Spunkydudette Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Been following this thread for a while— thought it was about time to jump in. Anyone else see that Harvard is transferring classes online on March 23 and not permitting students on campus? ... Following this, is anyone else concerned about the potential cancellation of admitted student day or having to take online classes in the Fall? scalmanac 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did see that, and a number of other programs have already cancelled, I'm guessing they'll send through online materials. This is happening across the board: https://forum.thegradcafe.com/topic/123132-corona-viruss-effect-on-graduate-admissions/?tab=comments#comment-1058749093 I'm not optimistic about admitted student day, but most freaked out by the idea that this could be an online program for at least a portion of 2020-2021 Spunkydudette 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too, am freaked out by the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spnfiim Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 (edited) All we can hope is that COVID-19 gets contained by Aug-2020. If it doesn’t happen, attending HKS or any such institution won’t matter anyways, and virtual classes will be least of our concerns. Survival will be at stake. Virologists predict that if this virus ? is not contained in next few months, we could be staring at one of the greatest catastrophes ever..

galaxymega Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Hello everyone, Yet another anxious applicant here waiting for decision to come out, hopefully this week. I do have a question, though, from what I read in the blog posts, it seems like the admission decision will be different with financial aid announcement, so will it also come on the same day? or we should expect several days to wait for the financial aid announcement? Hope anyone here knows about this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stonecold07 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Spnfiim.. stay positive bro. I am hoping it will all be sorted by July and COVID will be eradicated from the planet. Amen. ? I certainly dont wanna see myself attending any virtual sessions. That would be crazy. So fingers crossed for everything. ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spnfiim Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Guys, I got to know that admission results of MPA-EPM (SIPA) have already been declared yesterday. It is confirmed and I have seen the email myself. So, in all likelihood, expect the MPA results today at its regular time. HKS may post its last blog today so that results can be announced tomorrow. Fingers crossed. WWS may also send informal acceptance emails. Adrenaline pumping high, we are finally there, almost!! All the best guys!! polapp20, Dwar and KIMAMS 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The email from SIPA, which I saw, was sent at around 5:30-6:00 pm New York Time. I think that is the regular time. All decisions most likely are announced towards evening. polapp20 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justaname Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 (edited) so i just looked through all the posts in the past year, and it appears that there had never been one single day with more than one post. which means, there will be no more post today. which also means decision date is not likely to be thursday, unless the adcomm just feel extra generous today and release another post later today.
