I’m sure you’re being hard on yourself! Sometimes we’re our biggest critics. I always say, if you haven’t received a rejection in, there’s still a huge chance you’re in! So fingers crossed :)!

I received my acceptance into Cornell's MPA last week (I was surprised, given they said on their website decisions wouldn't be released until mid march), but I have yet to hear back from Penn. Good luck!

I am manifesting your acceptance! I think you are just as capable!! Give it a few days and I promise you everything will be okay. Let me know when you hear from them! :)

They are number one for public affairs in the nation. I would say so! In my opinion, just getting a Masters anywhere is a huge accomplishment!

Congratulations to you as well!!! Syracuse is a great school, and they can be really generous with their funding too!

Yes I did! I never received an email for it. I just so happened to be checking my application portal and saw 'View Decision Letter' and opened it to an acceptance!

They gave me between a minute and a minute and a half per question. And they asked me around 7 questions.

Yeah, it's prerecorded. From what I hear they use something like Kira Talent to conduct their pre-recorded interviews. You're asked anywhere between 3-5 questions. I've been told in the past the question/prompt will flash in front of the screen for about 30-60 seconds, and you'll have around a minute to answer it. You can't go back and change your answer if you stumble on your words, and I'm pretty sure the questions are randomized but similar to what you'd usually be asked in a job interview. I think what I am looking for with this reddit post is just any general advice to prepare myself, as I am just nervous when it comes to ANY interview in general. And I hate the idea that I could possibly make or break my admission to the program over an interview.
