aynrand Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 My status hasn't changed at all. It's still "Application Submitted."
x\/x\/x Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 same here, perhaps they've just worked through the summer language course applications first? Despite the fact that their deadline was a month later than the Graduate Research one Sending good luck vibes to everyone, of course!

But I hope we all hear soon.
Horb Posted March 9, 2016 Author Posted March 9, 2016 I don't suppose anyone who had a status change emailed to ask about timeline for hearing back?

I applied for the study scholarship though so maybe it has something to do with the rollout. The suspense is too much!!!
Horb Posted March 10, 2016 Author Posted March 10, 2016 So I went through past forums. It seems like it was usually 1 week after the status change that people heard. I'm not sure when mine changed, but I also know results usually post on Fridays (at least, that has been my experience). Here's to hoping this Friday or next!
aynrand Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 Good luck, Horb! Good luck to all of us! Still no change in my application status. Horb 1

I hope we all here back soon. I often feel like that wait is worse than the feeling of a negative result. Drawn out anxiety verses instant blow.
kunstkid Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Another anxious intensive language grant applicant here. I am so happy to have found this forum after discovering today that my status has changed (when? who knows...still can't understand why they don't send out e-mail notifications!) to "selection made." Has anyone worked up the nerve to e-mail them about a timeline? Or heard anything more?

But they are really nice and respond fairly quickly. You can also call them, which allows for a bit more anonymity as you don't have to give your name.
Gibery Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Hello! i'm also happy to find this forums! Been checking for updates here the last days! My status changed to "selection made" the past friday... i called to DAAD in my country and they told me that this week they release the results between yesterday and today... (i'm still waiting.. hopeless :c ) Also I got some mates that already received the reject email.. so i'm torn about my feelings, not knowing if waiting its good or bad, but you know, no news is good news, or lets hope so!

Gives some hope for the rest of us! also last year rejections and acceptances were sent out at the same time.
Gibery Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 I have applied for a Research Grant! i am already checking my mail/portal/forums every five minutes!!! THE anxiety!!!
Horb Posted March 11, 2016 Author Posted March 11, 2016 It was awful last year bc I was waiting after all the rejections (a few hours) before I got my rejection so I thought maybe I was accepted.
