MPP at Blavatnik School of Government

So we can expect offers to be made tomorrow or the day after? And those who don't hear back by Friday can expect a rejection next week?

Less chit-chat but so many more applicants and the competition seems fierce this year. It can go either way, so I'm keeping my expectations low.

can we confirm this from old students perhaps? This further increases our anxiety and fear..lol..isn't it possible that rejections also come earlier as well as acceptances? Or are the earlier decisions always acceptances?

In previous ears the acceptances came first and then a week later the rejections came in. That has been the pattern.

I checked Gradcafe. The deadline for last year was supposed to be March 21st, some positive decisions came on March 18th. You can confirm this yourself though

Oh that's great then. When did decisions start coming out last year?

You shouldn't have lower expectations; you got into Cambridge! Some of us were waitlisted and rejected afterwards but we choose to be hopeful. I think if you got into Cambridge, getting into Oxford will be a breeze.

Pardon me for asking but what are the expectations in terms of noise? I am certain everybody is anxious here and I have checked Gradcafe to see whether people have started receiving decision emails for the MPP programme but it turns out that it's still the same. I have been anxious and I have hardly had up to 5 hours of sleep since March 1st and I find myself also refreshing this page to see whether anyone might have gotten any decision. So really people are dealing with their anxieties in different ways

I think many people may be reading this thread but not posting anything. I'm very relaxed regarding when we will get a decision, probably because I already got an offer from LSE MPP -- but with no funding, so I'm preparing myself for the possibility that I may have to apply again next year.

Anyone heard back today? I have a feeling the results will definitely be out this week

Result would come today

Not yet

Result would come today

I would like to clarify, I noticed some people (in other departments) say they received rejections at 2:00am. Is that the time for rejection and acceptances? To be honest, I wake up every hour up until 2:00am to check and it’s driving me crazy.

I just got an email! I am in! I kind of expected to get in to be honest. I have 10 years + experience working for different governor’s in the US, was voted in myself not so long ago, and have 2 references from very senior individuals from the republican senate. I also graduated with a 4.0 from Harvard 15 years ago, and have an outstanding reference from the current Dean.

I wish everyone else luck. I think I will reject this offer from BSG to be honest. Not because of funding, but I have other offers from US schools that I would prefer to go to. Especially Harvard Kennedy.
