Weird..nothing changed for me.

Weird..nothing changed for me. The page that has the two buttons, one for admissions and one for financial aid. I think its the main status page.

I think its the main status page. I think we previously discussed these portal changes. It did not seem there was strong correlation to decisions..my did not change before when few people reported or now...I see some are MPA/ MPP and some are MPA/ID...I do not know if all these decisions are aggregated by the same office...i know MPA/ID has a separate admission committee.

Are you MPA/ID? You really shouldn't worry if you are. The batches are indeed treated differently with different teams/people on it.

Yes the process is separate...maybe as we wait we can speculate by looking if there is a pattern among people who received the harvardkey error email + portal change few days + portal change now hehe
santiis2cool Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Hahaha, now the contact section disappeared. What does it all mean?!
tinpants12 Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 7 minutes ago, Optimus007 said: It did not seem there was strong correlation to decisions Mine has changed back and forth now three times. First my portal had contact info, then it went away a few weeks ago. Then the contact info was back (this morning), now it's gone again. Who knows. If it means anything, I don't think we are going to figure it out!

saranyc234 Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 portal changes very confusing. i think everyone ended up receiving the harvard key email... at least we didnt hear from anyone who didnt
congoAppMCMPA Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 harvardkey + no portal change + no status change

drumroll Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 I too applied only to HKS. I'm not checking my page for changes. I'll check only the final answer. It's clear the changes are related to their updating the system regarding the results, but I think we will be the ones to help next year applicants to figure out if there is any relation to the result itself. The previous change generated to much unnecessary stress to me. I love a logic puzzle, but this one is just too emotional. I think the Admissions team must be working insanely to get all this right, and to avoid you get a negative when you should be getting a positive, or worse yet, you get a positive when you should be getting a negative. And if there is a problem with the system, then they necessarily need more time. I never thought the whole process would be so transparent and so friendly. The blog is great, there is a wealth of advice so we don't lose points due to mistakes on form, since it is content they are looking for. Whatever happens, this was a very instructive process. Also, this forum here at grad cafe is good so we know we are normal in our anxieties and we can help each other. I like the community feel. Even the picky arguments are a good distraction from the wait. My original guess was the results would be out on the 15th (mid-march), but I have been convinced by y'all that they are more likely to be released today. Good luck (and strong nerves) to everyone!

Optimus007 Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Anyone thinking they will have to defer if they do not get funding from HKS...or you guys have outside sources?
drumroll Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Just out of curiosity: @Obecalp, is there a story behind your fake medicine nick?

I literally had changing dreams about the admission decision. I'm talking about DREAMS, not just A DREAM. It literally stuck into my nerve.
