Hmm, my previous message didn't seem to go through. I was wondering whether you are an international students, since I guess int'l students do not necessary receive phone calls? So you still have a chance? Also, I am on the same boat in terms of Harris; let's hope for the best!

I'm sorry for the rejection. Hopefully you (we!) get into Chicago! (I didn't apply to Harvard). One thing though: you seem pretty sure that you've been rejected. Given that you have an MA in Economics, I assumed you are an international student, and international students do not necessarily get a call, right? Also, isn't the starting class at HKS 12 – perhaps there are other people not, mostly international, that have been or will be accepted? Not sure about Oxford, I believe it will be quite competitive, since there are not too many PhD degree in Public Policy in Europe, and its a growing ''field''!

I can't wait for the results either! Just horrible. Has anybody heard any news? Somebody wanna share a profile? This topic is surprisingly silent given that there are hundreds of applicants to public policy schools in the US... Btw, has anyone applied to Oxford's new DPhil in Public Policy program?

Another PhD Public Policy applicant here! It'd be interesting to hear what kind of profiles do you guys have and where are you applying? GRE? Previous studies? Grades? Work experience? I applied to Princeton (STEP concentration), Berkeley, Duke, Harris and Michigan. Profile GRE: 168Q, 162V, 4.5AW Studies: Bachelor in engineering & graduate studies in economics, policy and the environment (also a Master's degree) Grades: mostly top 10-20% of the class in grad and undergrad level Work/research experience: mostly alongside with studies, 1.5-2 years of pretty relevant stuff overall Princeton would be a dream...
