Congrats to everyone who was accepted and for those who ventured to apply regardless of the result! That in and of itself is quite a feat. For those who have been accepted with a fellowship or are already at HKS do you know if they are willing to negotiate on stipends? They offered me a modest but helpful amount on top of a stipend from my external fellowship, but I also received a fellowship that provides tuition assistance so I now have a surplus. I am wondering if the surplus of tuition assistance from the two fellowships gives me any means to negotiate for a larger stipend from Harvard. I know I won't receive the excess funding but if anyone has any insight on how willing they are to negotiate that would be incredibly helpful! I am really hoping to find a way to offset housing costs and a larger stipend would help do that.

Still haven't heard from them. At this point does that probably mean it may be a rejection? Trying to mentally prepare lol

Thanks so much! It's tomorrow so if they are waiting to send out admissions decisions with finaid and fellowship decisions I see why it's not coming until later. Not sure if they are doing other interviews after this week but Friday was the latest interview spot they had open.

I got the magazine today and I am out in Seattle. Also got an invite to interview for the Belfer fellowship so that gave me hope. I thought they might be done interviewing for fellowships already but it seems they are still working through them!

Same! Anxiously waiting..

Still waiting. Good luck everyone!

I heard back from them on March 5th! So announcements may be rolling out still. Good luck!
