I just want to know! For better or for worse

So far still nothing.. The facebook group for this year's RISE Pro program still isn't up and I saw something from a few years ago where someone was accepted as late as March 18 for Rise Pro, so maybe there's still hope. I'm waiting anxiously to find out, even though I'm pretty sure I'm going to be rejected.

Nice, congrats @pretty_huge_degree! I'm sure you'll get official notification soon. May I ask what your major/positions you applied for?

Thanks @adfundum416, good luck too! Still no word.. I know for the internships in research groups (RISE) people have received some acceptance letters, but I've only seen 2 people say on different forums they've been accepted from DAAD for the RISE Professional program. It sounds like they personalize the e-mails, so they're doing it in waves. From previous years, it looks like everyone has found out for the most part before 10 March if they've been accepted and the rejection letters come after that. The facebook group for RISE Professional hasn't been made yet, so maybe they haven't finished sending the acceptance letters. This waiting is killing me!

Congrats rehab on getting an internship! I'm a Master's student in chemical engineering in my final term with a GPA of 92.5% (combined undergrad and Master's) with just research experiences and no internships. I applied for 3 chemical engineering, but sadly I haven't heard anything either. I was very optimistic at the time of applying, but since I haven't heard anything, I'm starting to come to the conclusion they've filled the positions. I'll keep you updated with any news (good or bad).
