I think they may have gotten an unprecedented amount of applications and are working their way through the workload. Every other school has pushed back deadlines, and considering HKS got a late start with apps in general that may have pushed back the timelines.

They said "late March", which likely means week of the 22nd. I wish they'd provide a little more transparency on what's going on behind the scenes Also, results have been published on Thursdays in the past years right?

hks2021 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Would it be worth sending an email to the admissions committee on the exact date, or has someone done this already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EscapingBrexit Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 A HKS magazine just arrived in the post, and that has not helped my anxiety and impatience ???. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mpa-aspiration Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 (edited) I also received a HKS Magazine today. Has anyone else received a magazine. Is this normal. I think it would be messed up if you start getting HKS Magazines but then get rejected. Thoughts?

Emrada Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I had my Bacon Fellowship interview today. I loved meeting the CPL faculty and staff, but will spend the next few weeks replaying all of my more awkward moments in my head as I simultaneously hope that I was able to share some coherent information about my background and hopes for the future. Anyone else with me on this for your various interviews? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve applied to mid career/mpa and despite the fact this thread is for MPP i can’t help but chime in and share my thoughts too — I’m also in the habit of looking for signs lol and I’m so happy we are all the same! so, what’s the magazine about? I didn’t get any! EscapingBrexit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also received the same acknowledgement email from PEPG fellowship. Just out of curiosity: was the invitation for PEPG fellowship sent to candidates who expressed their interest in education policy in their application or to everyone who applied to HKS?

Hi midcmpa 21, that is great. Just curious as to know if they had read the application when they sent the invitation for application? I had received the invitation email for the fellowship application in late January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midcmpa21 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 yeah even I got the email in late Jan however considering my program which is of one year I asked them if I was eligible and got a positive response so applied -- I believe they might have read the application by then!

EscapingBrexit Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 So I'm in Michigan, perhaps more will arrive elsewhere in the coming days? It's the HKS Magazine - articles on what students are doing, what alumni are doing, and so on. I'm not reading anything into it. But it is odd! I made the mistake of looking at Boston/Cambridge with my partner on street view, and I've totally fallen in love... midcmpa21 and MBAngineer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildchartermage Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Done with Zuckerman fellowship interview....it was hard for me to tell if I did well or not. Everyone was so poker-faced which sorta unnerved me because I'm used to communicating with expressive people. Oh well, time to move on and focus on other things.
