stresschicken Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 My fiance is on a waitlist and we've found it helps to know when accepted applicants in his program declined their offers. If you're declining, please post which programs and when. Here are my planned declines (early next week): Goldman School (MPP) Ford School (MPP) Harris School (MPP) Georgetown (MPP) Wagner School (MPA) Sincerely wish interested waitlisters the best of luck.

gazelle Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 It may prove useful to state which program he is waiting for, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stresschicken Posted March 21, 2010 Author Share Posted March 21, 2010 He's in philosophy, and they have their own online resources for this. This thread is for the benefit of people who are waitlisted for programs in government affairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jndaven Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 I don't know how useful this will be for MPP and IR degrees, though it would make me feel a lot better. Don't schools calculate the average number of students that will decline offers, and factor this into their admissions numbers? You'd need dozens of rejected offers to screw up their yield and make it off a waitlist. Plus, you have to be the BEST person on the waitlist. I'd love to get off the HKS waitlist, but I'm not putting any hope there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
