Yep I think you're right... And I tried calling DAAD to find out more information, but just received the usual "end of March or beginning of April" line again. Sigh.

I like that there are between 5 and 10 people always reading this forum...

Haha exactly. So if that's the case, then we probably aren't hearing today since it's already 2pm in Germany?

"They fell for the 'selection made' trick again this year!"

I wonder if someone at DAAD is reading this laughing at how much we're all obsessing right now...

"Take a drink every time you hear your phone buzz causing you to frantically check your email only to be disappointed by a Jcrew sale announcement"

It would be nice if we knew a time so we could stop rotating between the portal, email, and this forum...

Aaaaand another day of compulsively checking my email begins...

Viggosloof28, are you also applying for the research grant for doctoral candidates? Or does yours say something else?

Mine also still says "study scholarship for graduates" -- THE SUSPENSE!!! I don't remember being this worked up about Fulbright two years ago. I just came back from showering one day and checked my email and voila there was the acceptance email. None of this constant refreshing!

Congratulations!!! Hope you will end up with the chancellor fellowship! Jeez, I would sure like an email from the DAAD at 3am Any day now....

Sounds like a great plan, Horb! Crossing my fingers for you!

I should just cave in and set the DAAD portal to my homepage. I check it often enough...

I have the feeling they will release this week!

To be honest, the program is a lot more economics than it is politics and philosophy -- that can be good or bad depending on your preferences. Personally, I was a bit surprised to be handing in problem sets with mathematical proofs. Hopefully the next few semesters will be less econ focused.

Ooops sent that off too early! I'm currently in my first year of a M.Sc. in Politics, Economics and Philosophy in Hamburg... Still have another year to go and would love some DAAD funding

Hey! I lived in Marburg for a year on a Fulbright grant. If you get it, let me know and I can give you some tips on restaurants, cafés, etc.

Hope you get it! Doing an intensive language course in Germany would be a great experience -- I would love to do the same thing in France, but so far I haven't found comparable programs to the DAAD. Do you know which city you would be in?

Hi there! I'm waiting on the DAAD grant as well and the suspense is killing me. I know it doesn't help to compulsively check the DAAD Portal, but ugh. They should have a support group for this. Hoping to hear something soon!!
