senatorsmith85 Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 So I think you basically have to decide if you're going to the admit day (I think I read it's around 4/1) before you know if you're getting aid. And some of us (like me) aren't going to HKS w/o some $$$$.
jjoeteller Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 So... should I histerically check my e-mail every 5 minutes, or do you recommend waiting until Thursday for that kind of drama and anxiety to take over? I applied to MPP, btw.
wantgrad Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 hmm I expect they'll announce the decision date on the blog before they actually roll out decisions, so I would reign in the hysteria as much as possible (this is easier said than done...I don't remember the last time I've had my browser open without gmail being one of the tabs)
hudwa Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 hmm I expect they'll announce the decision date on the blog before they actually roll out decisions, so I would reign in the hysteria as much as possible (this is easier said than done...I don't remember the last time I've had my browser open without gmail being one of the tabs) I think you're right. Matt Clemons, their Admissions Director, used to be the Admissions Director at SIPA, and he's a blog and RSS fiend. It sounds perfectly reasonable that he'll say something on the blog before decisions are announced.
IdnujnanCihtrak Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 Cool this is....Great to read the post...Nervous, anxious, fear - dont know what but I have been a frequent follower of these forums. Finally logged in to post my own... Being considered for MPA2 at HKS...any idea what the process for the Fellowships is...and Is MPA2 generally the last of the results to be announced... Btw the Blog might not tell you what you want to hear...but the way I look at it - It atleast lets you know that results are not out yet !!! Gives me hope atleast
IdnujnanCihtrak Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 Also...One more question - does having a Masters degree already become a deterrent?
greendiplomat Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 Also...One more question - does having a Masters degree already become a deterrent? No, as long as you express what the additional master's will provide above and beyond what your previous one did. If so, it should help you, if anything.
IdnujnanCihtrak Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 Thank you Green Diplomat - any idea on the fellowships - 1. what kind of profile makes it through 2. what is the procedure 3. how is this split between courses 4. does experience deter u from being considered for these Too late to ask - but any help on these will provide some direction as we wait with fingers crossed!!
RainbowInTheDark Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 Kennedy just admitted me to the MPP! Looks like they're coming out. I'm in utter disbelief!!
wantgrad Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 Me too!!! exciting stuff. Financial decisions by the end of the day March 30th.
jjoeteller Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 so should we assume that those of us who haven't got an e-mail are out?
hudwa Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) Big congratulations to you guys! I didn't get in, but I'm still hopeful for SAIS and SIPA! Edited March 13, 2012 by hudwa
rose1 Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 so should we assume that those of us who haven't got an e-mail are out? Oh my goodness, no! Take a deep breath! People JUST started receiving e-mails!
JoshRudes Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 I'm in for MPP. Still in shock... Like the lady in that admissions blog posting, I'll never think of myself as "Harvard material" ... Congrats to everyone else who's in and best of luck to all!
carlisle Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 waitlisted at HKS! ahh well congrats to everyone who got in!
renmen Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 Congrats to those who got in! The waiting is even tougher now. I know MC/MPA will be most likely last but I wonder how much longer. Tomorrow? Next week? I can't take it!!!!
WmHooper Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 Got into the MPP program while sitting on the beach soaking up the sun. Rejected by WWS but still a great day.
wantgrad Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 Congrats all!! Anyone have some insight on the kind of aid they typically offer? I applied to two of their fellowships (the only ones I was eligible for), but I have no idea how competitive these are. Many years ago a friend who was at WWS told me that HKS and WWS are very good with helping out. Anyone have some details? And will they really not say anything till the 30th?!
renmen Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 So thus far MPP and MPA-ID has heard. Is this correct? Still left is MPA2, MC/MPA and MC/MPA Mason.
