I heard on the germany end they did some major restructuring. I'm going to just assume next week

So tomorrow, for sure, right?

I'm keeping my eyes open for both. I mean, they could change it this year for no reason. Idk though.

Hi guys. I'm currently stalking the DAAD posts in the Bank forum. I asked about my grant status and was told we would hear back end of March/Early April. It seems that is still the case. This is for US to Germany scholarships though, so idk if this is different for others applying outside the US.

I already emailed, otherwise I would. But seeing as recent years it has always been DAAD NY, idk why they'd change it. And the email I received mentioned the DAAD NY person receiving the results late March/Early April.

Anyone who hasn't emailed want to email and see if we can expect this week???

I mean my email suggested my results would be from New York so I'm still hoping

I still think it could come from DAAD New York....

Reading for next week. Not fun, but hey, I gotta do it.

MA exam done. Now to sob quietly in a corner.

I hope for good news before. Bad news would just distract me

I have my MA exam tomorrow. I will not be on for 3 hours. You can bet that is when they will tell me. Or right before.

Head Office could mean Bonn and perhaps the writer meant that they would let you know about the portal issues?

I like how I never not read this forum. It is pretty much always open.

Yup. I guess we can party then. Though honestly, waking up to a notification in my inbox would be pretty sweet.

I wish I could up vote more than once. Perhaps also: "Ah, yes! New Idea: This year we send selection notifications through our Bonn office. That way those poor fools will think American working hours apply when in reality, they don't!"

I imagine from the time we submit until we hear back there is a projector in a room somewhere with a popcorn machine and couches that the staff sits on and collectively laughs at our posts and theories.

I hope we all find out soon and have positive results

Yeah, I'm interviewing for a summer job tomorrow that I'd really want if DAAD weren't an option. Hopefully they have a few ppl to interview so that I have some time to hear back.

How are people handling figuring out future plans with such uncertainty? The DAAD is obviously my top choice, but I'm concerned I may have to accept/decline a job before knowing if I got the DAAD. Anyone else with similar struggles or recommendations on how to handle this?

This is too real.

I'm calling it on today. I somehow feel like it'll be Friday of next week. Because that would be most inconvenient.

After much searching through grad cafe postings: it seems it comes out at random times.

THIS FRIDAY IT IS THEN. Although: I think a few years ago ppl found out on a Wednesday.

I'm going to demand you all get the award. And that you get it tomorrow.
