Best of luck with ??I'm applying to the MC MPA, what about you ? 

 

For all those who didn't get notified, let's keep the spirits up, I'm sure plenty of opportunities are still on the table ?

Congrats on the interview invitations and good luck to you all!  I also applied for a CPL fellowship and haven't heard back. I didn't apply for Dubin but looking at previous year's CPL Dubin fellows, it's probably one of the largest cohorts with lots of positions to fill so good luck!

Had you raised any query, or was it generic? I have also applied to PEPG. Unfortunately, for me, I don't have access to my given email ID because I have received Fulbright fellowship and all my updates are routed through Fulbright/IIE office in New York. 

Hello! This is my first post here. I have also received Fulbright fellowship and I only get to know about things from the IIE contact person. It's a relief to find someone who is going through the same experience.

Hi! I have an anxiety disorder, so I needed to know, for sure, that I had not been selected. I'm attaching the email in case this helps everyone else out!

Well that looks like you, like most of us, haven't been selected to the CPL fellowships...

Hi guys! btw, anyone got the email informing you about your Financial Aid account ? My friend who applied last year said around this time of the year, the financial aid team will send us the email instructing us to set up our own Financial Aid account in which we can see your scholarship/loan/ etc infor later after the admission. I haven't got it yet and also out for the CPL too hehe

I also didn't get a CPL interview (I applied for the Bacon Fellowship). I applied for another fellowship through the Belfer Center, which I think I may be notified about separately and at a later date. Does anyone else know about how that works?

Congrats to those of you who got interviews! Remember your STAR method

Ditto and I didn’t get an interview invite either. Ah well. Let’s hope for good news coming in the next few weeks, good luck everyone!

Good that we’ve few invites in our group. The jinx is finally broken. Congratulations to the interviewees. I will still like to believe that our finalists are getting positive admission results.

So glad I found this forum. I really appreciate the solidarity during a very anxious time. Best of luck to each of you. (And I also have not heard back re: CPL.)

Hi! It seems that this is the only forum of HKS active so far, this year. And now, we have mixed group of MPP, MPA, MC/MPA and MPA/ID applicants. Will it be possible for you to rename the group to "Harvard Kennedy 2020" instead of "Harvard Kennedy MPP 2020"? Give it a thought.

Same here. We could make a telegram/whatsapp group for Public Policy Fulbright scholars - could be a huge help negotiating placement and so on?

I wish I could rename the thread but I don't think I can as I did not start it.  But you are right, there's a big mix of us here as this seems to be the only active forum for HKS this year, at least as far as I can tell.

For all those waiting it out

Could you rename it, please?

[GoldenWhale]

Hello! A little late to the forum, but was wondering if there were any other Rangel/Pickering/Payne Fellows that have applied to HKS this coming cycle? Always curious as to what kind of schools we all applied to, as well as where we will ultimately end up! Good luck to everyone!

Many thanks and wishing you the best of luck as well.

Ive also applied for the MC-MPA program (Masons fellow). 

 

[Oba2020]

Thank you all so much for the support! Fingers crossed! Do you have any ideas on where to find resources to prep for the interviews? Thanks a lot

Sounds like a great idea. Although I don't know how much negotiating I will get to do, but more information is always empowering. Let me know how can we do it.

I have applied for MC/MPA too ( mason fellow) . Any idea how many make it to the final list . I didn't get shortlisted for Dubin ,so kind of disappointed. Hoping to find some good news 

 

[Oba2020]

Hi everyone, just saw the new blog post about results, and it's even more confusing  so when do you think  we'll get the results (my guess is 11/03) ? Stress is killing me , I have the impression that my life is on pause now..tic toc
