Public Policy, Harvard University I am delighted to share the news of my HKS acceptance. However, I was offered no financial aid and without it I cannot possibly bear the cost. What should I do? Now I have the following admits: 1. Cornell ($20k) 2. HKS - No financial aid

Public Policy, Harvard Kennedy School glad I wasn't edged out by the masses of opportunistic "bad test-takers" that applied this year without GRE scores. no funding, but that's to be expected with HKS (FYI to those waitlisted: you will not receive funding). after all, if I was that concerned with money, I would just go to WWS

Public Administration (mid-career), Harvard Kennedy School Amazing to receive acceptance to my dream school, but zero funding. That was disappointing, coming in with 14+ yrs experience and what I felt was a really strong application. With a WWS free-ride acceptance in hand, hard to justify enrolling at HKS with a $90k price tag.

Woodrow Wilson School (WWS), Princeton University Admitted to MPA program. Low GRE quant score (v low look at it!) I take it as a testament that adcom does takes a holistic view of your app. Don't be discouraged if you are bad at test taking/haven't refreshed on math, put your best foot forward in other parts of the app and shine through! Profile: 2.6 years full-time WE (2 at top think tank, rest at top consultancy), many internships during undergrad. Fulbright, CLS, & national fellowship recipient. Publications. Accepted at Yale ($$$), Georgetown ($$$), UCSD ($$$), & Columbia ($$). Waiting on HKS & SAIS.

Public Policy, Harvard Kennedy School For those who had heard back from HKS PhD - what concentration did you apply for? Emailed the admission office and they said the applications are still under review. Decisions will come out by March 15th. Wondering if the decisions for different concentrations come out at different times.
