Hey tjm, I haven't received any notification at all as a research applicant. Hopefully that was just the ETAs who got that email. My adviser tells me that letters were sent out from Germany last Tuesday. So should be any time now. Good luck. Godspeed. Over and out.
Yeah, I haven't heard anything from Germany yet either. I live in New York City so I would assume I'd find out pretty quickly after decisions are made. (That is, if letters are being mailed out from NY and not Germany) Maybe this week? Next week? Who knows....I'll keep ya posted if you do the same!
