Did you guys get the email from Carol Finney saying MPA/ID is not on the list of JJ/World Bank scholarship partner programs this year? What a bummer. Does that mean it might be a preferred program instead? I also received the email. It is very disappointing to know that MPA/ID isn’t on the list of partners program. Can’t say about preferred program. Anyways, this year, WB is late by about four months in declaring the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKS has come up with a new blog (Post #14) yesterday in their 'application reading and decision process' to discuss about 'not admitted' category of applicants. So, the countdown has officially begun. It takes 8-9 days from this blog post to declare the final result. All the best everyone!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, as I have been saying, we should expect the results on Thursday, Mar-12 by 5-6 PM Cambridge, MA, USA time (GMT + 5:00 hours). Latest, it should come early on Friday 13th March. polapp20 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was admitted to Goldman's MPA program a couple of months ago but not sure if MPP decisions have been released yet. I'm excited about the possibility of attending Goldman as it really offers everything I am looking for... but waiting to see what happens with HKS before making a decision. Hopefully all will be revealed by the end of next week. Admissions purgatory is pretty terrible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I applied as well and haven't heard anything. I read in another thread on this forum that decisions for the MPP came out on March 12 last year, so we can probably expect decisions from Goldman around the same time as Princeton/Harvard (i.e. the end of next week).

spnfiim Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I had enquired HKS if results could be released by next week. They’ve responded as under- “Thank you for your message. All applications are currently being evaluated and admissions decisions will be released by the end of March.” End of March? Seriously?? ?? We can’t wait anymore.

BTW I shared my analysis with them in return email and this is the response I got from HKS team- “Very astute! You may know more than me. I was told that the decisions will be made by the end of the month, but it is possible that you will hear back by the end of next week. Keep an eye out, and good luck!“ KIMAMS and noodlesoup 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scalmanac Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Hey all, just a plug that there’s a thread for the Goldman school at Berkeley here (https://forum.thegradcafe.com/topic/123022-berkeley-goldman-gspp-2020/) and Ford Michigan here (https://forum.thegradcafe.com/topic/121155-ford-michigan-mpp-2020/) I’m personally not looking at threads for schools I didn’t apply to and it will probably be easier for you to meet and talk with other applicants on dedicated topics. Congrats on everyone’s success so far! WhoaThereWombat and prokem 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
