anxiouslywaiting Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 by the way any admits who will potentially turn down their offers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escincau Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Ok so the wait wasn't very long: SAIS it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OD09 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I got in as well! Email at 3:10 PM Pacific Time. Omg, this was such a shock after getting the boot from both SIPA and Duke. We have to wait two more weeks for financial aid notice. Still, I am on cloud nine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackbriar Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 So, has anyone been accepted within the last couple minutes or after 7:00 EST, or were all those accepted around 6:10 EST? Acceptances, waitlists, now rejections... or does Harvard notify in waves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poodles123 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 so confused. got rejected with a 740 V, 730 Q, a 3.9 GPA, and 3 years of work experience. what the heck do they make admissions decision based on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewaitinggame09 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I got rejected. So I guess it is Syracuse Maxwell School here I come. I guess I got a clear sign from God. Congrats to everyone with their Graduate School plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hope4ful Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Congrats to all who got in! I didn't hear either, so the wait continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zourah Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 IN! This more than makes up for the sorrow of the MSFS waitlist. And for those asking, the email came at 6:10 EST - just didn't make it to posting here right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samurai Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I also got rejected... Reapply is disadvantage for HKS?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornell07 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Sure, have a blast, here is the honest-to-god HKS rejection letter sent at 6:32 PM Dear Cornell07: Our Admissions Committee has completed its review of applications to the Master in Public Policy at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government. We regret that we are unable to offer you admission. The high caliber of this year's applicant pool made the Admissions Committee's task an extremely difficult one and we were unable to accommodate many fine candidates. Although we cannot offer you a place in next year's class, we appreciate your interest in Harvard Kennedy School and your commitment to public service. We wish you well in your chosen career. Sincerely, Alexandra Martinez Assistant Dean, Director of Admissions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splic Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Rejected. Congrats to everyone who made it! One small (very small) part of me is a little (very little) glad that at least this is all over now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
energie Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Rejected but I know HKS is my reach. Focusing on IR, I'm happy going to SAIS instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hope4ful Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Rejected as well. Rejections always sting a bit, but I'm more than happy to now accept the 20K fellowship from SIPA. Congratulations again to all of those who got in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

younglions Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Accepted. In response to the poster who asked if any of us are likely to turn down our offers, I might. Harvard would have to throw a lot of money my way to compete with WWS or Chicago. I'm guessing that won't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skz Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Rejected Ah well, didn't expect to get in anyway. Congrats to all who did! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maidinindya Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 The e-mail said financial aid decisions will be available on April 3rd-- does this also refer to the non-need based fellowships that all admitted students are automatically considered for as well?

sgw Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Waitlisted, email came around 8:20. Text of letter, for anyone who cares: The Admissions Committee has completed its selection of candidates for admission to the Master in Public Policy Program at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government for September 2009. The high caliber of this year's applicants made the Committee's task an extremely difficult one. The competition was far greater than usual, and many fine candidates were not admitted. In the process, we identified a number of applicants whom we would have admitted had there been more available places in the class, and have established a waiting list for those individuals. We are pleased to inform you that you are among the candidates on that list. We are unable to offer you admission at this time, but a place may become available for you later this spring or in early summer. We will have a better idea of your prospects for admission after May 1st, when admitted candidates will have responded to our offer. We will notify you of any action on your application as soon as it is taken. Please see the end of this message for more information about our waiting list. While we hope you can wait, we do not recommend that you turn down offers to other graduate programs or employment or travel opportunities that are attractive to you. Please return the response form that we are mailing to you by April 24, 2009. We would be very pleased if you would agree to accept a place on our waiting list so that we can extend an offer of admission to you if space becomes available.

fighter_2008 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 dagger i agree that younglions is a virtual shoo-in, and I wld've put him on my top five too, but i had to give myself a fighting chance right? sorry i'm just wallowing in self-pity and consolation here... looks like i'm 1.5 of 5 in my predictions: 1)dagger - regrets 2)mcneelified - nothing heard 3)sisepuede - congrats 4)cornell07 - regrets 5)fighter_2008 (me!) - W/L and of course younglions is in, so that makes 2.5 of 6.
