I’m just wondering: Would it be acceptable to them to release on the same dates as WWS? WWS is out Thursday 

[MPP19]

A new topic was posted on the blog this time yesterday/before by Matt, but nothing yet. Is it gonna be the admission decisions?

I think it would probably be beneficial to them, so fin aid hopefuls are not waiting on and weighing WWS and HKS only to find out days later they are getting nothing from HKS. (My understanding is that we will find out decision/aid simultaneously, at least for MPP?) 

No blog post today (yet). Could they be skipping the “room where it happens” post and releasing decisions today?! Better question, when will I stop trying to predict this........

I guess that’s exactly what is in everyone’s mind right now!

Just wondering, what does everyone’s finaid page look like today? I’m applying for MPP and still at the no financial aid counselor or documents/messages stage (I previously had one.)

I’m sure it means nothing, but can’t help but compare....

Since they skipped multiple posts this year and mostly only did the inevitable ones, my best guess is: results today. Four-five hours and we all will be the wiser.

Exactly my thoughts!

Same here.

And I am still worried about my admission page as it still has all the info regarding contact details. This has been debated over so many times that I am not able to free my mind and think about it and connect the dots whatsoever.

Hi guys, 

New here. Just logged in yesterday to help with the last stretch. 

Damis, which fellowship was this? I've applied for CPL as well, but haven't heard back. Wondering if CPL is done.

I applied for CPL as well, but haven't heard from them :/

Mine does too. Hopefully it will end today. C'mon Matt.

I also think them skipping a post today means they will be releasing decisions today! (?

Agreed. If nothing's up by 11am, assume decisions are going out (they've released 11am/1pm over past few years).

Don't worry about it. Mine is the same too. I think you are for mpa/id as well?

Assuming contact info on admissions page = still there on the left bar, same for me. But I'm MPP.

four hours thirtytwo minutes. I can't take it anymore. Gimme the 'sults!

I seriously hope that their counter can’t have 3 digits! (Which will force results today?)

[apply2017]

Before the results guys, whatever the final outcome, it was nice to talk to everybody here and I wish each one of you the best of success going ahead. Thanks and good luck.

Everyone, this has been a crazy process. It's had its ups and downs but I love how Gradcafe is the only real online community for us public policy people. We are all determined to serve in one way or another, and with that kind of fire, we will accomplish our goals, linearly or not. Best of luck!

Yeah, I assumed everyone had this. For me, the text that disappeared was something saying “your application has been processed and is complete” etc.

Yes.

Name-reading post just dropped on the HKS Admissions blog.

Are we thinking that means decisions late today? Tomorrow? The suspense is killing me.

No. Ugh, tomorrow probably. So annoyed right now.
