Caelryck Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) Hi yeskay, I was admitted to Hertie MIA 2015 too, but had to apply for DAAD funding before October last year (the deadline), even though I didn't know then if Hertie would admit me. That round of funding is for potentially my whole degree. If you have not yet applied, DAAD can still offer you funding during your second study year only, if you apply this year before October.

Horb Posted March 19, 2015 Author Posted March 19, 2015 Is it bad I'm still hoping for this week? I was told to expect a decision by the end of March. . . but maybe they will surprise us with news today?
jdawg12 Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Hi there! I'm waiting on the DAAD grant as well and the suspense is killing me. I know it doesn't help to compulsively check the DAAD Portal, but ugh. They should have a support group for this. Hoping to hear something soon!!
Horb Posted March 19, 2015 Author Posted March 19, 2015 I wish I had a portal to check! Though then I'd be constantly refreshing this forum and that >.<
jdawg12 Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Hope you get it! Doing an intensive language course in Germany would be a great experience -- I would love to do the same thing in France, but so far I haven't found comparable programs to the DAAD. Do you know which city you would be in?
Horb Posted March 19, 2015 Author Posted March 19, 2015 I applied for Marburg and Bonn (I'm hoping Marburg). I really would like to find out by the 27th, but we will see! Otherwise I might just take a job opportunity and apply again next year. Where are you hoping to study? I also looked for something in France (I need to learn French for my degree) and I couldn't find anything. If I do in my continued search efforts, I'll be sure to tell you.
jdawg12 Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Hey! I lived in Marburg for a year on a Fulbright grant. If you get it, let me know and I can give you some tips on restaurants, cafés, etc.
Horb Posted March 19, 2015 Author Posted March 19, 2015 That is amazing! I'm looking to apply for a Fulbright once I finish my MA. I'm debating between the UK and Germany.
jdawg12 Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Ooops sent that off too early! I'm currently in my first year of a M.Sc. in Politics, Economics and Philosophy in Hamburg... Still have another year to go and would love some DAAD funding
Horb Posted March 19, 2015 Author Posted March 19, 2015 I've never been to Hamburg! I studied in Tübingen as an undergrad and loved it. But I found I became a bit rusty when not constantly surrounded by German, so I'm hoping to take some more german courses when I return from Marburg (assuming I get it). How do you like your program of study?
jdawg12 Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 To be honest, the program is a lot more economics than it is politics and philosophy -- that can be good or bad depending on your preferences. Personally, I was a bit surprised to be handing in problem sets with mathematical proofs. Hopefully the next few semesters will be less econ focused.
brokecollegegrad Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Looks like we wont get anything this week
Horb Posted March 20, 2015 Author Posted March 20, 2015 Gonna keep panicking then for another week Unless something happens between now and 5pm.
Caelryck Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 (edited) Bummer. Just got a rejection email! I thought I was fairly strong. Good luck to you guys. My profile: Applied for DAAD Study Scholarship, have done a 3 year undergrad in political science (University of Queensland, Australia), master's summer school at Oxford University in UK, 1 year assistant teaching in Germany. Admitted to Hertie School of Governance, an elite private university in Berlin. (Btw, my application status now says "selection made". So that doesn't mean acceptance.)

brokecollegegrad Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Aw men sorry to hear that Caelryck...wow your Profile seems really qualified....much better than mine...My chances are not looking very good if someone like you didnt get it. Oh well...
Caelryck Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Everyone's different, I guess I just wasn't what they were looking for this time. Horb, DAAD Australia just said they got approval from Bonn to email me.
Horb Posted March 21, 2015 Author Posted March 21, 2015 It's a bummer you didn't get it. I hope an even better opportunity comes your way!
viggosloof28 Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Man, I'm sorry, Caelryck! I hope something even better turns up for you, though!
Caelryck Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Thanks Horb, viggosloof28. I know something better will come. Not giving up just yet.
brokecollegegrad Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 But arent you already in Germany Caelryck? and working as a TA? Couldn't you still assist the Masters that you already got accepted into and find a TA job there to finance it? virmundi and umamam 1 1
Caelryck Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) Yes I am, another English teaching assistant job is maybe possible, and this could help finance living costs (at best). But you can't choose a placement, and my school has recommended not working during the degree due to its intensive nature. Not sure yet. Edited March 21, 2015 by Caelryck virmundi and umamam 2
viggosloof28 Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 What do we think, US applicants? Is this the week we find out?
