fesenjoon Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Great news to wake up to! I've got accepted into the MC/MPA program with CPL fellowship as well.

graduate2020 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Hi all, did anyone from here get into HKS MPP program with any scholarship? Just curious to know! I got in but no funding. For those who are in w/o funding, are you considering HKS still? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have an offer of 37k from Duke so I am not too sure right now about where I will be going. If anyone has any insights that would be super helpful!

Haber Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Congratulations to all the accepted members, It feels even better to see few getting CPL and other fellowships. I have also got MC/MPA acceptance but no aid, so will have to decide between HKS and SIPA. All the friends who didn't get in, many seem to have other great acceptances. I think many will leave the offers at their dream school for financial considerations thus acceptances hardly matter. what matters is what we make out of opportunities as someone rightly said before. All the best guys, it has been a nice experience at gradcafe and especially this thread. let's try to make best of these opportunities and even if not, people would be doing wonders otherwise wherever they are. stay safe and stay healthy friends.

Oba2020 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Now that I'm starting to digest the news, congratulations to all accepted and really looking forward to meeting you in person (I hope), in the fall. For all those who did not get it, take the time to mourn a little bit, because this has been such an intense and stressful process but I'm more than certain that you will be achieving great things in your careers and lives. And thank you all for being part of this community, it made a real difference for me! please feel free to reach out if you want to chat about what comes next, and again hope to see you all soon. In the meantime stay safe and wash your hands. noodlesoup and indianIRguy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noodlesoup Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) I was admitted to the MPA/ID with a full tuition scholarship! It's taken a night's sleep (ok who am I kidding, a few minutes of sleep) and then some for this to sink in and feel real?? This group has been everything, especially this past week ❤️ You've all been amazingly passionate, witty, good humored and kind...and that's how I know each of you will do great regardless of where your degree is from. Nurse your wounds, but bounce back quick. I was rejected from a top program last week, so you never know what's waiting around the corner for you. I'll be posting my stats on the results page and details on the threads. Anyone reading this in future years pls hit me up with any questions-- I just got really lucky but I'll teach you what I learned from this grueling process anyway Edited March 20, 2020 by noodlesoup Oba2020, Spunkydudette and Stonecold07 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenjenlx Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Congrats to everyone who got admitted! I got waitlisted, which is actually a pleasant surprise since I was expecting straight rejection.

mpp2020- Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 The deadline for the MPP is also April 30th. Wow I am still in shock! Congrats to everyone admitted!! I am over the moon. Spunkydudette and indianIRguy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FraiserFanNYC Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I also got in to HKS for the MPP program! But it looks like I got no aid. So now I am deciding between Columbia SIPA (which gave me $20K a year in aid for a total of $40K) and HKS (which gave me no aid). The loan difference wold be about $26K according to my calculations. I am trying to see if that extra $26K in loan burden is worth the Harvard name. Can someone offer their opinion on this? Thanks. ch442 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am trying to see if that extra $26K in loan burden is worth the Harvard name. Can someone offer their opinion on this? Thanks. I'm in a very similar boat. I got into a few other schools (SIPA, Berkeley Goldman, Yale School of Forestry) with moderate aid ($14-30k per year) and HKS with no aid. I'm hoping to talk to some alums/students from each school who also work in environmental policy to see if they have opinions, but I'm currently at a loss myself! I'd also appreciate any other takes from you all. When does the U.S. government post the interest rate for federal loans for the 2020-21 school year?
