    Hi Ivan! You have truly helped a (somewhat lost) aspiring Harvard Kennedy School Masters' in Public Policy applicant from Mexico. Thank you so much.

    Hi Ivan! Thank you for sharing so much helpful information with us! I am curious to know what the 12 criteria are (on the optional questionnaire) if you don't mind sharing😊

    • @IvanValdovinosGradSchool
      @IvanValdovinosGradSchool ปีที่แล้ว +3

      They basically ask the letter of recommendation writer to rate the applicant based on their academic performance, leadership skills, and aptitude in comparison to their experiences with other people whom they have worked with.

      I can’t really say if you will indefinitely not get in, but it’s not going to be a good thing for your application. You need to find people who will attest to who you are as a scholar, researcher, practitioner, change agent and most importantly who you are on a personal level.

I still have 3 years left to graduate but I was really interested in HGSE's program, as it also has a concentration in Arts. I will probably take the path to become an illustrator of books for teenagers and was wondering if the program that is offered by Harvard could be of any help in such a specific field or if it only prepares students to become future teachers. In addition, are there a lot of international students studying at HGSE?

You could always reach out to admissions to see if their programs can prepare you for your chosen career.
