Dear ardent_phd

thank you for your wishes ?. I am not on Facebook for now. I will surely update here in case of any developments.

Hi the whimsical

How was your interview session? 

[The whimsical]

Hi ardent_phd, 
                    My interview started around late  10 mins. And interviewers were in bit of hurry.  they  expected quick answers from me. So I am wondering about the evaluation aspect. Case study was something new for me about soft drink tax ( in spite of  working in development sector) but I guess I managed fine.  Hopeful  of good outcome. And all the best for your application. ?

P.S this thread seems pretty inactive for this year admissions. 

[Ardent_PhD]

Really thank for your sharing. And I hope your final outcome will definitely turn out to be great. 

Was there any kind of questions like why do you choose LKYSPP or your past work experiences?

Do you apply for the financial aids?

Regards,

Ardent

In fact they didn't ask anything about my work experience specifically .  I had to bring it in my examples. Yup those questions about why this course etc were asked.   I have applied for financial aid, I can't imagine to study further  without it . 

[Ardent_PhD]

Thx for your answer.

Hope we will see each other @LKYSPP

The whimsical any words of advice about the interview? If they didn't ask about your work experience what kinds of questions did they ask? Thank you  I've got mine scheduled this week and a tad bit nervous...

[Ardent_PhD]

Hi Seaglass

Good luck for your interview 

 

[MPA hopeful]

Best of luck, seaglass! 

[seaglass0025]

Thank you Ardent and MPA hopeful! Hope both of you get interviews soon, it's an anxious feeling waiting! 

[The whimsical]

hi seaglass0025,

                             Questions asked were more of generic context. for example about  leadership. And need not be nervous about the interview ( though you are bound to be so ) . All the best . Do share your experience with us .
