Hello there! I have applied for Master Studies of All Disciplines grant. Yesterday I noticed that my status changed to 'paper copies received'. Back to obsessively checking my mail again, I guess ?

Hello, fellow applicants! Tha GradCafe has a limit of just five people in a group conversation, so right now we are thinking about the alternatve, like WhatsApp or Telegram. If you have the best option on mind, you are free to start a group chat somewhere and invite all of us yourself?

any one here to confirm the email is true or fake ( donotreply@daad.de)

As far as I can tell that is legitimate, I received a similar one to confirm my application had gone through. Mine was in English but the wording looks the same.

Hi everyone, 

Yesterday my status changed to preselection made. However, I did not receive any email from DAAD yet.

What does it mean?

Is it sure that i will be invited to the second round?

 

Thank you for your answers.

Hi,

I'm not 100% sure, but mine also did, and so did for a few of my friends and we all got an invitation, 5-6 days later. So it may be :) good luck!

Hello everyone! I see a lot of people are freaking out up here. This is the third time I am applying for DAAD PhD Grant so I suppose I have some experience. There are few things that some of you should probably take note of; 

1. 'Selection Made' and 'Pre-Selection Made' means nothing. This is how the steps work. Application Submitted then to Selection/Pre-Selection Made then to two options, either Funding or Application Rejected. Sometimes, it moves straight from Application Submitted to either Funding or Application Rejected WITHOUT seeing 'Selection/Pre-Selection Made'. Others may not even see a response on that section where 'Application Submitted' is for days. 

2. There is no need to panic especially at this time. 70 to 80% of the selection meeting will be done in Bonn in the first week of February. After that it takes several weeks, sometimes months for them to key in responses to all applicants. You can imagine, as a result of the number of application they receive in a year, require them to do a lot of work. Sometimes there are a whole lot of bureaucracy that needs to go along too (The father of Bureaucracy (Max Weber) is a German you know) including sending the results to your home country etc. 

3. Each and everyone of us is well qualified for a scholarship and its probably not an easy task deciding on as many qualified applicants as this one. Last year (or so) and guy was so pissed off for being rejected he started accusing DAAD of racism and all those stuff. It wasn't healthy. In order to prevent a complete breakdown I suggest you look for other options JUST IN CASE. If you are really interested in studying in Germany, you could look for other options in the form of scholarships from other foundations, own funding etc. That will help BELIEVE ME!. We are all gonna get a response but it will take some time. 

5. I wish all of us the very best of luck.

Those (Indians) who had applied for the bi-nationally supervised doctoral program, have you received any email regarding selection or rejection for the next round i.e. the interviews which are supposed to be held by the end of this month??
