Any idea what HKS MPA acceptance rate is?

[Revolution]

I know MPP is around 20%. No idea on MPA2 though. Either way, the application has been submitted so totally out of my hands. Just curious though since i don't think i've seen the number.

You can look it up. Their profiles are usually accurate, in my experience.

According to the site, MPA accepts 61%, which obviously can't be right.

Why not? There are a number of grad programs at Ivies that have exceptionally high acceptance rates...particularly at the masters level. One of my alma maters is an Ivy, and it has some programs w/ surprisingly high admit #s.

ETA: You may very well be right. Maybe Peterson's is wrong on that one, but it's def. not unheard of to see numbers like that.

Peterson's is (usually) inaccurate. Most of their numbers appear to be outdated by several years, if not more. For example, I just looked up a similar program to HKS and the tuition rate was off by over $7,000.

Yeah no way peterson's is right. I'll be shocked if the MPA2 has an acceptance rate of higher than 25%. It's supposedly more selective than MPP.

I think the mid-career and mason programs though are pretty easy to get into. Maybe peterson's 61% rate is those programs.
