Hey David, I also applied from Colombia for the 1-year PhD research stay. I do not think we are in trouble as the answers from the DAAD have been for other different programs / scholarships. I am confident we will get our answer soon. How did your interview went?
WOW, at least mine has the "selection made" status. Well, I guess we will have to wait until February I guess..... I was expecting a nice Christmas present from the DAAD but it looks it won't happen.
No, I also applied for DAAD research grants (1 year) and portal has been on "selection made" for almost 1 month I guess. No word or email from them yet. I had my interview in October 23.
