I can still log into both...but honestly, who's to say what this means

Aww come on, give the admissions team a break! The school is going through some pretty mad chaos right now, huh?
 

In the meantime, have a cheeky pint or two and try not to look at this forum too much ?  Right now, I’m just trying to ignore that lurching feeling in my stomach whenever I think about the portal being updated with decisions soon.

I’m coding a new app to pass the time—anybody doing anything that’s keeping their minds off decisions?

We've to wait for more than, or about, 325 hours from now for results!! Try to sleep as many hours as possible.. ? 

At the cost of repetition, my guess is that result should be announced on March 12, 2020 which is 100th day since application deadline, HKS's favorite day- i.e. Thursday (they keep Friday available for FinAid or any other additional updates) and exactly three weeks early than the MPP campus-visit day scheduled on April 3, 2020.  

Went through the MBA process last year (adding on an MPA dual degree through HKS). I can recommend video games to help deal with being in your head too much while waiting for decisions.

NOTE: I am *very* bad at video games, but I would just put them on the easiest mode possible and mash the sh*t out of those buttons. Honestly, the MBA admissions process was like 10x more anxiety inducing for me, so if anyone is feeling stressed, it helps! I feel like I turned into a pre-pubescent teenage boy for the months of waiting for decisions ?

I also didn't get a CPL interview (I applied for the Bacon Fellowship). I applied for another fellowship through the Belfer Center, which I think I may be notified about separately and at a later date. Does anyone else know about how that works?

Congrats to those of you who got interviews! Remember your STAR method

Ditto and I didn’t get an interview invite either. Ah well. Let’s hope for good news coming in the next few weeks, good luck everyone!

Hi. Fellow lurker. Like others, I am also carrying an immense amount of anxiety. So I decided to call. 

I called Brandon Ward (the dude that sent out the initial CPL emails to every applicant), and he said that they are still rolling out notifications today, and will continue to do so until early next week. 

Hope this helps and best of luck to everyone!! There is hope!!

You're a champion. Thank you for your service

but it's 2:19PM EST right now..... why would they send the email over the weekend?

 I'm saying they would have been sent off this morning ☝️

My bet is that they would actually be sent off in the morning, but who's to say?

Hi, another anxious soul here ?. No email either
