Or some other great country Yeah I assume everything is different from one country to the other, cause for what I know all Italians who have applied for the Master all disciplines are still at "Application submitted". I was just wondering if the person who received this update in Italy had actually been asking them for information, or if the Italian DAAD sends update emails only to some of us ?

Ohh ok hahah it makes sense. Well I'm just hoping to get the rejection letter ASAP at this point, since apparently anyone who wasn't invited to the interview is out?

For sure! And considering that nobody in this forum was selected for the interview, I had even started to think they were not actually interviewing anybody. But then I found a girl on Facebook (from Italy and for the same scholarship) who wrote that she was invited to the interview in the beginning of April, so I guess they just ditched us and they don't give a crap about telling us earlier hahaha Sara13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara13 Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Hey! I sent an email asking about how is it that some people are still at initial stages while others have already been to an interview and they replied this "Due to the corona pandemic, many processes have been delayed. This also applies to the final selection round for the long-term scholarships. We hope to be able to give the final feedback within the next few weeks to all the applicants. Therefore, I would like to ask for a little more patience and hope, that this doesn't cause any inconveniences. " I'm honestly not sure what that means, because I think it is definitively too late for an interview at this point av9ha6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valyti Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Good morning everyone! So today I was panicking because I have seen in here that many people had an interview, but I didn't. I contacted the regional daad office in Rome and they said that there will be no interviews for PhD short term grants... which made me feel *slightly* better. I assume the interviews were only held for Masters scholarships and some specific PhD programs? Cam31, Wario and av9ha6 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For MA applicants there is, and I guess also for the ones who are going for a full PhD program to Germany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume the interviews were only held for Masters scholarships and some specific PhD programs? That is what I was thinking as well. It makes sense in my opinion, after all if you can apply for a PhD scolarship it means that you have already gone through a selection process (in this case by the PhD supervisor). They probably focus their already short time on selecting the masters students. So, I will stay positive. Of course, it would be better to have the results now, though.

" I'm honestly not sure what that means, because I think it is definitively too late for an interview at this point Hi, I am also from Italy and I applied for the MSc all disciplines scholarship. I received the invitation email for interview on 1st of April and did the interview on 29th of April. I also know other 2 guys that applied for the same scholarship and did the Interview in the same days. Unfortunately, I believe that passing through the pre-selection (and the interview) is a requirement to get the scholarship for Italian candidates. The interview was only 15 minutes so probably they did a huge selection before and interviewing was just a kind of confirm to get the scholarship (also because in 15 minutes you cannot tell a lot about yourself). But I still hope for you that maybe the interview was not required for everyone, even though the regulations clearly state it. Let's wait for results and see...

Yeah, I know, I'm from Spain and my status changed to 'paper copies received' very recently (like less than 2 weeks ago). And I actually asked them if I should consider myself out by this point without the interview, and this is the reply I got, so I really don't know.

Thank you! I am not conviced at all about how the interview went though? There were 3 Italian professors and 1 from the DAAD, and one of the professors was very rude since the beginning. I hope it was just a strategy to test my personality or something like that ahah otherwise I can't explain why he was so rude and aggressive. Did any of you had the same experience with the interview? Edited June 10, 2021 by MagicBox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
