THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!!!!!!!
You have an impressive profile. I think you are applying appropriately and have chosen your schools wisely.
Applying to the joint program with HKS does not affect your MBA admissions chances. You may also want to consider the joint program between Wharton and SAIS, if you are interested in the public sector on an international scale.
If you would like
help with your applications, please keep Accepted in mind.
