For the lurkers, I just communicated with one of the current Scholars. I was hoping that Humboldt was actually joshing around and that they'd notify as to who would be interviewing earlier than the end of friggin' March. She said that they not only hold to the original end of March timeline, but sometimes it extends into April. Ah Lawd!

 

I also asked if Humboldt reaches out to your references. She said for the most part no, but sometimes it does happen.

Otay,

 

I talked to another Fellow who also confirmed that she found out in April. Ugh!

 

She also said they for sure give you a confirmation as to whether or not you move on. They won't leave you guessing.

 

Hope ya'll are holding on! I'm doing better, but still anxious!

Damis, what exactly did you apply for? I'm curious about the types of projects they accept and how you prepared for the interview. I hope you enjoy your time in Germany!!!!

Hey!

 

Thanks a lot!

 

I'll be doing research on Germany's workforce development and vocational and education training systems. I know folks doing a wide array of research, though.

 

Here is a link to this year's fellows and a description of their projects. Here is a link to testimonials and other information from prior years. I saw so many types of projects! If you were applying for a DAAD I just know you'd be a good fit! PM me if you have any more questions!

I'm applying for this now in 2016, anybody else? Deadline is tomorrow and I wanted to commiserate about the difficulty of writing about your leadership qualities without feeling like a pompous ass.
