hudwa Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 (edited) The first results began rolling in around 01:00, so I'm willing to stay up till 01:30 tonight to see if people begin hearing back from SIPA. At that point, I'm going to bed, having set a very loud and very long notification sound for my phone should I get the notification email while asleep. Anybody else burning the midnight oil in anticipation of a repeat of last night? Probably you too, Coloradical? Edited March 15, 2012 by hudwa
Coloradical Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 sadly yes. my patience is out of practice after 3 notifications yesterday hudwa 1
orangesplease Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 What was the earliest hour people started hearing today? I feel like it was before 8am ET... and yeah, it is getting that desperate I checked their website around 11pm last night and my decision was already there. Received their email at 5am PST (8am EST) this morning though. I think they programmed the system to release it at midnight EST since it said "your decisions will be available beginning 3/14/12" or something. With that said, they probably only did that for the first batch of decisions. My friend didn't have a decision last night nor did she have an email this morning. However, she received an email from them at 1pm PST (4pm EST). My letter is dated for 2/22/12 while hers was 3/13/12
hudwa Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 No word yet from SIPA. I'm giving it till 01:30 and calling it.
eigenvector Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 an education at SIPA or HKS is not even close to the quality and opportunities available at the respective business schools and law schools. you are kidding yourself if you think so. And what, may I ask, is the objective parameter for comparison of quality and opportunities?
adollarninetynine Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 do you seriously need me to explain why the harvard kennedy school is not on par with harvard law school or harvard business school? lol... Clay Made and Azrou 2
Azrou Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 do you seriously need me to explain why the harvard kennedy school is not on par with harvard law school or harvard business school? lol... Do you seriously need me to explain why an apple is not the same thing as an orange? You realize that these are all different schools in different fields, right? Trying to compare them to anything other than their peer institutions is a waste of time.
eigenvector Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 (edited) do you seriously need me to explain why the harvard kennedy school is not on par with harvard law school or harvard business school? lol... Quality and opportunity are conditional to individual aspirations. Were your argument to hold true, every educated soul on earth would've been banging the doors of business / law / medicine schools. What do you think would happen if everyone were to become lawyers of bankers? Edited March 15, 2012 by eigenvector
Waiting13 Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 Did everyone who was rejected receive this message? Thats how it seems based on the results survey... "While your achievements to date are impressive, most successful applicants possess considerable professional experience. Each year, the Committee recommends that a small number of candidates in your position consider reapplying. There is no guarantee of future admission, due to the competitive nature of the admission process, but the Committee believes you will be a stronger candidate after gaining additional professional experience"
msal Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 was it March 14th the last day for decisions, or is it my mistake? where the heck is my decision!

Waiting13 Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 You applied directly out of college? No, one year out with international work experience starting immediately following undergrad graduation.
mximedc Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 was it March 14th the last day for decisions, or is it my mistake? where the heck is my decision! Check out their blog: We will begin rolling out decisions today; however, don’t be discouraged if you haven’t heard from us yet. It can take a few days from when a decision is made to when it is released to the system. We don’t publish all our decisions in a single day, so if yours doesn’t happen to be one of the first to be finalized, hang in there. Waiting isn’t easy but sometimes “it’s” worth the wait.
msal Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 you are right, there is no need to get mad. but sometimes it's worth the freaking out.
mximedc Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 you are right, there is no need to get mad. but sometimes it's worth the freaking out. Don't know if it's worth, but believe me, I get those too!!!! So hang in there!
HDPFDan Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 Still nothing for me either. Man that Khaled Hosseini quote they have up on the blog is the TROOF!
