DAAD 2018-2019

[Art21]

Just got the rejection letter, was nice hoping for it, I just wish they didn't keep me dragged like this for 5 months now. hahah They said they had about 315 applicants and 35 can be accepted. (For those who are curious it was the Masters Funding for Architecture 2018/19 Program) Anyway, I wish they could give a more specific reason as to why I got rejected, but well...anw

Good luck to everyone else, hopefully you recieve more encouraging results ^^

It was preselection made then changed to rejection...I think they send rejections before the interview and keep and handful of people for the interviews afterwards :p.... I am curious as to how they decide who is better and who not. They keep saying to not get discouraged, but there is no worse discouragement than this. Maybe rejections from uni will feel worse, who knows.
Anw I got my toefl results today and I scored 111...lol at least a good news.

Yes I also would like to know how exactly they evaluate the applications ! They say they award "points" on the individual parts of an application... but what makes some people get a higher score than others ... i doubt it's only the grades

I think the impression your applications gives off plays a role too, and maybe the letter of motivation. :| I consider that as insufficient and too judgemental if the letter of motivation plays the biggest role. But maybe thats just me. :|

Would be worse when you win the scholarship and then don't get admitted in any university. :| I am wondering whether I'll get admitted to any uni since the german language requirements are so devastating for my subject of study. I can't find anyone to consult about this either T^T

Has anyone here already got admitted in any uni yet? In my case I can't start the admission process until June.

Hi everybody!

For the ones that applied through the US office, I gave them a call today to ask about the status of my application. I got rejected but encouraged to apply in the next term. Oh well...

I was also told that they will start sending out emails regarding the decisions next week. Good luck!

Hey fpc,

I applied for the short term research grant. I wonder all decisions are sent out more or less around the same time, since the school terms in Germany start in October. I had applied to DAAD like 8 years ago for my masters and I got a response around May - but that was when I applied not from the US.

Hope this helps!

I guess you are now a step away for funding. Good luck. Where did you apply from?

No. My targeted Univ is RWTH Aachen. And the application for the Oct semester starts only on June 1st. So I dont know how it will go. I have Been asking the admissions in charge, but they are not addressing my query.
