Based on past experience, they are likely to drop an email in Feb last week for another round of interviews. I know waiting for the interview can be nerve wracking but I would recommend not worrying to much about it. All the best with your application Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikio Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I initially applied for the MPP for 2019 intake and long story short I'm now an applicant for MPA 2019 intake. Is there a scholarship for MPA similar to that in MPP, and can interviews for MPA be over Skype, much like in the MPP? I tried contacting the school and they seem to be busy, so maybe someone here knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPP2019applicant Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Hi all, Just finished my interview so thought Id share the experience for any of you who are going through the panic. The interview was exactly thirty minutes. the case study given was easy to decipher. It was on Coca plantations and it ended with three questions. The case study itself was 2 pages long and the paragraphs were numbered. The questions in the end were very easy. One was a small mathematical question based on the case itself. It was pretty simple and basic. Please dont stress about it at all.. The questions were given in the case itself and just required you to explain multiple points of view, if you can. Nothing tricky about the case. Over all an easy process. read the paragraph and enjoy it. Take time to read the paragraph again. Also read parts that are irrelevant to the questions stated below. It will help with bringing a better perspective to your answers overall. Good luck. sspxs and Strider1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Align whatever you say about yourselves with what you have written in your essays. Regarding case studies, I don't think you need to worry too much. It was pretty straight forward. 30 mins are enough for you to crack it. Read it once, then read it again. Go through each question one by one. Write the answers down in the way you'd want to tell them to the interviewer, if that helps you. Most importantly, clear your mind. I didn't read anything on my interview day. Relax, the interviewers are quite sweet. All the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
