Haven't heard anything so far Several waitlisted candidates who have contacted the admission team told me that they receive no answer

Hi, so far I haven't received further decision from the admission team..

It's for all programs ?

Waitlisted for Mason MC/MPA, Hope there will be earlier announcement in April.

Applied for MAS and being rejected, but at least I have tried (it's free after all, hahaha). Very limited seats available (8 at max), so I knew my chances were slim. Congratulations for those who receive the offer!

I heard some will go to Princeton MPP where the tuition is covered.. Yale's MAS do not offer any scholarship. I haven't heard about Harris' MAIDP, Goldman's MPA, or SIPA's one year MPA..

It can be true for the MC/MPA in general, but may be not for Mason program where many of the applicants are coming from countries with much lower income compared to developed countries. It can be hard if they got admitted but with no or only a small portion of funding.

Thank you for the new thread..!! I am waitlisted, but already got a scholarship+stipends from outside HKS. If I am not mistaken, there are at least 5 known waitlisted candidates on MPP 2021 thread.

Me too. Today I feel nervous and can't focus.. I guess the admission team will do something different this year..

Apparently, Jackson will be upgraded as a larger Public Policy School in 2022..

Wow, thank you for the detailed opinion and explanation! It's true that my academic performance is not impressive, but I hope my unique background, career development, and positive impact will strengthen the application.

Thank you for your reply, I agree with you, no GRE is indeed a weakness. I haven't take any GRE because I live in Kalimantan Island (not in Java, where the capital city is located) and due too COVID-19 pandemic I can't go by plane to Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia (I planned to take GRE on May/June 2020). Moreover, online GRE will be difficult as internet access is quite limited here. Anyway, I have read both HKS Mason MC/MPA and Jackson MAS, both do not require GRE. So, does the No-GRE factor will really drag my chances down, or there's still a good chance on them?
