I had the same thing happen to me and just noticed the change in my SPARKs account. I e-mailed the Admissions Office and here is what they said:
"If you did not meet the requirements for the MPA2 program, you were considered for the MPP program. If you did meet the requirements for the MPA2 program, you were considered for that program. All applicants are only considered for one program."
This leads me to believe that if we haven't heard from the MPP admissions results by now, we were probably considered for the MPA2. I guess we will have to wait another week for the result? Not sure if our changes are better under the MPA2 process?? Is there anyone who has been through the same situation?
Confused.

Okay, anyone in the same situation?
I applied to HKS MPP and haven't heard anything yet. When I check my embark status, it says "thank you for applying to the MPA program" !! What is that? I remember checking the box "do you want to be considered for the MPA2" but I didn't think it would automatically change my application which is originally to the MPP... I don't have the credentials to be considered for the MPA2, I checked this stupid box thinking it was a formality.
Anyone with the same problem? Thoughts?
