Committee is still at work as per what Ed mentioned when I mailed him on 4th March. I suspect, 3 results mentioned in screenshot above come from same person as the exclamation mark is placed similarly (gap between last word and !) in all the three remarks. So don't lose hope. Pray for the best. Best wishes to everyone. This is the best post I read in my whole life, Thanks so much, you don't know the the push you gave to me, keeping you in my prayers to get in!

index_match Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 Happy Monday y'all! Just a small "good luck" message to everyone here. I know I've been refreshing my email as well as this discussion board constantly. @Believer's message at the end of the week gave us a little boost of hope to keep going. I'm preparing myself psychologically for the worst but still hoping for some surprise good news. Hope you all are hanging in there! P.S. I only applied to one program so it's MIT or bust for me... I applied to the Energy & Environment track, which I believe is a popular one every year. What about you all? wiseseaweed, techgovpolicy and Believer 3
techgovpolicy Posted March 8, 2021 Author Posted March 8, 2021 @index_matchI applied for the socio-technical systems track! wiseseaweed, Believer and Kambo 2 1

My best wishes to you. I have applied for information technology stream with focus on data protection frameworks. My background is in electronics and communication engineering with post graduate diploma in cyber laws from India's top law school. I am sharing my TPP supplemental essay with the community members here for valuable comments and feedback. I'm not sure if supplemental essay holds same weight as personal statement during adcom evaluation. Other if interested may share their supplemental essay.

I too was someone who was just applying to TPP but realised that was a little too farfetched for me haha Then I applied to a couple more but that's it. I too applied to energy and environment track as I have a background in renewable energy (working on energy storage systems both as distributed networks and centralised systems) Fingers crossed, hope at least a few of us get in (this forum keeps me a bit sane so thanks everyone) techgovpolicy, Believer, wiseseaweed and 1 other 4
Rboyboy Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 Wishing everyone the very best! I have enjoyed our interactions and our keeping each other encouraged. Worst case scenario: we only have 7 days of wait time left. Thank you all for your encouragement. Believer, wiseseaweed and Kambo 1 2
techgovpolicy Posted March 10, 2021 Author Posted March 10, 2021 @RM97Nothing yet. I think they are holding true to their March 15th date. RM97 1
index_match Posted March 10, 2021 Posted March 10, 2021 1 hour ago, RM97 said: Any news, guys? Wrote to Ed just to check, received the same response as others on this thread. -- "The work of the TPP Admissions Committee is proceeding apace. That said, logistics have been slightly more complicated this cycle compared to last year and we are now anticipating admissions decisions to be released by the middle of this month. Thank you for your patience. Ed" -- I wonder if there were simply more applicants this year either due to COVID / career uncertainty, or lack of GRE requirement making it easier to apply. Or maybe "complicated logistics" means the admissions committee normally locks themselves in a conference room and makes all the decisions, but now they have to do this via Zoom and it's taking longer. Sending best of luck to everyone here still!
RM97 Posted March 10, 2021 Posted March 10, 2021 Personally, I think its more applications and competition, maybe even reduced intake due to funding uncertainties. The conference room vs zoom meetings doesn't hold much ground , acc to me! Kambo 1
techgovpolicy Posted March 11, 2021 Author Posted March 11, 2021 The end is in sight, everyone! wiseseaweed 1
RM97 Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 Still a couple more days, I think, unless they underpromise and overdeliver in terms of timelines, which wouldn't be too bad either xd wiseseaweed 1
index_match Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 I think anytime next week is still *technically* the "middle" of March.... so I won't hold my breath for now. Fingers crossed though. Given the latest correspondence on estimated decision times, I can't imagine it going beyond one more week if we don't get results today or tomorrow. Good luck all! wiseseaweed and Kambo 2
Theconfusedsoul Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 Looks like we're in the last mile now! As for anyone trying to understand why the delays are in place, I think a lot of colleges have delayed processes this year (I'm guessing due to covid). I'm still waiting to hear from CMU for their EPP course and from ETH Zurich despite having applied for both on Dec 15th. If anyone from this forum has also applied to these two unis, please let me know if you've heard back from them!
RM97 Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 I applied to eth zurich for their MSc in Management, Technology, Economics around Dec last yr as well, got an admit early this week.

Oh wow congrats! I applied to Science, tech and policy instead but haven't heard back yet Will you be taking that offer if not TPP?
RM97 Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 @Theconfusedsoulgood luck to you with ETH. Should come sooner than later. As for me, currently waiting out on a couple more results. That being said, ETH is very tempting and pretty high on my list :D Theconfusedsoul and Kambo 2
DrunkCat3000 Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 I'm still waiting to hear from CMU for their EPP too! Please let me know if you received anything. Hopefully, we will get our TPP and EPP results by next week Good luck! Kambo and Theconfusedsoul 2
Kambo Posted March 13, 2021 Posted March 13, 2021 Happy weekend! Just a random post to keep all of us motivated Keeping my finger crossed to all of you! techgovpolicy and DrunkCat3000 2
techgovpolicy Posted March 13, 2021 Author Posted March 13, 2021 What's everyone doing to stay sane? Hoping they will release decisions on Monday! Kambo 1
Hotdoglov Posted March 14, 2021 Posted March 14, 2021 Tbh doing nothing and constantly stressing. I've not been able to work for a couple weeks now
Theconfusedsoul Posted March 14, 2021 Posted March 14, 2021 Same here. Absolutely gutted but expected it. Good luck to those still waiting!
