Horb Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 Re: Funding --> I think they allot a certain amount per individual. So if you're program costs less, then you have more living expenses. I'm waiting to figure that part out though, because I don't want to end up owing the ticket cost and the majority of the other costs, though I think both of my programs were cheaper than 2300. But I guess I shouldn't worry until I find out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cgyoungblood Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I just called them and was told that they hope to have the results within the next week. Sounds like what they told Soprano last week... Hopefully they get the results before the end of the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
germanhistory Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Wow, that's so demoralizing. Yeah, I guess let's just hope to hear back before May... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cembalo0418 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 My teacher e-mailed them yesterday and got the same reply. I applied for Freiburg and Berlin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cgyoungblood Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Spin it in a positive way, the longer they wait the fewer people can take it, the greater the chances are for those who really want it? It'd be nice if it worked that way. I need to close off the space this is occupying in my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horb Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 Thank God I didn't originally apply for May/June like I initially wanted to do. Why it is taking so long is beyond me. You think they would have sorted us out before the people whose grants don't start until September/October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
germanhistory Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 For real though... I originally applied for programs that started in May, but then they emailed me at the end of December and said that all programs had to start after June 1st. I'm really grateful for that now, because that would suck otherwise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horb Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 Ugh. I'm really frustrated with this. Time to listen to some Die Prinzen and relax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cgyoungblood Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Re: Sep/Oct grants... Just speaking from my own experience but the graduate study grant application was an entirely different beast. The forms were much longer and I submittled about 4x the amount of materials as I did for the language intensive. They were also due about 5-6 weeks (depending on the field of study) earlier than the language grant app. I received notice for that one after about 4.5 months after submitting, so we're approaching a similar time frame here.

zabka Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 just got my rejection for the summer intensive. i applied for Berlin so not surprising. A question for other applicants: i applied for an 8 week course, but I've seen mention here of people only applying for 4 week courses? is that allowed? or did you apply for two 4-week courses? good luck to everyone! i was getting worried i would be unable to accept given the late date, but am also bummed. maybe next year!

Soprano714 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I'm with Horb. I haven't heard anything yet. So funny that they said next week and then immediately started sending out answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cembalo0418 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 It's from Uta Gaedeke. Maybe she's sending the notifications in alphabetical order? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

germanhistory Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Actually, that's probably a good sign. Don't they send out rejections before they do acceptances? Horb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soprano714 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I applied for München and Berlin. So two big ones. Which maybe was a bad choice...hopefully I will know soon. Horb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
germanhistory Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) In that case, Horb: you almost definitely didn't get it. (just trying to help suppress positive thoughts) Edited April 17, 2015 by germanhistory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
