It's been a bit dissapointing to find out after the fact that both Kellogg and MIT Sloan have discontinued the ad hoc joint-degree programs with SAIS. Such a shame. SAIS is an amazing program and combines beautifully with an MBA. I wonder if politics or money are to blame? Has anyone had any luck this year arranging an ad hoc joint degree?
Well, let's just keep each other posted on any MPA-ID WL developments. I'm not terribly hopeful either, but Kennedy does usually take a few people from the WL since their fellowship funding isn't quite on par with WWS/SAIS/LSE etc. Best of luck to all of you.
Waitlisted for MPA/ID. I'm going to try to stay optimistic - getting admitted would be a dream for me. Anybody have any prior experience or knowledge of the MPA/ID waitlist?
seems like last year it was admits all in one go and then deny/waitlist afterward. The year before had more variation. That said, it's probably not looking good for those who haven't heard.
