Just got accepted into HKS for MPP off the waitlist
Congrats!!

I called and asked...

Apparently we'll hear by May 1st by the way. Hope that helps.

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?

In the email I received from HKS on Mach 22, they said they would know after/around May 15th. Where did the April date come from? I understand that's when admitted students needed to accept/decline - but do we have any idea reason to think waitlist offers will be made anytime soon?
Maybe it depends on the program? Mine said 'We will have a better idea of your prospects for admission after April 15'

Hi - any updates from KSG waitlisters? They said we'd hear after April 15th. Let's keep each other posted and fingers crossed for all!

I'm one of the lucky ones who got accepted into the IDEV track (which frankly, I was surprised by as my econ background is limited to 2 courses taken at the USDA Graduate School). However, as I recently started a job that I really like with an international development NGO, I'm actually not planning to attend grad school at all this year (so one of you may get my spot from the IDEV waitlist!). I'm debating whether to defer for a year or to decline altogether and reapply in 2-3 years. I didn't get any funding (other than loans) this time around. If I decline, am I hurting my chances of being readmitted in the future? Am I likely to get more funding with several years of additional experience in the field? (I already have two years of Peace Corps experience and some other semi-relevant work experience). Has anyone here declined and later been admitted? For those who did get funding, how many years of work experience do you have?
I got into IDEV (significant funding) with 4 years of work experience in development-related financial services. Hope that helps.

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.

I'm an MPA-ID waitlist. Do we have any idea how many of us are in the same position? I'd guess only 10 or so since the program is so small.
-
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?
-
All is still quiet on the MPA-ID front, I assume...
-
that's big news - thanks for letting us know.
-
In my mind, they're sitting around a table making last minute decisions. Writing individualized acceptance letters don't take this long.
-
thanks for calling! we all appreciate it.
-
kudos to whomever called the admissions office. you're my new friend.
-
Still quiet for today? perhaps they're late into the office given they were sending admits out until midnight...
-
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.
-
There will be a bit of a wait while they prepare FinAid/fellowship packages, no? Seems like next couple weeks is a better bet.

Nice all. Any MPA-IDs?
