Harvard Kennedy HKS MC/MPA 2024 Admissions

[MCMPA23]

Hello Everyone,

 

Anyone here applied for the HKS MC/MPA this year. What are your thoughts on the program and admissions process.

Is there a discord group this year

Yep, I sent my app back in November. I don't know about the Discord group, though.

I applied to the MC-MPA program this year. I noticed they changed some of the application questions a little bit this year from previous years. I'm not sure of a discord. I'm not sure how well the MC-MPA program is regarded in comparison to other mid-career programs (like Princeton's MPP program for example). But all in all, from what I've heard generally, HKS is often viewed as one of the more legitimate policy programs and a powerhouse within U.S. domestic policy. Although, I don't think the MC-MPA program is known for quantitative rigor. 

Also, I created a broader 2024 application thread a few minutes ago here: https://forum.thegradcafe.com/topic/166598-2024-fall-public-affairs-mpp-mpa-international-affairs-etc-results/

Anyone having any idea when we can get outcome for MC MPA?

Did anyone get in without submitting the GREs ? I know they’ve been optional for a couple years now, how quant heavy was your background?
