I got $10,000.

I do.

In my case, I'm at a large-ish but independently owned firm. The firm realized that undergrads are pretty much never ready for prime-time in consulting apart from behind the scenes analytical work, so they hire undergrads into internal/administrative roles where they cut their teeth and learn a ton about our clients and what consulting is actually like before they move you to one of the consulting practices. I spent about 1.5 years as a proposal writer responding to government RFPs and working with the consultants to sketch out what our approach would be should we win the work. After writing hundreds of proposals and detailing the specific steps we'd take on a project, the transition into actually doing the work was very smooth, and the firm got time to really get to know me before putting me in front of a client.

It's been mentioned and confirmed in the forums of previous years, and the email itself indicates that it should not be construed as an indication of acceptance. The only reason that would be the case is if everyone receives it. 

God, this wait is killing me, and I feel like its not going to be till Wednesday...:/

Unlikely as this year's dates/deadlines, as well as postings to the HKS blog are following a delayed schedule compared to all previous years. Based on how this year's deadlines have corresponded to previous years so far, we're most likely looking at the 25th

Do we think tomorrow is the day for MSFS? I really like Georgetown. I hope it works out for everyone! 

Completely agree - I'm in Toronto, Canada, my last name starts with M, and I received a magazine earlier this week. I didn't for a moment think it meant I was accepted, and I figure I must've opted in (or forgotten to opt out) to receive their magazine. I'm only going to look through it if I'm accepted though - I don't want to get my hopes up and then get a rejection email next week.

Personally, I expect them to keep with their Friday informal tradition. Especially because we got a glimpse into their progress this week (welcome video, admitted students site), I fee like they are gearing up to share decisions. This isn't based on any other insider info though, so who knows! 

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!

@KcNc2019did you apply for financial aid/interview for a fellowship as well? I wonder if its only going out to applicants who applied to/interview for specific fellowships....
