Has anyone heard back from Samvid Scholars yet?

Whoa, such an impressive profile. Admissions truly is a black box. Not too sound totally obnoxious but I have a similar profile, but with 4 years experience - part of which is in impact investing. I'm wondering what went wrong - high GREs, super quantitative undergrad (although I had quite a few Bs but the school is MIT/Stanford), 3 awesome LORs (albeit from the same workplace). Maybe the "why MPP" wasn't clear. Would my chances of getting in improve if I apply next year for the MPA instead and as a MIT MBA student? Anything y'all would suggesting changing in the above?
-
This + what did you do differently if you got in after reapplying?
-
Can someone post a screenshot of the acceptance letter (while keeping it anonymized of course)
-
Thank you! Dp you know if recommenders will be re-notified that their letters are being used?
-
Anyone willing to share a screenshot of their acceptance letter? Curious how it reads
-
Rejected (MPP) Going for my MBA at MIT though, and was planning to start there anyway and then at HKS in Fall 2022. Will probably reapply but for the MPA...maybe chances will be higher after a semester at MIT Sloan. Anyone know if they hold on to recommendation letters and/or essays?

RESULTS ARE OUT
-
So helpful, thanks Billy. What do you - wise one - think? Will decisions come out today given the portal changes reported?
-
Not 4pm EST either....
-
Adding fuel to the fire: all the MYFAID changes folks noticed last year happened Thursday morning, vs. for us it happened around or after noon. Given we're slightly delayed, could it mean our release could be 4pm or 5pm EST?
-
Matt in 2013: "My primary goal in running the Admissions Blog is to alleviate some of the stress and address some of the curiosity that comes naturally with the application process.". WHY DON'T YOU CARE ABOUT US MATT? *cry*
-
3:02 EST now....not today then. A part of me will wait till 5pm EST, but ugh, why did I get my hopes up?! And why on earth would they make those changes to the MYFAID portal?
-
Guys...if I may to manage expectations, HKS explicitly mentioned just one week ago that "decisions will be released in late March". 18th is by no means "late" March. I also find it weird that they didn't yet publish that standard "Here's how you will receive your decision" blog post yet. I still think it'll be sometime next week, but of course I may be wrong. These portal updates are weird + they must feel pressured given all of their peer programs have published + 100 days have passed + what's this thing some people have mentioned about current students telling them today is the day? Can y'all elaborate?
-
Didn't it also appear and disappear on decision day last year?
-
Same!! Also MPP applicant like you
-
Guys, how confident are we that decisions are being released today - Thursday, March 18th?
-
Thanks for all the effort you have put to provide transparency where HKS has totally failed to. I think it'll definitely be Thursday the 25th or Monday the 30th, and I wouldn't rely on any blog post except the one where they tell us how to expect receiving the "decision" email. Everything else is casual banter that they've totally skipped over this admissions cycle, no idea why.
-
Wow, I'd be very surprised if you don't get in. Keep us posted!
-
Ugh same here. I'm not a fan of the uncertainty they have kept us in, and to go from blog post every 2 days in the past to absolutely nothing in 3 months this year is also a transition that could have been explained. Oh well, what to do now except wait...I really hope its at least next week vs. Monday the 30th
-
Based on this, pretty sure it'll be next week. Expecting a blog post later this week stating the week during which decisions will be released. I'll send the email tonight!
-
Guys I might take one for the team and email HKS today asking if we can expect decisions this week or next, while justifying the email to "ease my anxieties" lmao. Assuming it won't effect their decision re: my status at this stage...right ?
-
Whoa, i really hope you're right!
-
Received the HKS magazine yesterday; MPP applicant based in NYC, did not apply for financial aid/fellowships. Related to what someone had said on this thread earlier, I'm fully confident this has nothing to do with admissions chances - HKS wouldn't be so silly. Either all applicants (or those in the US & Canada) will receive it, or those who had somehow checked some box in the application or expressed some form of interest in staying subscribed received it.
-
My money's on either Thursday the 25th or Monday the 30th (exactly 3 weeks after the MYFAID email was sent, like last year).
