carrot468 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Hello everyone. I applied for the regular DAAD scholarship in the postgraduate category. My status has been "paper copies received" since November. (I submitted everthing electronically; perhaps the Bonn office print out paper copies?) Yesterday I noticed it was changed to "preselection made". Based on past posts here on gradcafe, I feel this is indeed an early input. I don't check my application on a daily basis, thus being uncertain when exactly the last change took place. Hope that helps! nichtsehrgut and sarah96 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had you applied for all disciplines programs or postgraduate studies in the field of architecture? No, my discipline is music, and the postgraduate program I applied for is called 3rd-cycle. But I bet we are on the same boat for the interview part. It should mostly rely on the portfolio (in my case, performance videos.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 @sarah96I have applied for the same program! Where are you from? Any idea, how many applicants get awarded? or what's the acceptance rate of this program? I am starting to get a little worried here as well! but I do believe they probably will release the results around mid to late February. ? Let's hope for the best!

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! I am applying from Pakistan As far as I have heard, the rate of acceptance is about 10%. I do not really have a specific number though. It's correct that each country has got its own assessment calibre. I mean the selection criteria is surely the same, but the selection meeting is subdivided based on regions to somehow ensure fairly handpicked outcome. At least that's what I have got to know so far. My application status is still paper copies received though. We probably won't witness any change before mid to late February. Good luck to all of us nichtsehrgut and sarah96 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daria_Ts Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Hi guys, just want to share that my status changed to "Preselection made". The process is slowly going:) Also, it's important to remember that our lives are much more than any scholarship. Winning or not winning, it does not define us as persons and professionals. I'm trying to keep it in mind every time I check the status, because last year I was completely devastated after receiving a rejection letter, and I don't want to feel the same again. Even if they reject me this year too. nichtsehrgut, sarah96 and ijmrlv 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I believe "Preselection made" only means that they have all necessary documents to proceed, so it is only a question of time for you to get there too. I feel like it would be better to have a Plan B. So I planned a special vacation at the end of April, just in case I will need a place to moan and cry after rejection without my job disturbing it ? sarah96 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdrviana Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Hey guys! I messaged/called both responsables for the design/film/visual arts masters scholarships in Brazil and Germany, and they said our applications are being evaluated this present week in Germany, and the results will be available soon, later by the end of March. The wait won't be that long this year ? Good luck for us! ? Daria_Ts and nichtsehrgut 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
