Kirstin replied to my mail today; she just said that results will be declared within 2 weeks.

Haha, if that's the reply then I won't make it as well And frankly speaking I'm not too dejected, because I knew this was coming. I have a semi-unrelated bachelor's degree in engineering, and no prior international internship/research experience. Applicants who had been in research-intensive roles are preferred. A master's program is what I initially targetted. Me applying to GESS was like Scotland playing in the Cricket World Cup None of us had any chance of winning, yet we were eligible to compete, did all that we could and enjoyed ourselves

Oh I see. Anyway, it was a long shot for me, so no regrets. By the way, who mailed you? Kirstin or some other official?

Yes, but no response till now

Hmm. But if you finalize on studying in Germany, then you'll have to take an English proficiency test. From this year the consulate has made this compulsory The last result updated here was on 26 May. Nothing since then. I'm really at a loss. For some results came as early as 10 May. I think results are being declared as and when the applications are checked. It's not that all applications have been evaluated and then results are being published. Also there may be the issue of newly formed departments. One good thing is that the applications to CDSB are evaluated by different committees, unlike those to CDSE and CDSS.

Whoa, that's grand news! Heartiest congrats and wishing you all the very best for the exciting and eventful time ahead. See, my prediction has been so flawless And thanks a ton for the good wishes, I really need it now. And yes music, along with Hangman and Sudoku, will fill up the tensed moments of my leisure. Keep dancing, be awesome always

Looks like our anxieties are aligned as well It's been a horribly anxious day for me - checked my inbox a few dozen times in between work, messed up my schedule, the to-be-done list got longer, and deadlines are snarling at the door. In short, screwed myself up wondefully. And it's literally 'any day now', because I've seen admission results being sent on weekends as well. The admissions office said results will be announced by mid-June. How many millenia till then?

Nope, visa interview. Sorry for the confusion. Have youy already taken TOEFL/IELTS?

Oh, much relieved now. Some friends said the approval process after the interview might take around 21 days. The earlier, the better. And from this year English proficiency test is mandatory for visa application. Will have to take TOEFL as well.

Mid-June should be the limit because classes will begin from September and those who'll be selected will have to complete a lot of visa application-related formalities. I haven't called the office but definitely will mail. Hadn't been home yesterday. Will have to submit all remaining applications within this week, am stressed like hell

Same here :-( Tell me something, in your email did you only ask about the probable date of declaration of result, or about your application status as well?

I guess they are flooded with emails. But admission results are emailed even on weekends, so we can expect a mail anytime. I will email the office early next week. In the meantime will have to write another SOP.

That's great, so you already have a good option in hand. I don't have research experience, but do have some related professional experience. And I took the GMAT. I've applied for the integrated Ph.D. program in Management of Goethe Frankfurt and will apply for the M.Sc. Management programs of OVGU Magdeburg and Goethe. As I've done my bachelors in engineering, options for graduate studies in management are very limited for me. From which university have you got the offer? Daily life would be much easier in an English-speaking country like the U.S. Will Mannheim still be your first preference? But here it's a Ph.D. program, so that's an advantage. By the way, do you speak German?

Yes, until last year it was offered jointly with Accounting. From this year Accounting and Taxation has been split up. Same for Operations Management and Information Systems as well. Did you apply in the first round? I did right on the final deadline

Mid-July? I don't think it'll be that late. Yes, definitely, I'll inform you if I get to hear from the admissions office. I generally contact Marion Lehnert.
