quietman Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 I hope so! I'm not as confident about my initial Wednesday prediction, but I'm still thinking we hear this week.

I'm not as confident about my initial Wednesday prediction, but I'm still thinking we hear this week. They released decisions the second Wednesday in March last year but last year's application submission deadline was also a day later. This brings me to conclude that Thursday would be the latest day of official release. The fact that I'm talking about this is sad...I can't seem to shake my 'decision-week' jitters. This is what I've come to, lol. Edited March 8, 2016 by HRC2016

Hopefully they won't be like "this name is difficult, put it in that other pile". Haha
edpolicy2015 Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Matt and the admissions team are absolutely amazing. I love how transparent they have been through this whole process. I can't believe they are sitting in a living room sipping coffee while we are checking our emails obsessively. I love the fact that they know we are all losing it. Thanks for all the hard work HKS admissions team! Wonder if they check this blog. T minus 1 day and counting. Hopefully! loveglove, quietman and HRC2016 3

I'm sure someone in the office is a mole on this site (it could be me). Sigh of relief that decisions are finally made. We just need it to be communicated to the group. Unfortunately, the vast majority of those names Matt and the team are reading are "not admitted." Still, sending positive vibes to everyone on this chain! Almost to the finish line!
quietman Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 And now the veritas is gone from the status checker....

Also, anyone else notice that the status page (https://admissions.hks.harvard.edu/apply/status) changed? Most of the text is now gone for me. Just logged into my status page and all of the text is there, but the Veritas logo is gone. Dont want to read too much into this, but does that mean logo and no text means admitted? and if logo is gone = rejected??
obrien_blue Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Veritas is gone form mine as well. Text is still there. WHAT COULD THIS MEAN?!

Assuming we're looking at the same thing, the text that is there now isn't the text I was referring to. Initially there was a large amount of text that included detailed info about applying....that disappeared about a week ago and now just the checklist text seems to remain. I think you're probably reading too much into the logo bit...I suspect (and hope) that the same thing is occurring for everyone. Edited March 8, 2016 by quietman
obrien_blue Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 I have checklist text. Maybe the logo is gone for everyone? I'm pretty sure we're all reading too much into this. But that's how it's going to be until we know something!

Do you mean text as in the application checklist? I think that's what needanswers meant by text. NA quoted a post I made earlier about text disappearing, but I was referring to the detailed instructions that were initially part of the status checker prior to disappearing around a week ago.

sp108 Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Question. How is HKS' funding? Do they give any? If they don't, would you guys still consider going there?
