Same as the above post. Go to the HKS.

I live here in DC and there is a ton of networking here with either the Elliot school or Columbia degree. I am not sure how your family is financially, but I would choose the Elliott school for the full-ride. Plus you don't know how the economy will be down the road. And that is my 2 cents.

I got rejected. So I guess it is Syracuse Maxwell School here I come. I guess I got a clear sign from God. Congrats to everyone with their Graduate School plans.

Well I already have a ton of agricultural background but I want to tie that in with national and international security policies/affairs, whick HKS has.

Thanks for the advice and for the info. Yeah I am thinking I might only be one of a few people (or not many), who applied for the IGA that have an agriculture background, and want to do food security.

This is for MPP.

Yes I have not been admitted/rejected yet. According to the website, I was suppose to find out last month or earlier this month and April is just around the corner.

I don't have any stats any where for you but this link might help. http://www.hks.harvard.edu/degrees/admi ... s-profiles I do remember reading a few years back, and they said some of the Kennedy students scores were in the 700 range (GMAT overal score). I found it on the Kennedy website back in 2005 I think. Not sure if they took it down. Not sure how to compare it with the GRE scores. There is no min. GPA that you are asking about. If there where, I probably would not have applied.

Did you try giving them a ring or call at least?

Hi jly ! I live here right here in DC. I would go to AU for the masters degree since you have networking here in DC. Plus I would also which one would be cheaper down the road or you would not be too much in debt. Best of luck !

I predict that we will not hear admissions until March 30/31. Sad to say...Yes I know. I think 10 will get accepted, 20 rejections, and a few wait listed. And we or I will not hear until 4:50 p.m. (ET) on March 30. As far as the cinderella teams go, I predict Arizona over Utah by 3 points in a last second shot to prevent overtime. :shock:

I think they are pretty disorganized and I have seen a lot of disorganized things in my days. I was out with some Georgetown students last night and forgot to ask them what they though of the GPPI admissions folks. Anyways, I contacted the G-town Admissions office yesterday and they NOW said we are suppose to hear back on Monday, March 23 in who gets in or not. So hopefully that happens...Anyone care to place their bets or wages?!? I just think is crazy how some people have not heard a pep yet and especially with their open houses around the corner. Luckily if I get in, I am not that far from DC in order to attend. But I think it is terrible how I don't hear anything. I sent them various emails and I know they get a ton of them...but I never once got a response execpt for one of them when I did not execpt to get one. The schools that I have been accepted to and other schools that I have not found out yet have been in constant communications with me. Not sure what the deal is with Gtown?

Well I guess it will come when it comes, and I guess they are getting a ton more applications than normal. Just have to wait and see 8)

I applied for the IGA program track as well. The only additional funding that you are mentioning or that I am aware of was the harvard fellowship essay. I did apply for that though by the deadline. As far as the application essays go, I talked about food security (since I worked at USDA for a few years) in relation to national and international security. I believe it is an important area of security that individuals don't really look into. If our overall food area is attacked, we are all screwed.

So who here has not heard from the MPP program at Gtown besides me?!? I am just curious and antsy since I am still waiting to hear back from them as well as KSG.
