Has anyone heard about Special Programs yet?

Hello, I know this is a late response to this topic, but I'm wondering if you remember what statistic questions were asked during your interview? I have my interview for this year's cycle tomorrow and it has been several years since I've taken a stats class. Thanks!

Yes, but we were only required to have a "novice" level of German. Which all in all is pretty low. If you are looking for German classes, I recommend the Goethe Institut. They have fairly small classes and have offices all around the country/world and are internationally recognized. Otherwise you should try to find a private tutor. Though many master degree programs are taught in English in Germany, depending on the city where you are, you'll want to be able to converse a little (if you are studying in Berlin though I wouldn't bother, nearly everyone speaks English). English is most often compulsory in the education system and usually they begin learning it at age 10. Though if you do know at least Standard German it opens you up to a more diverse group of people and your cultural experience will be a lot richer.

Did you get an interview?

Last year they notified on March 23rd or something. I'm guessing they'll notify us near March 30th because that seems to be the pattern, based on the administration. Look at the XL sheet. It can help you predict. I'm also waiting for a Study/Research to Germany.

Whoops

Has no one received word yet? Ugh this is agonizing.

I sent you a private message!! =)

Not semi-finalist to the Dominican Republic (semi-finalist Germany), but was in the Peace Corps there. So I'm interested in what you're planning on doing =).

Hey all, I'm wondering if anyone has ever received a Study/Research Grant for Germany? I'm a semi-finalist and while I'm wondering when final notifications have typically gone out in the past (I've heard March 24th was last year's), I'm also wondering what amount the grant usually is? My host city will be Munich. The living costs there are pretty steep compared to other parts of Germany, and finding affordable housing isn't easy. Thanks all =) and good luck to everyone!
