apply2017 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I have been assigned a financial aid counselor - it's in my MYFAID portal. Didn't get a separate message for it though. Venitian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there is no point reading too much into this because it can easily be a random assignment to all applicants and the rejects just get weeded out shortly.

poefan Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 I believe all have been assigned with a financial aid mentor. No separate email was sent regarding this. I just got a mail yesterday regarding the MYFAID login details. In the home page they have provided the name of the mentor along with contact details.

Anyone else seeing a similar change? God level observation. Was there some text earlier? I seem to forget but yes nothing above those toggle buttons now. I thank God for keeping me super busy this week at work. Otherwise this thread will kill me with anxiety. All the best to all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poefan Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 No changes to admission portal but have been assigned a counselor in the MYFAID portal. I was a part of the last year hks group in gradcafe and can surely say that changes or no changes are insignificant to one being accepted or rejected. It just signifies that results would be out soon and changes are being made to our portals. All the best to all. RealMowgli 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brown queer Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 As per my observation, it’s the MPA & MPA/ID applicants who have been updated with the counsellor. The MPP applicants are yet to be. This is also because both these courses have separate “teams” to handle it, & if you remember even the grievance redressal Email IDs were different for the two: MPP was appstatus@harvard while for MPA & MPA/ID it was something else. So essentially, nothing to worry about I’m sure! RealMowgli 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPP19 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Applied for the MPP, strong recommendation letters, strong SOP, and professional experience. Didn't apply for FAID because I have an external source of scholarship. Hoping for the best, but I don't expect I will get in - and I don't know the reason either because admission is not predictable based on these known factors. Good luck for everyone!

LFC Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 14 hours ago, frankfurtercardozo said: Further, any idea when the Japan World Bank Scholarship results are likely to be declared? A present JJ/WB scholar had informed me some time back that the results for MPA/ID partner program are released a week after HKS discloses its financial aid results. If the admission and financial aid results are declared later this week, then you can expect to hear back from JJ/WB next week. Fingers crossed!
