Their essays were written, with pride and with care, 
But would they get in? Not a one was aware. 

They paced through their offices and homes oh so stressed, 
While their little hearts beated away in their chests.
They gnawed at their nails and rended their flesh,
They rapped on their keyboards, and tapped at refresh. 

An email arrived! The time! It has come!
Oh, no, wait, it's just a letter from mum. 
"Ugh, Mom!" they did shout. "Can't you see that I wait?
For a letter from Harvard to come on this date?"

And far off in Cambridge, the admissions committee,
Laughed and sneered and guffawed without pity.
They sipped on their mai tais and laughed at the plebs,
"Having fun waiting, you dorks and you dweebs?"

But at last they decided, long enough they had waited, 
They'd read and reread, discussed and debated.
They gave off a shout and it rang through the city
"Behold a decree from the admissions committee!"

They turned to the students at The Grad Cafe
Who'd fretted and talked, and stopped working all day,
"We think you're quite swell, and you're so very cool
Welcome to Harvard's John F. Kennedy School!"

This was shared last year by one of the applicants. I found it so great and cool I had to share it xD

It says on pg 3 that the admissions answer will be given the week of march 12th. I am pretty sure it will be exactly the 14th.

Thank you!

That would be awesome. Did you go to Admit Day? I enjoyed it!

No, I couldn't attend. I'm an international student so,  unfortunately,  Admit Day wasn't an option for me ($$)

Harris. God-willing Princeton if I get in but nothing is on the table on that front.

If not at HKS, I might as well see you in Harris, then

What about you?
What would be your next option? Harris?

I also feel it'd be too hard to get accepted into HKS, yet there is always a tiny bit of hope xD

But I feel particularly bummed today. I received news form Sanford, Duke and was placed on their wait list. Not a rejection, but it makes me wonder how differently HKS will look at my application.

Oh wait, now I have one. And it says (Active), too. Maybe @PrestorJohn was right - everyone will get one eventually. 

Haha me too... finally...

Initials are E. A.

i hate to add to the reading of tea leaves, but i'm curious: for those who have been assigned a counselor, does it say (Active) next to their name?

oh.. my neck hurts.. hahaha 

All those changes have to mean something. 

[HKS 2018]

I keep logging in and out... xD

No changes so far.. Not in MYFAID, not in my Application portal.

Same with me (also MPP). Seems a bit odd that they assign counselors to candidates they’re going to reject.

I didn't get assigned a counselor (at least not yet). Did you receive the notification via e-mail? or did you check directly in your MYFAID portal?

Welcome to Gradcafe! My text also has not changed. I don't think it's changed for many MPPs yet.

Thank you!!!

I really hope they release decisions this week, but as someone said before, they seem to follow a pattern... I'll go with Wednesday 14th.

[HKS 2018]

Hello!
MPP applicant here! 

I have followed this thread over the past month and decided to join today, as I wait for the results. 

I got accepted to Harris Chicago and Mccourt Georgetown (both MPP), with some funding, but HKS is my dream school. I'm trying to convince myself that it might just not happen, but still... 

By the way, there are no changes in my application management page. That text some people said had disappeared, is still there for me. Anyone else in this situation?

Good luck everyone!
