I think that result its different compared even with other master, bc is an EPOS scholarship, and basically it depends of the program that you're applying and everything is direct with the university. I hope to heard something about the DAAD this week.
Application submitted is when you send your application on line, paper copies received is when the hard copies sent by post arrive to Germany, so is the next step...
No, but if you do not enter to any university, you would lose the scholarship. So you have to try to find other programs that suits you and that still have open registrations for the semester 2018/2019
