xeviroth Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 5 hours ago, Huka said: Hi, I had also interview (in November 2018) and I've not heard nothing. For my current scholarship (for masters from DAAD) I had the interview in November 2017 and the DAAD office my home country let me know in December 2017 that they had selected me as a candidate and I would get the final decision in Febuar 2018 (at the end of march I got a letter of award and came to Germany in June. In October I started my master, which will be finished in September 2019. Now I'm waiting for the result of research grant scholarship). That's why I got extremely nervous and wrote to the office in my country last month, asking if we would get no status information this year. They answered "this year we don't inform you of nothing -in any case- till end of February. We're sorry but please just wait". Maybe it's only in our region but maybe global... Thanks Huka. I think it applies globally. Good to know that I am not the only one who never got any updates from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, I also noticed that the funding end date is changed. I dont know if it is have some significance. But, hopefully it is good sign. Because, I have not received any updates from them since last year. Wish you all the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allegoriya Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 No changes in the funding dates, no info on the interview, still "Application submitted" status on the portal..... It seams that they forgot about the applicants from my country Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it’s not just a correction. With my experience from last year, It most likely means that you have been shortlisted. Most people who wrote about this last year were shortlisted.

Huka Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 (edited) 10 hours ago, Sayed Jalal said: No changes in dates. It means that I am not shortlisted? Hey no worries! You know, it depends on the section, which status or date you have on portal. The person(s) in charge of your program or your country -that means section in Bonn- and the person at the office in your country are authorized to see your portal and make some changes there, as far as I know. Maybe it's true those who have already the date till Sep. 2020 are shortlisted (I don't know it because my actual scholarship is for a year from the moment of my application), but possibly the person in charge of your program has not done it, because of any reason. Guys, status or date on portal is not so important. We receive an e-mail if there's an important change on our status and we've got a message. I understand too much that our anxiety leads us to the portal but we should not stress us unnecessarily through the updates that are possibly specific ones in other sections. I'm not saying we should not changing information but the receiver must be somehow relaxed! Although I'm not relaxed...

Here! ive has the “paper copies received” for months now. I sent my portfolio and letter of recommendation quite in advance before the deadline. im trying to keep my expectations low though since I applied while already having a letter of acceptance. Anyway, nothing has changed...no email, nothing. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
