Hi guys, Would anyone know if HKS's deadline for Recommendation letters is much later than the deadline for the applications on Dec. 3? My recommenders seem to be taking their time!
Program Applied To (MPA, MPP, IR, etc.): MPP
Schools Applied To: HKS, WWS
Schools Admitted To:
Schools Rejected From:
Still Waiting:
Undergraduate institution: Non-US
Undergraduate GPA: We don't use GPA but very average
Last 60 hours of Undergraduate GPA (if applicable):
Undergraduate Major: Psychology
GRE Quantitative Score: Don't know yet but it won't be good

Describe Relevant Work Experience: I was a anti-corruption prosecutor for 4 years. Prior to that I was in the private law field.
Strength of SOP (be honest, describe the process, etc): My commitment to public service is quite clear, but I think my goals are not specific enough. Also I focused on my anti-corruption work which doesn't seem to fit any of the 2 school's specialties.
Strength of LOR (be honest, describe the process, etc): As always, securing the LORs was the hardest part of my application. No matter how early I ask for them, they still wait for the last minute (hence my question above!). I would not say they are strong based on their profiles, but they are in a position to judge my capabilities well I think.
