amaka26 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Hey folks! Couldn't find a thread for 2019 waitlisted candidates for HKS so wanted to start one. Anyone from MPA/ID, MPP, MPA, MC hear back yet? Any ideas on when we'd get the first update given April 16th was the date to reply to decisions.

Anonymous_2019 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Hello, I am on the MC/MPA waitlist. I have not heard anything back yet. In my decision, there was no specific date for a reply of the Admissions’ Committee but rather a range from end-April to May (without specifying when in May). The decision also said that the Admissions’ Committee would have a better idea of my chances for admission sometime in end-March beginning-April. Which program are you in and what feedback have you received to-date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amaka26 Posted April 22, 2019 Author Share Posted April 22, 2019 Good luck! I'm on the waitlist for the MPA/ID. I haven't heard anything back yet either so was wondering if others did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leafsixnorth Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 MPP applicant here - just got an email today from Admissions saying “at this time we are not in a position to make admission offers to candidates on our waiting list”. Anyone else get something similar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anonymous_2019 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Yes, I received the same. The message adds that if I wish to stay on the waitlist I have to send my agreement to do so up to May 9th. The next update would be around mid-to-end May. The message also noted that for MC/MPAs there is a mandatory session starting mid-July so I would also implicitly confirm that I could attend. On this point it’s up to HKS to get my visa in order. If they can organize my visa in one month, I will be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yolo2020 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 MC/MPA 2019-20 Applicant. Still waitlisted "Greetings from the Harvard Kennedy School Admissions Office. You are receiving this email because you previously accepted a place on the Harvard Kennedy School waiting list. The Admissions Committee reviews projected enrollment information on a consistent basis and at this time we are not in a position to make admission offers to candidates on our waiting list. You may choose to remain on our waiting list, but first I want to share information for you to take into consideration." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amaka26 Posted April 26, 2019 Author Share Posted April 26, 2019 MPA/ID candidate here. Got a flat out rejection yesterday. Good luck to those still waiting and congrats to anyone who made it off the list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKS Anon19 Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Any news from anyone? I got another email April 26 that they basically extended my waitlist and that I won't qualify for any aid (no prob) and it's free-game until August 26 - then it's a hard denial. Anyone else do the MPA 2 yr/ MBA concurrent-degree track? Any MPA-specifically folks get any denials or news or any acceptances? I feel like HBS/Wharton have posts everyday about waitlists, yet HKS seems rather quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anonymous_2019 Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 From my side, nothing further to the email of 25 April (mentioned above). Expected update remains mid-to-end May (so basically this week). I’ll let you know once I receive feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKS Anon19 Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Perfect, I will do the same after I hear back. Wish you luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anonymous_2019 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I received an update: no additional offers of admission will be possible this year so I am out too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trust1920 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 @Anonymous_2019 What do you mean by, "you are out too"? Which program did you apply to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trust1920 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 @HKS Anon19 Have you heard anything from HKS? I hope good news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anonymous_2019 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) I applied to the MC/MPA, I was waitlisted, and I received an email saying that I will not be offered admission so - further to all those rejected from the specific program this year - I too “am out”. The way I read the email from Admissions I understood that no additional offers (to those already made) will be extended so I would be surprised if anyone else who has applied to the MC/MPA received different feedback.

2020_1310 Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Anyone else still waiting? There’s people still on the waitlist so wondering if that means there’s a chance someone can still get in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
