apply to Daad grant first in almost all cases, then comes applying to the program.

Woah that's way ahead of schedule! I thought they were only announcing the shortlist in July/August?

You don't need $8000 on a bank account if you have a letter from someone -- parents? -- who agrees to take financial responsibility for you. Or, if your parents are nice enough, they can transfer money onto an account with your name on it, you print out the account balance, and then wire the money back. As for working while you're there, it's been my experience that the work allowance is plenty to pay for your cost of living, especially if you can land a spot in a student dorm. It's not the most glorious lifestyle, but hey, you're still in Germany (!!) getting a Masters (!!) for cheap!

Wow Horb, I'm still pulling for you! I thought for sure you guys would have results before Easter

Congrats!!!

I'm pressing my thumbs for you guys!

Congratulations!!!!!

Yeah, I received the grant... I wonder if it's alphabetic or something? I'm surprised they didn't send out all at the same time...

So who all received funding? I'm about 30 minutes away from boarding the plane and saw that they had emailed!

This is ze wurst.

Perfect! Okay, then I'll quit hoping for results when I wake up in the morning!

Maybe it would be good to ask if will be notified by the Bonn or NYC office?

Aaaand it's past 5pm in Germany...

Sigh. I'm beginning to think this was all a hoax

Broke college grad, you'll have to let me know you if you end up in Hamburg! You didn't happen to apply to the PEP program did you? I'll cross my fingers that you get in to LMU as well! St Gallen is supposed to be beautiful! The wait is almost over...
