Hello everyone. I'm just following up to let you all know that last week I finally got my grade back for the Capstone, and I passed. I don't know what the passing criteria is, but my Capstone assignment was given a grade of 60. With perfect scores on the other remaining assignments, I had a total of 68 percent. I know that there are designations of Not Pass, Low Pass, Pass, and Pass with Distinction, so I'm not sure what the cut off is, or whether they pass you on whether or not you made a proper effort or not in spite of whether or not they agree with your premise. The syllabus also does not specify.
It took a long time for the Capstone to be graded. All assignments were due January 17th, so to get results the second week of May is a bit much. But there you have it. I have passed. I am waiting for the certificate to arrive, when it is emailed to me, I will share it with you all as well as my final transcript.
It feels really cool to know that I am official Harvard Kennedy School alumni!!!

As for the Mid-Career MPA- applications open up in September. You know I'll be applying. Will update you all here, of course!
