vhym06 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I'm guessing this is a no...but has anyone ever successfully negotiated more funding at HKS after having received some? I was offered one of the Belfer IGA fellowships, which sounds really cool, but it's only $10k a year - barely makes a dent in the overall cost. Worth trying or will I be laughed out of the financial aid office? I did not receive any aid =( and I'm tempted to ask, but like you said, I'm not sure if I should try, knowing that MYFAID has already stated that they've already given out more aid than they actually have, anticipating for some candidates to decline the offer.

ianpolicy Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Does anyone know historically how many people are put on the wait list for the MPP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReinventOneself Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 (edited) Does anyone know historically how many people are put on the wait list for the MPP? It doesn't appear that exact number is (publicly) available. And it appears to vary from year to year. But the following blog post should be helpful: http://hksadmissionblog.tumblr.com/post/112726954733/2015-reading-and-decision-process-post-7 Edited April 8, 2015 by ReinventOneself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dar19 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Any admitted students requesting deferral due to financial issues? Any ideas when can we expect to hear back from them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianpolicy Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Hey folks! Any people here sitting tight on the wait list for the MPP hoping for any updates? I know that the supposed last day for admitted students to accept or reject their offer of admission was yesterday. I know that speculating about whether or not they will pull from the wait list does no good, but my fingers are crossed nonetheless! To all those admitted, I hope that you've settled on the school that feels like the best fit! Best of wishes to all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianpolicy Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 No word for me yet. Hopefully, they release some, if any, wait list admits this week. Last year on the results search, it appears that two people were admitted on April 29. Maybe a similar timeline? I read on another thread that they would wait until already admitted students started submitting their deposits to attend before they made decisions about going to the wait list. December 1219, which program are you waiting for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

december1219 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Today I received an email to ask whether I still want to remain on the waitlist. How about u guys ? Do you guys have any plan or still remain on the waitlist ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_King Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Hi all. Well, I can only speak about the MC/MPA program - including the Mason list - and I don't think we're going to go to the waitlists soon. We had separate yield estimates for the Mason and the non-Mason pools, and we were off on both. Our yields are higher than we budgeted. So for those two programs - we won't be going to the waitlist soon, if at all. I don't know where we are on the MPA2 yields - and I have absolutely *no* information on the MPP or MPA/ID yield rates. If you're on the MC/MPA waitlist, feel free to email me, and I'll be happy to talk through things with you. I'm *very* sorry that we don't have better news for the MC/MPA folks who've been holding on this long. ReinventOneself 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I am on the waitlist of MPP program, and the email said we should expect to wait until late May or even June. I think the only thing I can do is to wait. : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
