They said the results would be started from early April. Yesterday (April 2nd) was a public holiday in Singapore, so it was natural that we did not hear back yet. I think it is likely that at least the first batch of the results will be released during the next week. 

If HKS announce their results today, this will be the most disappointing performance on their admissions blog front, ever. There was a reason why the Decision process mails used to be posted. It was to pace things and inform candidates of some basic yet important aspects, especially like application update status (not everyone ought to be a master at knowing how and where to check and all in the face of heightening tension) I cannot believe that an adcoms team as competent as that of HKS couldn't find the time to post blogs with almost the exact content from previous years to keep the traditional flow going. 
Even the pandemic doesn't merit such a departure from tradition. So I will continue to believe that normalcy will resume shortly and we will see the Decision process blog popping up in our mails.
But hey, I am definitely not complaining if it's today!

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*

its 2:57, we have three minutes, please

like this if you are not Matt

Me watching this thread today.

Definitely not doing this again lol. Probably blocking GradCafe from my browser until decisions come out if they don't come out today. Can't have another unproductive day like this

please remove "anxious" prefix from your name ?

I've gotten word, and someone else on this blog has gotten word that  it is happening today.  99.99% sure its happening today.  Everything that happened last year and the year before should not be applied to this year.  We've gone weeks without any of the HKS application blogs, i wouldnt apply the same logic from previous years to this year.  Its happening today.

Thank you all! The people on this thread have been there throughout this anxious phase. You guys are the best!

Them updating the portal is only indicative that they will release decisions soon, which could mean today or next week. Lets hope it is today though!

Have not gotten word back from BSG yet, but I suspect that rejections will come on Thursday or Friday so we will have to wait and see. 

For future applicants
I actually disagree. I was accepted this year with no connection to Oxford and a family of school teachers, three years out of undergrad at a mid-tier U.S. research university (not Ivy), 3.83/4.0 GPA, 158Q/164V/5.5AW GRE, with mid-level jobs in NGOs for the three years I have been out of school. I am international (US) so that helps, and I speak Spanish fluently. Also, I only had my professors and my work supervisors write references (no government officials here!). Honestly I was surprised I was accepted, but I really encourage people to give it a go. The most important thing is to have a very strong reason *why* you want to go, and to really spend a lot of time *perfecting* your statement of purpose. I also really encourage people to choose people who know you well and who hold you in high esteem to write your letters, rather than someone with a high ranking title. I fully, entirely believe that I won a lucky draw. However, I don't think it's fair to deter people entirely from even trying. 

Hey guys, all applicants for Harvard's MPP programme 2021, let us get our conversation started! Results are going to be out this month. I wish everyone all the very best!
