Oh I am sorry for your girlfriend, did you apply for the same scholarship too?!....seems like they are right into the middle of the selection spree at the moment. I hope they give the results before February ends.

Is your status "selection made" or "preselection made"?! Because mine is the latter.

Edit: I do not quite understand the procedure behind these two statuses...what is the difference and why do so applicants have one statues while others have the other status?!

That could a good sign, couldn't it? I mean if it means they send out rejections first and after that the acceptances? But again really no clue

I've applied Scholarships for Graduates of All Disciplines in Computer Science and my status is "Selection Made" (for more than a month now as I've mentioned before). My interview was on 5th of december. Probably don't know what is the procedure of the selection, so I am patiently waiting for result.

Oh, then it means that you are in the end stage of the selections! Because as I understood up till now it goes Preselection made>> Interview>> Selection made>> Funding or Rejection.

I'm applying from Brazil and there is no interview for us... I hope it doesn't take much longer because they said three weeks maximum after the committee meeting

Good luck! Are you admitted or did you apply in any german uni yet?! I am a bit confused with their language proficiency requirements. first I thought for architecture they require Goethe-Institut C1, but now I just discovered they require another test called DSH-2 (Deutsche Sprachpruefung fuer den Hochschulzugang), is mandatory...  I am getting anxious whether that second test makes us lose the opportunity (if won).

[ArielPV]

Good luck to you too! I didn't finish applying yet, but i'm definitely not doing anything in german. I'm only a B1 as of now.

Oh, but if we do not get admitted until 1st Oct, don't we lose the scholarship?! and C1 is mandatory in german universities.

It went okay, I guess. Except for a few awkward questions. My panel had a German Prof from RWTH Aachen ( coincidentally the Univ I have applied to) and an India Prof from Delhi University and a DAAD India representative. The minute I sat down, the German Prof asked me "Why Prof. Beetz and how did you get to know him?" That was easy to answer. Then "Tell us about your research experience". And why this particular topic. And why Germany and RWTH. I felt I answered them quite well.

 

And then the awkward part started: "why can't we have computer science do what you are trying to do." (My area is an intersection of comp science + construction mgmt). I tried my best to explain why its better have multidisciplinary approach. But he didn't show any sign of having understood my words. Then some weird questions about my high school (which is a bit famous) and its founders and if I know them well. ( I did, but the Indian prof had a different idea of who its founders were and took time to argue with me..Was saved by the DAAD rep who diverted the topic) And finally, "do you know any German." The german prof spoke in german for a bit before I could even say that I have not yet learnt and when I told him I did not know that much, just the basics of greeting, they had a good laugh. I ended up coming out thinking, " WTF happened!! It started so well, and then wooosh...went 10 feet under.."
