Congrats to all admitted! Are the decisions from the MPP or MPA or both? I applied to the MPA, still waiting...

Yes, admitted last week!

@DrPH2016 they haven't announced financial aid decisions yet but should do so soon. My understanding is the package can be anywhere between 0-100% of your tuition costs.

Just wanted to start a topic on this year's results for the Princeton WWS MPA. I applied for the ID concentration with a focus on health policy. Assuming we hear back in mid-March. Anyone else waiting?

Just to add another datapoint here, I also had an interview with a professor last week. It was about half hour, fairly standard questions on fit, background, teamwork, successes, challenges faced. My understanding from my conversation with the professor/current students is that if you don't get an interview you won't have a chance for admission, and if you have an interview you can still be rejected or waitlisted, but it means you made the cut to the final round, so your chances are a bit higher. Good luck to everyone!

That's interesting -- I emailed to ask about my status and got a different answer yesterday: "DrPH interviews will be scheduled in the upcoming weeks, and decisions will be sent shortly thereafter-between the middle and end of February. Thank you for your interest in the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health."

Hello there, I'm a rising senior, Economics major/Political Science minor in a top liberal arts college who's wishing to apply for a graduate/PhD program in Political Economy or Development Economics. The problem with me is though, that I haven't taken many quantitative classes which are prerequisites for most econ graduate programs - i've only done basic calculus and statistics/econometrics. My GPA also isn't as high - it's in the 3.40 range. So, what could be my options? Could I apply to a politics graduate program and focus on any of these? What schools are within my reach? Thanks!
