  6. Hi everyone, This is just me unnecessarily worrying but I just realized all my HKS essays are double-spaced. Considering the fellowship essays are supposed to be single-spaced, I was wondering if I had accidentally missed spacing instructions for our application essays. Does anyone know if HKS prefers one over the other? Thanks!
  7. Hi! Waiting as well! Good luck everyone!
  8. Hi! Same here! Quick question about the app--does the motivation letter need to be in a cover letter format or just normal essay format? Thanks!
  9. Hi, Int student studying in the States here! It usually takes them a couple of weeks to update the portal. I had this happen to me with Columbia but no need to worry. You could reach out to them in a couple of weeks if it still shows as awaiting but for now you're good! Mine also shows as awaiting.
  10. Thanks so much! You too! I didn't. I am applying to the other fellowships though because I will be needing full aid.

  13. Got in for International Security concentration and Conflict Resolution Specialization! Awarded 50% scholarship/fellowship!
  14. Hi fellow SIPA applicants, Urgent question. I applied early too. However, I was just told by a friend that its considered unprofessional to upload a resume that is more than 2 pages long. Is it me or did SIPA ask for a 3-4 pages long resume? I submitted a 4-page-long resume. I can't find where I got this information from but now I am freaking out haha.
  15. If we are applying early action, are we expected to complete the fellowship essays by Nov 1 or by the declared deadline of January 5? Wasn't sure how it worked for early applicants.
  16. Hi! Thanks for your comments. I have looked at Oxford's MPP and GGD program and might apply later in the year if time permits. I prefer to stay in the States tho! Fletcher is actually one of my top choices, I like the community-centric approach of the program. Also, it seems more flexible than others. Why do you think it will struggle in the future?
