IKB Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Just got waitlisted Hattaba, I was waitlisted at Princeton, so I know how frustrating that uncertainty can be. If it makes you feel any better, depending on financial aid, I'm most likely going to turn down my HKS spot. I received an offer from another school that's almost impossible to turn down. I know I'm only one person, but there have to be many more like me out there... Head up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

compost&recycle Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Just got my rejection, literally one minute after I received a 40K scholarship for Tufts so that was a nice consolation. Good luck everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesignificantnexus Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 long time lurker, just got waitlisted too... I responded to the email accepting my position on the waitlist, but I did not indicate my intention to accept the offer if am admitted (which I probably would). I've also been doing a lot of work relevant to what I want to study and will have a publication in the next few months. However, the email says "Supplemental materials (publications, awards, meetings with members of the Admissions staff, and so on) are not included in the Admissions Committee’s review of wait-listed applicants. The Committee reviews wait-listed files as they were submitted at the time of application in December." Should I follow up with anything else, or is it better not to bother them and just keep my fingers (and toes) crossed that the adcom looks favorably enough on my application to eventually admit me? Any advice from other waitlisters?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abogs78 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I think they are probably getting back to MPP folks at the moment. Good luck with your application.... Are all these MPP admissions? Any MPA2 already received notification?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abogs78 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 It appears you only applied to HKS or did you apply to other schools? I hope you got good news. Good luck! Depends on which law school. If you've got the credentials to get in to HYS (and I'm pretty sure you go to S), then I'd say you're probably as close to a shoo-in as possible at Kennedy. If you're looking at CCN, then probably.
