brokecollegegrad Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 I am filing a lawsuit for mental damages...
crthrasher Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 This is a notice that comes up on the portal now: "The Portal will be under construction and not available for users between 8 am and 8.30 am on the 1th of April 2015. Please ensure that all your data is saved online or stored on your computer prior to this date. We appreciate your patience and cooperation! To compensate for technical problems in the past couple of days the application deadline for personal funding applications which ends on March 31st will be extended to April 2nd." I'm wondering if maybe the technical problems have caused some overall delays in workflow?
Horb Posted March 31, 2015 Author Posted March 31, 2015 I heard on the germany end they did some major restructuring. I'm going to just assume next week
AntarK Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Results are in guys. Myoung (sp?) from DAADNY is sending out responses now. Didn't get in , but giving a heads up anyways. Your banter proved highly entertaining.
Horb Posted March 31, 2015 Author Posted March 31, 2015 I'm not ready. I take it all back viggosloof28 1
crthrasher Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Thanks for the heads up AntarK...sorry you didn't get it!! Oh my god. I haven't gotten anything...I hope that's a good sign! So much suspense...
viggosloof28 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Sorry to hear you didn't get it, AntarK, but thanks for the heads-up! I hope something even better is waiting for you just around the corner!
AntarK Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 No problem. Good luck. This is the second attempt @ the DAAD Study Scholarship for me. As soon as I saw the subj. header, I said, "uh oh." Then I started reading it: " March 31, 2015 Dear Antar Keith, I am writing today with the results of the 2015-2016 DAAD Graduate Scholarship for Study and/or Research in Germany competition." Here, I started to temper my feelings of anticipation.. By the time I got here, I knew it was all over: "Your application has been carefully reviewed by an independent selection committee convened for the purpose. " Anywho, I feel that such emails should state right up front with a Congratulations if you win it. But, blah, these are just the meanderings of someone who applied for it, completely forgot about it for months on end in the midst of other applications, then returned to it randomly again.
AntarK Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Thank you, viggo. Stay strong, you guys. It's all up in the air at this point. viggosloof28 1
umamam Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 It's here!!!!!!!!!!!! I never been so relieved to be REJECTED, haha! I guess I'll be taking the other fellowship I was offered and not checking my email like a crazy person anymore. The letter came at 10:45 EST from NY. Good luck, all!
jdawg12 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 So who all received funding? I'm about 30 minutes away from boarding the plane and saw that they had emailed!
viggosloof28 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Looks like they might be sending out rejections first? A couple of friends in my program received rejection notices within the last hour.
Horb Posted March 31, 2015 Author Posted March 31, 2015 Oh god. I haven't heard anything yet. I'm terrified. Good luck guys! And sorry to those who were rejected.
zadigblue Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Didn't get it - but I suspected that anyway, with my status on the portal a few weeks ago. The email specifically cited "a large increase in the number of applications this year"... I was concerned that the odds might be worse this year after all the press about "free" university in Germany so that's unsurprising. Still, very frustrating. :/
Horb Posted March 31, 2015 Author Posted March 31, 2015 jdawg, did you get funding/the scholarship????
jdawg12 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Yeah, I received the grant... I wonder if it's alphabetic or something? I'm surprised they didn't send out all at the same time... umamam 1
Horb Posted March 31, 2015 Author Posted March 31, 2015 I'm hoping my grant is released today but at the same time....
Horb Posted March 31, 2015 Author Posted March 31, 2015 Nushy, did you apply from the US? It could be only US applicants are finding out today.
Nushy Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Nushy, did you apply from the US? It could be only US applicants are finding out today. No, I guess I have to wait a little bit longer then... Good luck everyone! !!!
jdawg12 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Got my email - I GOT IT!!!!! Congratulations!!!!!
