MPP -Blavatnik School of Government 2022-23

Greetings! 

Only 10 days have elapsed and anxiety of waiting for decision is at its peak....So, if anyone is in the same boat, let us use this thread to know application status and other queries related to funding sources .....

I wish I were anxious over a decision. Instead, I have to be anxious over an additional LOR I was asked to submit from my undergrad (I had incorrectly assumed a postgrad LOR would be superior, and would suffice)

They have clearly written on their website that letter of recommendation from supervisor is a must provided that candidate has a postgraduate. Asking for reference letter from undergrad is odd but maybe it means that they do not want to reject you and have asked for the letter .... big maybe though!!!

As much as I would like to believe it is a positive sign, I do think this was some standard check done by an admissions officer. I got the notification to submit another letter in mid-January, don't think there was enough time for anyone to give more than a cursory look at my application.

Anyway - I submitted the second letter a few days ago. They confirmed that all results would come out before 22nd March. So we have a date..

Your explanation is also plausible. Best of Luck with your application. 

I went through previous year's (or probably 2020) thread, decision is likely to be announced around Mid march.... like acceptances were received around 13th to 14th and rejections followed round 17th.

Any DPhil applicants? I can't find anybody else who has applied, even though they get something like 200 applications/year!

Seems like a few people are getting interview calls for MPP BSG. I have not heard back on anything as of now. 

Either the applicants like me are in or out. (decision should have been made by now)>

When did you receive the email? 

[sanctaphrax]

Acceptances went out last night around 10PM GMT

 

I haven't heard back - so I sense what this means? 

[Everett]

My email came about 5pm Boston time, so 10 PM London time.

I haven't received any email and seeing past trends, acceptances are followed by rejections.
