soaps Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) I think, until we get another blog post announcing decisions, everyone should ignore the results database if you want to avoid a mini panic attack. Edit: I stand corrected. Now I'm terrified. Edited March 13, 2013 by soapwater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biscuits Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Looks like they will not be making a move on the waitlist until May, which means no crimson clothing for me. Toodles, Harvard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lacanadiense Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Out. Not surprised, but I am a little bitter about having to write all those damn fellowship essays! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lacanadiense Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Also, does anyone know of situations in which people got dinged by HKS, but admitted to WWS? I guess I should just give up on that application, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
campussartorialist Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Out... disappointed but thanking the heavens for other options. lacanadiense 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPPgal Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Rejected, nice email though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soaps Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Rejected. Kind of shocked I wasn't even waitlisted, but I had a terrible GRE quant score and no quant background. Don't let anyone tell you HKS isn't competitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gatsby8724 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I'm out as well. Bummed to get a rejection, but the more I thought about it, the more I felt like the Kennedy School wasn't the program for me. Congratulations to all the admits! Three schools to go -- hoping to get some better news tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodtogo Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I just logged in to see what was going on, and it is really happening. Are all of you that heard MPP candidates? I suppose they will do as in the past and release by program......and the mid-careers are last; hopefully will hear by COB Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUSAJAG Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Yeah I've heard nothing. So I think this is just the MPPs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adollarninetynine Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I know some of you are disappointed but if you really want HKS I would recommend that you reapply because it really does help to show them you like them and are committed. I was rejected and I reapplied and was accepted as well. School will always be there so don't feel like you have to start school again this year. And contrary to all my bashing of HKS, that sub 20% acceptance rate is real and the question is not "Why was I rejected" but "Why was I accepted".

gatsby8724 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Also, does anyone know of situations in which people got dinged by HKS, but admitted to WWS? I guess I should just give up on that application, too. Definitely not - every program is different! Also, when evaluating an applicant's candidacy, I understand the WWS places less weight on GRE scores than HKS. Don't give up hope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterBLD Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I‘m out. What a bad day. Waitlisted by GPPI and rejected by HKS. Though not surprised but still feel sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
