Guys once this is all over and we are all settled in our schools, apartments, ect. i think it would be so cool if we could all meet up somewhere in Germany in the Fall. I kind of want to make some sort of Facebook group or something to keep us all together? Thoughts?  

Letter of award came! Check your emails!! Its officially official !

Mine too! We got same destination ?

Mine too! I guess we will meet there

mine is in marburg, i already received the accomodation information

Just checked mine again and it's changed to initial funding. I was getting worried someone was playing a mean trick on me!   

I think we got an acceptence email same time. Did u recieve letter of award from portal?

I got an email last week from DAAD India office that I got the scholarship I applied for. It seemed like a generic email. Was told that Bonn will take over further procedures. I can't believe it till I get the official letter! 
And am sure the decisions are still being made. They were very particular that we shdnt share results online. Guess some kind of wait lists is there.
 
Stay strong everyone.

If your status hasn't changed don't despair - I think it varies per country. I got an acceptance email last week and there is no change to my status in the portal. I asked the NZ rep and there is still two more weeks until the formal letters are being sent from Germany, so it seems they are still making decisions -- there is still hope! Sending best wishes to you all xx 

I was emailed a couple of hours ago

I'm in NZ, which, from DAAD correspondence is sorted into the Asia pacific region -- "Referat ST34 – Asien/Pazifik"
I found out in an email. It came so late at night, I had to check again this morning - now I'm obsessively re-reading the email as I can't believe it!
I hope you all find out soon!! Good luck!! I want to see you all at the language training in Germany. 

It's been a long 8 days..

Oh shit - I got it! I found out literally 30m after my last post

No, no change in the portal beforehand. I've been on Application Submitted the whole time.

i'm in the same boat, need money to live. I'd be studying European Studies at Humboldt University in Berlin. I'm currently a European studies major with a minor in german. i'm interested in Germany's Open door policy and the migrant crisis in Europe. My future goal is to be an International Migration Lawyer. 

Haha! I'm so glad someone else is doing this too. Good luck! 

Thanks! So 2 weeks of obsessing then. Good luck everyone - may we all be blessed by the DAAD gods. 

It's March! At least it is in New Zealand. Back to obsessively checking my email I guess. 

I believe same for you too. Thanks so much for being positive. 

I also got that message after a couple of months. I was in contact with the New Zealand DAAD rep at the time and she said that was because they reject all of the applications that are missing documents, so that message is sent after it is established that the application is complete -- hence it taking a couple of months.
