Like few people in the group, i had my share of technical glitch during the interview. So the interview lasted only for 15min. However, the interview went well. Anyways the results shall decide. Hope the prime love is in my reach. Oh Great! I think you had interview on 03rd of March. I had the same case study, same glitch issue. Same duration for interview lasting. The interview was good. Did you stumble somewhere? Yes, hoping too that the prime love is in my reach with the Command of Almighty.

Thanks for your nice comments. When you have received an admit for MIA why occupying a seat in MPP and escalating competition?

Dear Amir, I received the MIA admit a couple of days back. It is a class of just 30 so i don't know how the process goes about. And, my first choice was MPP but I have gotten the MIA admit earlier and LKY wants me to accept or decline before March 30th. Which is prior to the expected date of MPP result. So, my situation ain't so cozy.

I just have the feeling that they might do something about that. Were you interviewed for the two programs? If yes, when pls? Will you also like to share your starts pls? Congratulations once again!

I spoke to them. They said they can consider extension for a few days into April. But, didn't specify a date which makes it a little ambiguous and uncertain. When I inquired they told me that MIA's decisions are sent out as batches (probably all of 'em) and runs till July based on rejections ad acceptance. So, i don't believe they can extend my time indefinitely. I was interviewed just once. March 2nd. And, interview was just OK. I don't even know how it went. They asked I replied and whoompff it was over. All of us are on the same boat of uncertainty with regards to our interview perf. No info about scholarship. I don't know if a mediocre person like me can expect any info on this.

Rita Hayworth Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 Oh. My interview was on Rice subsidies. I read a lot of you writing about your interviews on the same topic. My profile is an Engineering degree (medalist sorry for the flaunt) from among the good colleges of the country. A profession in music runs parallel. A year working for some research. A lot of my work be it in music or otherwise have been for a lot of unorthodox audiences/recipients as well. So, that sums up my orientation towards policy.

At least your case is better than ours that are still with no any offer, be it MIA, MPP or MPA. Fingers still crossed but tension is rising. Wish you the best Rita.

Clumsyperfectionist Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 Hi, I've been a long time lurker on GradCafe. Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences here! It's nice to know that so many people are going through the same problems (and victories!) I had applied to a bunch of MPP programs and LKY is the only one I'm waiting to hear back from. Has anyone noticed a change in their admission portal? Mine now says Semester 1, MPP (with nothing next to it) kaleembogor 1
