Here's how they rank in different public affairs categories for 2019. Maybe you were looking at the public policy analysis category, in which case you are correct: they are not ranked in 2019. # 3 overall public affairs # 5 environmental policy / management # 1 health policy and management # 2 international global policy and admin # 5 public management and leadership # 2 social policy # 6 urban policy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, should've clarified! I realized right after posting that this was the case. Were they ranked in policy analysis in prior years? If so, what do you think prompted the change?

So if those in this forum are correct that would leave two more days for the admitted students & name reading posts and then decisions on Friday.. I hope it is Friday and not next week! ?? It should be this week tho, as next week there is the spring break... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nellolikejello Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I feel like it would be pretty apt of HKS to release admit decisions on π day. #justsayin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmpa Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 If my understanding is right, all the blog posts, except the blog post notifying results, get posted at 9 AM CET. The blog notifying admission results usually gets posted midday after the emails have been sent by HKS. There is no 9 AM blog post today!! Guess that means we should be expecting the results shortly?

mcmpa Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Maybe the reading post (which is pending) also comes out only midday once they have started the decision confirmation process. So it could just be that post later today and results tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPPNYC Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Would he skip the name reading post? I hate to be the bringer of bad news, but doesn't it just seem more likely that they'll post results next week now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD1458 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Yeah, pretty sure we are right about it being tomorrow - there was a name reading post in 2016 as well. Best of luck to everyone!! My nerves are driving me insane! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPPNYC Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 So, the written portion above the "Admissions" and "Financial Aid" buttons on the Admissions portal just disappeared...anyone else or just personal glitch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The text above mine also just disappeared. This has happened in previous years and apparently is no indication of anything.
