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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But maybe thats just me. :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

anfisa Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 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!

So I dont know how it will go. I have Been asking the admissions in charge, but they are not addressing my query. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
