JJJ2 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Hi friends, do you guys think it will be "easier" to apply for HKS with another Harvard graduate degree? I'm planning to apply to HKS next year and currently about to attend Harvard for a different program. Thanks a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sup5505 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Received the HKS magazine yesterday; MPP applicant based in NYC, did not apply for financial aid/fellowships. Related to what someone had said on this thread earlier, I'm fully confident this has nothing to do with admissions chances - HKS wouldn't be so silly. Either all applicants (or those in the US & Canada) will receive it, or those who had somehow checked some box in the application or expressed some form of interest in staying subscribed received it.

Did not receive the email. Is this fellowship even applicable to the 1 year MC/MPA program? The fellowship mentions it is for 2 year programs.

Completely agree - I'm in Toronto, Canada, my last name starts with M, and I received a magazine earlier this week. I didn't for a moment think it meant I was accepted, and I figure I must've opted in (or forgotten to opt out) to receive their magazine. I'm only going to look through it if I'm accepted though - I don't want to get my hopes up and then get a rejection email next week. lesliserables 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too - I've applied to MC MPA, as well, but Mason program but have not heard back about a single fellowship. My area is education too. Do you think they have seperate fellowships marked out for different programs. What other programs have you applied to and got in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nkrish21 Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Also did any Mason applicants get any fellowship interviews? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'have applied also to Columbia SIPA, NYU Wagner. They already sent me an admission offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William_1982 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Since they’ve repeatedly said “late March” I think the 25th is far more likely than the 18th. Argentina, mpp_app2021, Horizon94 and 3 others 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on how this year's deadlines have corresponded to previous years so far, we're most likely looking at the 25th sup5505 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago said late November and I got my result on 19 th of the month. late term stand for last two weeks of the month generally . Of course all others have released their decisions and HKS need to release it sooner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midcmpa21 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 came across the 100 days theory too here — if we take that into consideration then it’s the 18th! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nkrish21 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I also noticed something - see this blog post https://hksadmissionblog.tumblr.com/post/645288606398808064/reflecting-on-womens-history-month all sessions are scheduled for Thursday, except this Thursday the 18th, and the sessions is instead on 19th my hunch too is that 18th I the D-day!
