TPB: pretty sure below acceptance off waitlist is a troll. Their stats are not great and it's way too early for movement on the waitlist at a place like Harvard

TPB accepted off waitlist: congratulations! could you plase share your intended fields of study?

TPB accepted off the waitlist: were you contacted by the department or GSAS?

No financial aid.

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

1 year work experience in the US, international student, US undergrad

Very flattered, but no funding so will likely have to turn it down.

Accepted off waitlist

Email to check portal. 3 years work experience in foreign policy at a DC think tank. What I felt were strong letters and essays, but hard to say how they'd compare to others'. I am in shock. No word on funding, but the letter says to look for an email from a fin aid counselor.

A bit disappointing, but this makes my decision on where to attend much easier!

No interview

No interview & a short rejection notification. I guess they prefer applicants with a strong quantitative background. Anyway, I'm going to a great Ph.D. program instead.

Had professor lobbying for me also. Brutal cycle. Congrats to all who got in and best of luck to everyone else!
