Harvard Kennedy School of Govt - MPP

[laureate]

Hi guys,

I have a question for those who have applied to HKS- MPP.

In my Sparks page, it is written that:

"Thank you for applying to the MPP program at Harvard Kennedy School. We have processed your application, and your file is now complete. Please note that if admitted to Harvard Kennedy School, you will be required to submit official transcript(s). An official transcript is one that is sent directly to HKS from the issuing institution. "

What does "processed" mean? Does it mean that the admission committee is done with my application or do they still have way to go?

Please help me by telling your application status or any information you have...

I am so excited and I can not help myself thinking about the result all the time.

Thank you.

Yeah, mine says the same thing. "Processed" just means that they have verified that they have received all of your documents (essays, recommendations, etc). I wouldn't expect a decision for another 4 weeks or so. I'm guessing March 18 or thereabouts, based on previous years. On the plus side, I bet we'll start hearing from other MPP schools (GSPP, Ford, WWS etc) a little bit earlier.

I can relate to the feeling though--it's nerve-racking! I need to find a good month-long hobby to take my mind off of this!

Thank you so much for this piece of information. I feel relieved at least a little bit. Having someone feeling the same way is quite supportive as well. Thanks, again.

Hopefully, we both get in.

Fingers crossed.
