Scoring high on the test is not a sole criterion that we use when admitting students. One must also demonstrate academic excellence and submit high-quality application materials. If you have any more questions, feel free to <a href="mailto:yevheniya@ukrainianscholarships.org" rel="nofollow">email me</a>. . Dear Yuliya,

In one of the last letters of Mr. Bohdan Oryshkevych he wrote that an applicant must expect to score over 650 in TOEFL and over 750 in math but according to Score Stats 2008 you published right there there is no such people in English and just about three in math. These don't make 17 at all. So that seems a little contraversial. Could you please explain it to me? Thank you. Hey, I got a little confused about something.

Unfortunately, all that you put into the system is not rewarded and more than ever, with an NIH budget that has flat-lined for nearly 5 years, tenured slots being replaced with 'soft-money' positions that can be eliminated at any time, and nearly ~90,000 postdocs (people with PhDs) looking for someone to give them a chance at any position beyond the postdoc, being a scientist is not easy. Think twice, as things change and part of being a scientist is to realize this before others do.

I graduated myself last week with a master's in public administration. Half of my classes were primarily HKS leadership courses, while the other half were finance courses from HBS. As regards the future, I am evaluating my possibilities in Boston, London, and Ukraine, but I have not made a commitment yet. I would be happy to help with advice to your students or applicants seeking admission to and financing for the Kennedy School or other schools at Harvard. I have provided mentoring to two Ukrainian applicants to HKS, one of whom is are going to apply this year. At my recommendation, two other civic organization managers from Ukraine and Estonia will attend an executive leadership course this June at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts on a full scholarship.
