I've finally received news today that I was successful in my application. Unfortunately without funding though. =(
-
Has anybody else heard any further? Or still waiting on news?
I'm still waiting for an answer...
-
I am also still waiting to hear from LKYSPP. Not sure of the reason for the prolonged wait, but the fact that so many of us are still waiting gives me reason to believe that they haven't yet rolled out all offers.
Hopefully this wait ends soon.

Lse is lower than nus in both qs and thes. I don't think lse opens more doors than nus unless you are interested in working in Europe, and even that is debatable, but wages in europe are usually quite low.
Ah yes, you are correct on NUS being higher than LSE - sorry, I should clarify. I meant LSE is ranked higher than NUS specifically for the social policy and administration program.

Hey everyone!
I was admitted this morning with a full ride + stipend! I didn't have an interview, and submitted two weeks before the due date.
I am trying to decide now between London School of Economics and NUS! Any advice? Anyone know of international MPP rankings or what sites would be good for seeing LSE and NUS's standing in the world?
Congratulations! LSE is is higher in terms of world ranking, but the scholarship and stipend make NUS the easy choice (IMHO).
Further, the LKYSPP has an exchange program with LSE and several other schools around the world including SIPA, SAIS, Sciences Po and Hertie (if you qualify based on your academic performance in your first year).
Though, I'm unsure of what happens to your scholarship and stipend if you do choose to do an exchange program.

I believe that the first round of offers is imminent. I had a check on the NUS Graduate Application portal and noticed a new field called 'Admission Reply' - something I didn't notice before. However, my admission status still states 'N/A'.
-
No news for me either.

Have anyone heard from LKY either on MIA, MPP or MPA?
I haven't yet heard on my MPP application.
I'm not gonna lie - I have been checking my emails, the graduate admission system and this forum very frequently this week for any sign of news.
Best of luck to all of us

How does the MPP program at LKY compared to the MIB program at the Fletcher School, in terms of jobs prospects. Fletcher with its Harvard Connection seems like a better choice, prima facie. Would appreciate a second opinion on this.
The LKY definitely has a strong record for employment outcomes amongst their graduates (90-ish% of MPP graduates land a job within their first year of graduation).
However, much of the employed graduates end up working in Asia. If working in Asia is aligned to your career aspirations, I would suggest LKYSPP being the better option.

Fascinating profile, Lurcher! You must have had a killer SOP with your journalism, writing skills and experience. Wish you all the best!

The results release dates have varied in previous years with initial release dates ranging from mid-March to early April.
I received a generic email advising that interviews continue through the month of March and results are released in April.
News on the outcome can't come soon enough =/
I have yet to receive an interview invitation (unsure if that's a good thing or not as I can't figure out what criteria is used by LKYSPP for selecting applicants to be interviewed)

Thanks Marky. I'm hoping for good news by then, but haven't received an interview invitation at this point.

Congrats! I also got my interview call on 14th for MPP. The interview is scheduled tomorrow. All the best!
All the best for your interview!
Would you mind sharing a bit of your profile? I've applied for the MPP as well and have not heard from them.

Has anyone received an update from the LKYSPP admission?
Still waiting
Perhaps to alleviate this anxious wait, we can put our minds off it (albeit briefly) by sharing our background and experience?
I'll start! I have 5 years work experience in professional services providing consulting services for state government. I've applied for the MPP as a means for getting into public policy as a career change .

Has anyone received an Invite for Interview.
I haven't heard from them yet. I reckon that Chinese New Year celebrations are likely to delay their interview invitations.

Yup that did happen. But other documents still remain unverified. What about yours?
I've got green ticks for all of them. Though I do recall it took a few days before they were verified as submitted.

Ive applied. Just submitted the application.
EDIT: Slightly confused by how the referral system works. Once you submit your application, an automatic email goes out to the recommender right? My recommender still hasn't got his email. Wondering if I did something wrong?
It should be immediate. May be worth checking if you entered the right email address or asking your referee to check their spam inbox.
When they finish the referee report, you should get a big fat green tick under the document check link in your application.

I believe only those from ASEAN countries can apply for the ADB scholarship. I was not nominated to apply
