Horb Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 I had a dream last night that I didn't get it, so I'm assuming that is somehow a prediction of the future. Thus, I'm on to planning alternate summer plans. And eating chocolate. Because chocolate solves all my problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
germanhistory Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Chocolate IS good for that.. I have no idea whether I'll get it or not. One interesting thing though: after I turned in my application, I got a couple of emails from DAAD. One was telling me that they needed a letter from my current university confirming I'm a student, and then they told me that the options I picked wouldn't work out and that I needed to select different ones. I can't decide if it's a good sign that they let me fix my application, like maybe they thought it was really good, or maybe they're just nice people who were willing to help instead of just throwing out my app. Or, maybe the whole thing will just count against me. Who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nushy Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I have been eating lots of chocolate too... I think you might hear the result for intensive language course in the middle of this month that is from what I have read in last year forum... Horb..just keep smile more!!!!

Horb Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 I emailed about the intensive language one and they said end of march/early april. Two years ago, they heard March 1st, so I'm hopeful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
germanhistory Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I think it's kind of all over the place; I saw from a couple years ago that they found about the intensive language course in mid-March. Obviously we're past that point now, but I don't think I can wait until the middle of April! haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horb Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 I'm just saying, if they told me end of march/beginning of april, it should be this week or next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
germanhistory Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Great! I didn't see your post when I wrote my last comment. I guess it'll be next week for sure then, if that's what they told you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horb Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 Oh no worries! I mean, I'm sure it is possible that they fall behind, but I hope they don't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horb Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 Oh! And to make matters worse: last year, someone got an email at 4.16pm. . . EST. . . guess we do have all day to wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
germanhistory Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Ugh.. well, I guess I sit in front of the computer all day anyway, if I'm being honest with myself... Time to just keep refreshing that email! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cembalo0418 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Hi all, I've been observing this forum for a while...and I also applied for the intense language grant. I just saw on Facebook that the DAAD office is closed today in observance of Good Friday, so I think we should stop checking e-mails until Monday. germanhistory and Horb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horb Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 Why is it closed?!?!?! Nothing closes for Good Friday in the US. NOTHING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horb Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 Really? Maybe it is just where I'm from. Either way: hopefully next week! I guess I'll get back to reading and final papers. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
germanhistory Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 That's good to know! I guess I'll stop checking my email and hope for Monday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatheAristi Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Guys! just for your information in Germany today friday and next monday are hollydays and they don't work. Damis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damis Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Yep. Monday is also an off day and good luck getting anything from anyone on a Tuesday. Just so ya'll know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horb Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 I'm a little confused. Do they have set release dates? Looking through past forums, it seems that they do it any day of the week (though if Monday is a holiday in Germany, they may close the office in the US).

jdawg12 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Wow Horb, I'm still pulling for you! I thought for sure you guys would have results before Easter Horb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horb Posted April 5, 2015 Author Share Posted April 5, 2015 It's ok! At least I'm not alone in the wait! Hopefully all three of us get good news next week. Even if it's a rejection for me, I'll be happy to just know at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
germanhistory Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Same! I just want to know for sure so I can make alternate summer plans if need be. Horb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horb Posted April 6, 2015 Author Share Posted April 6, 2015 Is it bad I'm checking the DAAD FB page like mad to see if they announce that they are closed today like they did friday?!?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
germanhistory Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Aaand they just announced it! I was doing the same thing. Sad day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horb Posted April 6, 2015 Author Share Posted April 6, 2015 Tomorrow it is. I think I finally stopped my incessant habit of email checking. So there's that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
germanhistory Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Haha, for me I guess old habits die hard, because I checked my email just as often as ever, even though I knew I wouldn't get anything. Then again, I was also procrastinating pretty hardcore, so there's that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
