    somethinglike got a reaction from Nabin in DAAD SCHOLARSHIP 2018-2019   
    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!!!

    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?!

    Yes I'm a USA applicant. It seems like DAAD NYC is being slow!

    I called DAAD New York today regarding the graduate scholarship for all applicant and they told me to wait until end of March or beginning of April at the latest. They said they are waiting on a quote (I think they meant the budget for this year) from the head office in Bonn.

    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...
