goinfor3 Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 I thought I would take the leap and start a thread for the long wait ahead. I can't tell if the forum is quiet this year because people have moved on to other platforms, or if this is a slow application year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023MPAhopeful Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Hey there, ty for taking the leap! And yes, I have been wondering that exact same thing. Maybe it is indeed a slow year and our chances are higher? ? Anyway, two months feels like an excruciating wait especially since I have a few other EA acceptances already.

If it helps, I attended HKS' Fall Visit Day. There were only a handful of MPP applicants. Many of the perspective students were going for the other 3 majors offered by HKS. Keeping my fingers crossed for all of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nerwen Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Hey everyone! Nice to see this thread. I am an MPP applicant but must say, surprised to see the forum so quiet this year, even for the bigger schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023MPAhopeful Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 I'm on the lower end of work experience required to apply (8.5ish) and naturally during this unbearable wait have been been reading through profiles of MC/MPA grads on linkedin etc. Out of curiosity, where do you all (MC/MPA applicants specifically but also anyone can answer!) sit in terms of years of experience?

TooManyEssays Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 @2023MPAhopeful The average cohort age is 13 years of exp I believe. Most applicants got 10 years - 20 years under their belt. I know two Alumni - one with 7 years of exp and the other with 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooManyEssays Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 I was wondering how many different scholarships did everyone apply for financial aid? I just applied to a couple. After reviweing the past threads, I kind of feel I should have applied to more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitsanm1 Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Hey! Is anyone applying to the PEPG fellowship? Or has any idea how much tuition the fellowship covers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitsanm1 Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Hey! Is anyone applying to the PEPG fellowship? Or has any idea how much tuition the fellowship covers? I applied for four other scholarships other than PEPG, at least three of which didn't feel like too much of a stretch in terms of my professional experience and academic interests. I have a background in education policy so PEPG would be perfect but seems to cover only partial tuition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
