yes! thank you

Do you have any preference for academic or work recommenders?

I have you a bit more than 2 years of experience, is it ever acceptable to submit two academic recommendations and one professional recommendation? Especially if one of the academic recommendations is a professor who supervised and will discuss extracurricular work?

At least some of us who will be applying to HKS are looking to make a career change (in my case, from private sector into public service). Given that HKS is looking for people with a specific idea of how they want to make a positive impact, what is the best way for those of us looking to refresh our careers to communicate our passion for a given policy objective without having explored it in a professional setting?

(1) How many people generally apply for the MPP programme? (2) How many generally receive admissions and how many are waitlisted?

If I have specific questions on certain portions of the online application form, should I be reaching out to appstatus@hks.harvard.edu or the admissions team?

Incase one applicant has applied in MBA Round 1 of business school and he has not opted for Joint Degree Program/ Essay. After submission of business school application, he applies to HKS with the intention to pursue Joint Degree with business School. If applicant is admitted in business school would HKS consider applicant for Joint Degree?

Thank you, Mary!

Is it possible to get in touch with any current students in the school? If yes, how does one go about that?

I am about to enter my second year of work experience, does that mean I can ask a supervisor for a rec?

Thank you!

Thanks!

Thanks

Do you have any difference in expectations for MPP versus joint MBA/MPP applicants?

I believe Joint degree seminar is on its way
