Hey, guys. Still trying to figure out what to do, but will definitely try DAAD's scholarship again. Wanted to know from you that got the scholarship: which things would you say that contributed to be selected? Any advice on the motivation letter and the CV? Any comments regarding the application? Hugs! ✨

It is the end of the road for me, guys ? Just received my rejection letter. Hope you guys find some good news! Will be cheering for you.

No change here ? I even dreamt today that I was telling my family that I got accepted. Let's see if this turns out to be true. Haha.

No problem. Hope you can get it! Keep us posted ?

Are you trying the Master of All Disciplines? I guess this delay is because DAAD didn't release the results yet for some parts of Europe. Maybe you will only hear from them in July or later. All the processes are very slow at the moment.

Apparently our offices sent them the reply some time ago. My country office said that my results should be expected in May (so they sent around this time).

Same. Nothing changed yet - "paper copies received".

Let's see if we are in the right 2 weeks.

I hope so! Then, when our results come out, you can comfort us or celebrate with us. Haha

Hey, Sofia, same boat. Do you know anyone that was called for an interview, if we really have an interview? Do you know other people that applied as well? From the data of last years, I didn't see many scholarship holders from Portugal.

OW! THAT IS INSANE. Congratulations! That is exciting. Our guru is going to Germany, guys. Haha ? But, no, seriously, congrats. You totally deserve it.

Hopefully Osnabrück or Nuremberg ✨

Oh, Cam, thank you so much. I just saw your notification on my phone. Glad that you remembered me! And I think good things are coming, despite all of this. Hopefully everybody here receives a good sign. And that we meet in Germany for a cup of coffee

Guide us, @Cami31. Rumors say our anxiety is tired.

Congratulations to those of you that got admitted! Hoping to feel the same excitement soon ? You deserve it after this long wait and hardwork. Ah, also a doubt popped up. As I filled my top 3 choices of Masters' programs last year, and didn't know I was going to find a problem with one of those choices, I was wondering how I can tell DAAD that I want to change one university there. This is due to one specific document that this German university requests, and, when talking with my university's coordinator about it this year, they said they can't prepare it until the deadline.

I applied! Still the same status as you. I asked the Embassy and they said that results are usually published in May, but everything is up to the DAAD office in Bonn.

As far as I know, people who had interviews had them in the beginning of April - the latest. And they had their status as "pre-selection made". So I guess it is alright for you. The Western-Southern section/bureau doesn't ask for interviews, from the comments I've seen. So "selection made" means that your results will come soon. Hopefully for everybody still waiting we can hear some good news in the next days! ?

What was your status before? "Selection made"?

Still waiting here. Think that middle of May would be more realistic for me. But I only applied to one university so far (that didn't need uni-assist). The others I will wait until middle of May to get an updated document that my university needs to send.

Yes, I was also thinking that was a bug, as we are still applicants and maybe we are not allowed to go to this section until we get our results...

I noticed I have this "consent processing medical data" but nothing about bank statement. I also don't know if all applicants have that since the start, because I didn't observed the options I had in the portal. Also, when I click on the Insurance tab now, it says: "You are or have already been insured by the DAAD. Please contact the insurance department to change your insurance-related data, extend or take out a new insurance policy". You guys also have something like that? So far no change in the status - still "paper copies received" ?

Someone from the section Western, Northern and Southern Europe received something? Changes in the portal or any sign of hope?

Same reply I got. I guess May is the month for us, guys. Let April rest.

437 people applying just from your country? ? Here the DAAD scholarships are not that known. Just met one person that applied, and look that I participate in some groups around the internet relating to that.
