    psych_33 got a reaction from viggosloof28 in DAAD   
    I'm really hoping for notifications tomorrow. I have a thesis due in the next week, so I'd really love to free myself from the need to compulsively check my e-mail every 10 seconds. Come on DAAD, please let us all have our sanity back this week!!

    As far as notifying Fulbright, the e-mail I received (as an alternate candidate) stated that principal candidates have about a month from the time they are notified to make a decision. I don't think it would reflect poorly at all if you accepted the CBYX and withdrew from Fulbright. In fact, I'm pretty certain that's why they select so many alternates, being that many of us have applied for other funding/grad school programs as well. Considering there is an age limit on CBYX, if you are really into that program, I would probably go for that, just because it's possible to receive for a Fulbright again at a later time and you could still put your Fulbright status on your resume/CV. (I'm a little biased though--As an alternate candidate, I am desperately hoping in the back of my mind that Germany will somehow end up with enough funding to bump me up to P status before the end of this summer. *wishful thinking*)

    Oh my god, seriously!!!! This is the best thing I've seen all day. Haha
     
    Honestly, I almost regret telling so many people about my application. It's nice that people care and all, but every five minutes, someone's like "so, have you heard yet?!" and I'm just like... "FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME, I WILL TELL YOU WHEN I KNOW, OKAY?!?!!"

    In theory, yes, but will I stop refreshing my inbox between now and then? Likely not. Fulbright problems. Haha.

    That is awesome! I am just finishing my undergrad now, so I will have some time before I really determine where life is taking me. While i am not qualified to it myself, I get to watch a lot of diagnostic visits (ADOS/ADI for every child/parent, regardless of if they have a previous diagnosis or not) and am also very interested in language acquisition. I work a lot with children outside of my lab and it's so interesting to me how my behaviour has changed since starting to work there. Parents with younger children are also starting to approach me with certain concerns (i.e. nonverbal kids or what to do about stimming) and it is still strange to me how applicable what i have learned in a lab setting is to my daily life
     
    edit: just so you're clear my first piece of advice is always to go to our city's autism clinic! not pretending to be an expert or anything but i have given advice on different ways of relating to children or and assure parents that what they think is  "strange" (like sleeping problems and anxiety) is very normal in children with autism

    Hey Caelryck,

    At least you are over in Europe...that would be so interesting...I'm still over in New Hampshire, Murica....working in Finance....ugh so boring. My job is so dull and not mentally stimulating...any monkey could do it...I just took it because the job market was really tough when I graduated...and as for doing a Masters here in the U.S: 1)I find Europe much more interesting 2) I cant really afford to rack up anymore student loan on top of the one i already have from undergrad (Murican higher education system is broken, I mean 55,000 per year...how is that ok?)

    that's awesome! i actually work in a neuropsych lab, and we are currently look at sensory processing in children with autism in regards to hearing and cognition and taste/smells. because of the extent that i've learned in my lab, i have thought a lot about going into that field of research (the lab is under brain and cognitive sciences, but because i have experience with children with intellectual disability and autism, they took me on). 

    but my area of study is wayyyyyyyyy different than that. I am a history student, currently looking at theories of atrocity and the personal accounts of soldiers who perpetuated mass murder on the eastern front in 1941. i am looking at a lot of Wehrmacht orders and well as Tagebücher describing official activities of the army and comparing them to diaries and post-war interviews. Basically, what I have found is that a lot of men were never explicitly required to participate in the mass killings and that there were often no consequences for making oneself scare during these operations, so my thesis is examining different theories that explain men's motivations to participate. not exactly light reading, haha.

    Come on Fulbright, give us more good news!!!! I dreamt that today would be the day I find out, so this wait is absolutely killing me! I think I have spent more time refreshing my e-mail than I have on studying/homework this entire semester. I can't wait to find out so I can finally go back to being a good student! Haha.
     
    Fingers crossed for everyone!!!! (or, as the Germans say, Daumen drücken!)

    I'm not sure I can wait two more full weeks. My job is boring enough that I can refresh this forum every five minutes.
     
    @psych_33: I'm another German research hopeful, and also a Michigan alumna. Go blue! Hope things work out for us.

    I guess it's time for us all to just drop our expectations/predictions for notification dates based on past years... this is the earliest Japan has ever notified by like 3 weeks! And a bunch of others are way later than normal. So I guess it's all a mystery now and we can stop making guesses. Right?
     
     
    Wrong. I'm still firmly believing I'll find out next Tuesday!

    Ugh, me too! The stress is unreal!!!! I'm constantly checking my e-mail for notifications, even at 2am when it's not at all likely that anything would even come through. I wish it was easier to deal with all of this uncertainty!

    Oddly enough, I logged in to the DAAD portal today out of habit of frantically checking on my applications and my application status has switched back to "application submitted!" I'm wondering if the rejection status that I saw was accidental because I've been seeing notices on the portal homepage that they have been working on training and editing parts of the site lately. I'm going to cross my fingers once again for both DAAD and Fulbright and hope that at least one of them comes through for me. Thank you for being so supportive, RosyPosy68! I love that everyone on this thread is so helpful!

    I don't know if you posted on the DAAD GC thread, but a BUNCH of people had that issue, so I wouldn't be too concerned. I hope you are fortunate and get both!

    I'm sorry for your disappointment, but I'm keeping my fingers EXTRA-CROSSED that it's only because you have a Fulbright waiting for you!
