Hi amaka, I think you mentioned you are an re-applicant from last year. Just out of curiosity, did you receive a MYFAIT account last year and had to go through all the internal changes in the account right prior to decision release? Many thanks!

Countdown, it's a horror movie, pretty good to kill time. Should be on Xfinity now.

Chill guys, Given the tone from blogpost 22 I feel like the final release date would most likely to be this coming Friday（Mar.20th), which I am personally kind of wishing it that way so that the Admissions Committee at HKS could take this one more day to mitigate all pressures around them regarding COVID-19 and decision-release processes. I mean, what does it even matter to give them one more day or so for cushion in exchange for operational accuracy and institutional efficiency? To be very honest, given such a current circumstance even if the final decisions kicked in by next week I wouldn't be in too much of a surprise. Folks, the situation of Boston right now is really not "traditional", and for that matter I just wish extra understanding and alleviation to the challenges facing any decision maker and implementer on ground right now shall be considerately offered to them. Chill, my marvelous guys! Hope everyone stay safe, happy, and healthy. Best, Scully & Pegasus(pending)

Hey guys, By now the entire Harvard system is moving online due to COVID-19 contingency and students are asked to leave dorms by Sunday. For the record HKS is working as a pivot to coordinate and navigate amid all these mess since this kind of pandemic is basically a duty of public healthcare and public administration to fulfill, which falls exactly into HKS’s work expertise. So we can imagine how crazily busy all the HKS offices could be at this point. Remember that Graduate Admission is only a part of their collective routine duty as they have to care for a way bigger picture at this near-catastrophic moment facing all human kind. So, please give them some time and allow all parties more cushion to multi-tasking and powering through this difficult era. This is not easy for EVERYBODY, I mean everybody, including the whole admissions committee at HKS and all other personnels and departments co-working with them. And guys, for the record, what we want to be is future leaders in public administration/policy-making, that’s why we are here, that’s why we are all aiming to HKS. Stay in mental serenity when there is chaos, keep organized and functional when there is mayhem, remain calm and endurable when there is ordeal. We are incredibly powerful HKS applicants with mind of steel and heart of sunshine, we can deal with this ONE MORE WEEK all together. We are just gonna have more fun, chat, communications, and joys here. At the same time let’s stay indoor and contribute our part to preventing further spread-out of COVID-19 in the world. Beautiful things happen when you stay positive and open-minded. Like my dad cancelled my spring break flight to L.A. a couple of days ago, yet in ruins of my devastated hope for all amazing cuisines, cultures, sceneries, and entertainments in L.A., instead I found YOU, ALL OF YOU on this awesome forum while staying put in Boston. What a great alternative that totally beats an outdoor spring break!

Thanks, nice buddy from Shanghai! It's actually not a huge problem for me as my chronically tortured, excruciating nerve system is kind of Stone Age numb by now. So the decision either come out tomorrow with the new blogpost about ADMITTED, or it will come out on Friday and then FIN info will follow up on next Monday. It's actually quite usual for ADMIN to work in spring break because this is basically, literally, what they do--work through spring break, like every year. ? (I know, brutal, even for them.) Everybody stay tuned! Just one more day...

Congrats!! That actually might largely ease your pressure as I only applied for HKS this year. So imagine the stress for me right now. ???

Laughed the crap out of me, COVID-20! I don't think your co-application to Harvard with your partner will play any correlated role in your own application as both schools operate applications in different way with independent admissions committees. Best of luck!

Thanks ch442, I feel so soothing that I found this place with u guys!

Hey guys I am new! First launching. Does anyone know somehow why we didn't get an email notification as we usually do for the Blog Update 17 that 's just released earlier today?
