Maestro - did you apply to the HBS dual or with another b-school? I appied to the dual through Tuck, so just curious!
Hey Expressodc,
Yea, actually I applied to HKS and HBS dual degree program. And my main application position was tailor for the MPP/MBA program. I also applied to other B-schools that had an arrangement with HKS for MPP/MBA program.
To answer other's questions, no the email I received did not actually ask whether I would like to be considered for MPA2. Rather, the Ad Com told me he was switching my status after realizing that I clicked the MPA2 option also. I asked him whether I can be considered for MPP (put me backb to my original choice) and he said he switched it back.
Way I understand it is that MPP is more structured than MPA2. In addition, MPP requires a thesis, but MPA2 does not. However, I have a very relatively specific goal post graduation so MBA/MPP is my choice. Just hope I get the interview invite from HBS soon.
Best wishes. I recently received a request to submit additional information from Tuck as well. I guess I will know where I stand with that school in the next few days.

I'm interested in finding out exactly what that email means because I just got a similar email. Thing is that I applied for a joint-degree program - MPP/MBA. The email indicated that I'm now being considered for MPA2 and HKS has a policy of considering each application for only one program at a time.
Applied to HKS MPP but emailed and asked to consider switching to MC/MPA???

Thanks. I applied for R2 at Tuck.
HBS interview invites for R2 went out again today. This was the second wave, from which I hoped to get an invite. But did not happen.
Next Tuesday I will know for sure whether I'm in at HBS or even whether I'm waitlisted.
Tuck is a great school, but will be quite an inconvenience should I pursue a joint-degree between HKS and some non-Harvard business school.
