Excited to say I heard back from MAIDP on Thursday and it was good news. Sending best wishes to those that are waiting!
I do have a concern/ question about the MAIDP program at Harris however. I was accepted to the program but not to the Obama Fellowship (an extremely bittersweet moment for sure!) Based on the conversation I had with the admissions team, the class for the MAIDP will be approximately 20 Obama Fellows and 20 MAIDP non Obama Fellows. Since the MAIDP program was initially launched to compliment the Obama Fellowship Program (as far as I can tell) I am worried that the curriculum/ structure of the MAIDP will feel incomplete without the additional leadership and training opportunities that fellows receive. Furthermore, I am concerned based on a combination of the current language of the website and a bit of my own self doubts, that non-Obama Fellow MAIDP students may be the ugly ducklings of the class.
Anyone else accepted to the MAIDP program but not the Obama Fellowship and if so, any thoughts on the above?
Anyone familiar with Harris that has an opinion/ thoughts on this?
Thanks so much and best of luck (and deep breaths) to all during this time!
