Don't worry tkd, you can always still get in I really believe this. However if you are a Mason, go work for parliament or some head of state or something like that and then you will have their attention ... I would honestly not give up ... even if after 5 years ... Blessings!

Congratulations to the non Masons you must be thrilled with your outcome and wishing you all the best!

Folks I don't mean to turn this into a Ding rant but it seems a lot of people on this forum who applied onto the program have some amazing profiles out there!! I have looked at some profiles who have been accepted from previous years from my country (South Africa) and they are very unimpressive old school politics people who will likely never return to my country to do anything meaningful for the struggling people over there, ugh , just cause they were associated with big names in politics in their work history etc. Again Im sorry for the rant but it seems if you don't have a big title with some big name head of state or some minister associated with , you may not get onto the mid career program, no matter how sincere or passionate you are about the public good .. Let's go out there and make a change we are all going to do great things for the public, Harvard or not! ugh

Im sorry guys I dont think I would really worry if i were interested I would try and re apply and correct any pitfalls on the application ... A first time reject from Harvard is normalty I think, I know a lot of people who do get in the second time around ... Best of luck to the US Mid Careers sorry to frighten you with these posts ...

I just heard about my application decision about an hour ago. The decision is a reject ... Game is really over for the Masons Im sorry guys ... I guess the next decisions will be going out for the US MC/MPA's ... I wouldn't be worried if I were a real public policy person I would re apply and correct my application ... but the biggest issue for me was that my profile was really more MBA and this issue came up a lot even on the interview ... mostly corporate experience so I am genuinely no longer interested in HKS and will get on with other programs at other schools ... and the MBA Good luck to all I hope you all have fun on the JFK street corners! Much Blessings , I'm sooooooooooooooo re lieved!

My latest correspondence to the enrollment admissions people Why won't they say if we have been rejected , I specifically asked if Masons who have not been notified by now have been rejected... how can I find out my status for sure and not the generic ... what does this email mean ... Dear ......, Mason applicants will be notified by April 30 of their application decision. Kind Regards, Admissions Staff

Sorry for the crying note folks, I am travelling right now and I called home yesterday and they told me I had a big package that arrived on the mail, well the app status on sparks is still nothing so it can't be that surely sparks would have also been updated I had a dream that my application file had a waiting note until May at the top and a recommendation for admission in the bottom, ugh ... it must have been illusions It's not the end of the world and good luck with other schools guys!!!! Something better is most likely around the corner...

OMG are you kidding me ? I'm going to confirm this I have some enrollment officer contacts and maybe call in ... are you sure this is reliable information ? What a way to be notified of rejection this is not nice So no one from the Mason apps on this forum can tell us if they were notified of acceptance ... awwwwwwwwwww *crying* Good luck everyone hopr all your career goals come true, blessings!

thank you so much for the info vmk! omg now I'm losing hope, surely they would have notified us by now especially as we need to do visas and finances omg

the start date is definitely mid July I was anticipating around 21st for the mason's, it obviously helps and is recommended to settle down in Cambridge by June's end

tkd I was also interviewed for the mason mmpa on march 7th, the interview was not easy just like any harvard interview really but felt it went ok, i believe all mason apps are interviewed ?? everyone, from previous years, people have received either mailing or email notification of decision good luck i hope someone frees us from the anticipation turmoil soon!

have any edward s mason apps heard yet ? will you guys please update as soon as you hear, Im just about getting a heart attack now from anxiety. Imagine the planning one has to do? if one doesnt know what does one do good luck everyone hope to see you all at hks this year xoxoxoxo
