Got my rejection today. Haven't received a letter, but my status changed. I'm so happy that finally my waiting is over and I can move on. Good luck to everyone else, who are still waiting!

I really hope they get this thing done this week, but deep inside I feel that we don't hear before the next week. Let's hope for the best.

I wrote them via portal last week. They apologized for the delay and told that results should be out this week. But I don't know if to believe them or not. Firstly I was told end of March, then beginning of April, then mid-April and now this week. I feel like I have already prepared myself for the rejection and don't wait for the result anymore

Who are still waiting for the results?

I'm so sorry, Horb! But now the waiting is over. One thing is result, but another thing is that they let you to wait so long... And finally you had to ask about result and got it through e-mail - I think that's kinda lame. And thank you for all the support and shared information

That's really stupid. But have you got an answer to your email?

I don't get it why they don't reply to you...

Yep, that's true. I was also told that everything comes from the headquarters. As usually the pattern is selection made -> blank -> result. Good luck, let's hope for the funding !

I have visited Riga 5 times, so I'm not the local, but in my opinion in the summer (around July, August). Old town is very beautiful and with nice weather you can take a long walk and enjoy the city. Definitely worth to visit.

I have send message via portal, it was 3 weeks ago maybe. I asked about the status "selection made", which was like a cover question not to ask directly when the results are out. And I got answer within a day that please be patient, the "selection made" means nothing and wait for the official letter. And that was it. Now I am not gonna write them via portal, I don't see any point of it. Probably the answer is the same - please be patient. That's why I decided to call today - just to get a little bit more information. And one more thing... I have sent twice letter via portal. Both times I have got answer from different persons. First letter was about application process and documents - answer was very polite, friendly and informative. But the second one was about the "selection made" - answer was short, a bit rude and after reading it I felt guilty that I even wrote that letter. But you can't choose the person whom you write... That might also be the reason why I don't want to write again.

Yep. Now I tried to call my local DAAD. Got a bit more information. I was told that they usually promise to announce the results end of March or early April, but the experience has shown that sometimes they release the result in the second half of April. But she thought that this week or next the results should be out. But I think this information is more for those who applied at DAAD Riga LV. It's killing me softly

I called DAAD Bonn. I was told to send message via portal, because this is the way to get straight contact with you program coordinator. When I asked about when all the results will be released, then she answered that she don't know and there's no list of when and what program results are announced. In conclusion, totally pointless call.

I think that number what is on DAAD Bonn facebook page : +49 228 8820

Of course, I'll ask them

Just another day without results... If there's no results tomorrow afternoon, then I'll call them (Bonn). Horb, if you hear something from them, please let me know
