Hi all,

Just heard back via email from Uta. I didn't get the grant (again). I think that is it for me and DAAD. I'm off to sob and then get back to grad school. Good luck to everyone else.

I'm so sorry to hear that Horb  I think they really need to redo their method of releasing results, the "keep you hanging" game was just awful. All your info and detective work through this thread has been so appreciated!

I have just emailed Uta asking her to confirm whether all acceptances for Intensive Language have now been notified. 

 

Will let you know what she says. 

 

(still waiting, Intensive Language, DAAD NY)

Let us know if you hear anything!

I know, there are definitely strange things afoot. You'd think they could just do a simple mail merge... 

I wonder if the fact they had that whole double website/switchover/one website being down shenanigans back in November/December (anyone else remember this?) has anything to do with it....Maybe they've done a system overhaul and the learning curve is what is making it slower?

 

Or maybe that's my wishful thinking

Wait what is "just saw"? Like today in the morning or sooner? Maybe it's done in rounds?

Hey! Sorry for the confusing wording - I read here that statuses were changing, messaged him, he checked and saw the status had changed - though not sure WHEN it changed. This was yesterday at around 4:30-5pm EST, so I am guessing he just doesn't check as often as I do...

If the selections are inconsistently sent out that's maybe my one bit of hope... I'm applying from Canada, and my friend who received the funding is lower down in the alphabet than I am.... :/

Well, still no change. The thumping of my heart suggests a rejection. . . 

Still no change for me either, and my friend who I applied with just saw his status changed to "Funding"....Sigh.... I guess there's always next year.

 

And congrats to everyone who has received their funding!!!

Does anyone waiting for the intensive language grant has the subject field populated?

Me neither! Blank for both Subject and Subject Group...

Hi all,

I went through the last few years of DAAD and found similar notification periods, namely:

Study: Late March (3/28/2013, 3/24/2014, 3/31/2015)

Research: Late March (3/28/2013, 3/28/2014, 3/31/2015)

Intensive: Mid April (4/16/2014, 4/17/2015) (though someone mentioned hearing at the start of March in 2013...)

It looks like I may be in for a long wait...

Thanks for doing this detective work, Horb! But also: euuuuugh mid-April? Looks like I'll be biting my nails for longer than expected

Question for intensive language grant applicants: how long was your statement of purpose?

Mine was 3, 1.5 spaced. During the application process I contacted the Canadian offices in Toronto and was told the Tabular CV and Letter of Intent could be max. 3 pages each, with no specifications on margins or font.

Another anxious intensive language grant applicant here. I am so happy to have found this forum after discovering today that my status has changed (when? who knows...still can't understand why they don't send out e-mail notifications!) to "selection made."

Has anyone worked up the nerve to e-mail them about a timeline? Or heard anything more?

[Met Internships]

Still no news. I've basically given up hope at this point....

[Met Internships]

Hello!

Has anyone been contacted for the graduate MuSe program yet? As there's not much time left I'm growing anxious...>.<

Hey trapstone, I also applied to the graduate program and haven't heard anything....

Any other grads out there with better news?

[Met Internships]

Hey Everyone - has anyone had any news yet? I'm starting to think it's probably not happening for me, but would love to know if anyone else made it through!

[Met Internships]

Still no word over here either :/ I thought maybe it was because I'm not an American applicant, but perhaps not... The nail-biting continues!

[Met Internships]

I also haven't heard anything.... 
I noticed on the Cloister's internship page they mention they send out invitations late February/early March, so for anyone else who applied for the Brummer digitization project hope is not lost!!

[Met Internships]

Hey kaleidescopelove! The grad app was also due on the 23rd. I don't think you need to be worried about it yet, it's still fairly early in the game, and they have a lot of applications to sift through. I think about 3 weeks is normal for processing/getting in contact with candidates. 

Although now that I type this, I'm suddenly nervous...#waitinggame

[Met Internships]

No worries, Lotje19! I applied for the Cloisters Library position, and the European Painting (19th Century) position...which is one of the most popular ones - or so I've heard  .

 

 

Even though I read the old entries in this thread, I'm still not sure when interviews/notifications/etc. actually happen! 

 

I think the most confusing part is the departments are responsible for contacting their individual applicants, so notifications come out at different times/are highly variable? Not 100% sure on that though...

[Met Internships]

Another (anxious) applicant here for this year's Graduate Internship! From what I can tell, interviews happen mid-late february, and then there may or may not be a second round of interviews, depending on which program you have applied to.... Although not entirely sure of that, since it's a bit hard to tell from the past posts.
