That is a good plan B ? I have a similar plan to take a few days off and do nothing and just mourn properly for the loss of scholarship?

Hi Daria, that is good news?, I am happy for you. Mine is still paper copies received though ? yes you are right we shouldn't be stressed out about this scholarship but honestly it's a really hard task especially for me?. I hope that this year will be different for you.

Hello. I'm from Iran and you? No, unfortunately I have no information in regards to that. I have tried so much to find the number of applicants and awardees from previous year but I was unsuccessful. the only way to know is through asking previous years applicants since in their results letter number of awardees and applicants have been mentioned. the only thing that I am quite sure about is that the number of applicants are high thus the competition becomes more difficult?. and I read somewhere that each year every country would have a limited number of possible awardees. this number changes annually based on different factors. for example if for one reason Iran could have 10 awardees last year, this could change to 5 this year. but honestly I am not sure about it. but please if you could find any information share them here as well. I wish you lots of luck!

It was September the 30th, and yours?

mine is still paper copies received? and I check it on a daily basis?. I just wish that they would tell the results sooner so that this frustrating wait would be over. yes the architecture program had asked for portfolios as well. I wish you lots of luck.

Hello, thank you for sharing your update. Had you applied for all disciplines programs or postgraduate studies in the field of architecture?

I am so sorry?

Hello Daria, Thank you for your response. Yes I know that number of applicants that you mentioned were only for your category of application. it means that the success rate was something around 8 percent, which is insanely low! I hope that they will increase the number of awards for all categories this year?

Hello Daria I wish you lots of luck with your application. I have a question. Did DAAD tell you how many people had applied and how many actually won in your scholarship category, last year?

Hello, mine still is "paper copies received" and it has been like this for the past 5 months. I still have no idea what this paper copies thing means?

Well I called the local DAAD in my country and they told me that architecture scholarship doesn't require interviews and they will instead review our portfolios. I think that this also applies to programs such as Fine Arts/Design just as you mentioned it yourself. but ironically I wish that these programs also had interviews so that if we didn't get invited for them, we would know that we haven't been selected in advance. the waiting time is really painful ?.

Hi, thank u for creating this topic. I have applied for DAAD's architecture postgraduate programs. I was wondering if there will be interviews for this specific program or not, since from what I read on previous topics related to last year, certain programs such as architecture, music or film just asked applicants to upload their portfolio and there was no talk about interviews.
