USA applicant here for Study Scholarships for Graduates of All Disciplines- my status changed to rejected and I had a letter in the DAAD Portal. Here's some info from my message: "The Selection Committee had to decide between 379 applications and was able to award 65 scholarships." That's about a 17% success rate. Of course I'm disappointed, but it was much, much more competitive than I expected, so I'm trying not to beat myself up about it. I didn't go to a prestigious college, and it looks like most of the winners from previous years did. On the bright side, I've already been accepted to my top choice Master's program in Germany! I'll be going anyway and funding it myself. I've already applied for a dorm with the Studierendenwerk and everything, so I'm trying not to let this get me down. For other USA applicants who's status is "Selection Made"-- viel glück!!!

I'm guessing the rest of the world already received their results, and still no news for the USA. But I did have a dream last night that I was rejected by DAAD. In my dream, the reviewer took off 100 points because I missed an apostrophe in my motivation statement There were also notes in the margin where the reviewer was making fun of the things I wrote. Brutal.

Just called. They haven't had an update since mid-March (not sure what that means), but results will probably come out by the end of March since they're a couple weeks delayed.

Any idea how long the delay will be? Days, weeks, months?!
-
I'm a USA applicant - no news or changes at all in the Portal.

Good to know, thanks! Now maybe I will stop checking the DAAD Portal every hour.

Yes I'm a USA applicant. It seems like DAAD NYC is being slow!
-
Soon I hope. My status hasn't changed at all so I'm fearing the worst
-
Should the funding period need to change in order to be accepted? I put my funding period as 1.10.2018 to 30.9.2020 and I wouldn't expect them to change it because it's correct already...

I got into the University of Stuttgart (Germany) today for an MS program in engineering. -
Congratulations! I've been checking the DAAD Portal everyday and no change for me yet.

Me too; I got it about 2 months after I submitted it.

I applied for a study scholarship for an MS. I'm in the USA. After I submitted my application, I got this message, "A funding decision will be made at the selection meeting in March 2018 on the basis of the submitted documents. We will inform you of the outcome as a rule approximately within three weeks after the meeting in writing." So I'll have to wait for another month or so. I'm so anxious.
