Jenzler Posted April 6, 2018 Posted April 6, 2018 Congrats to those who have changed to funding! Mine still says Selection Made, so I'm getting nervous now... ?
Lentiful Posted April 6, 2018 Posted April 6, 2018 2 hours ago, Sasquatchfrails said: Hi there! For USA applicants whose status changed to Funding today, have you received an email or a new document in the portal with any more information? My status changed to Funding (yay!) however where is lists the study dates and target institution it also says Doctoral Candidate, which I am not. I am applying as an MA student (and I checked mt application again and that was absolutely clear). So I am nervous that the change to Funding is an error.... no email or confirmation. but mine does say "graduates" and i do have a declaration of acceptance on the side as well in order to accept my decision.

In the e-mail they just said that along with the scholarship I also got a two month language course in Berlin

MicTric Posted April 9, 2018 Posted April 9, 2018 Still application submitted here. Now, after months of waiting, I can understand how some people become serial killers. They were daad applicants waiting for an answer. Abadan, Lentiful, MohNour and 1 other 2 2

It's only been like 4 days, but I am already sick of "selection made." Lol. I feel like it would just be so much nicer if they updated the info for everyone the same day. Abadan and Lentiful 2
Lentiful Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 I don't know if this helps or hurts but I spoke with my schools advisor and he said when you are on "selection made" for a longer period of time it usually means that you "didn't make the first cut" and they are waiting for people to either accept/decline the award then they start taking the next people on the list as spots free up. I can't say that this is actually whats happening- the internal workings of DAAD are a mystery to everyone.

If so, you’d think they’d move quicker on sharing award details so people could accept or decline. But then, the portal is like going back more than a decade in Internet design history.

That's kind of what I was thinking, so even though it isn't necessarily good news, it's nice to have some idea of what is happening. My status actually went blank at some point yesterday, so I guess that means it might be updated soon. Fingers crossed! And thanks for the info
Jenzler Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 My status just changed to funding! Those who are still waiting, there is hope! TakeMyCoffeeBlack, MohNour, Sasquatchfrails and 2 others 2 3

Lentiful Posted April 11, 2018 Posted April 11, 2018 Guys once this is all over and we are all settled in our schools, apartments, ect. i think it would be so cool if we could all meet up somewhere in Germany in the Fall. I kind of want to make some sort of Facebook group or something to keep us all together? Thoughts? pantsbear 1
