DAAD Rise 2015

@ccgreen‌ glad to help! Keep us posted!

@h2p2017 Will do! Wish I could join you guys in Germany!

Congrats to everyone that got in already!

…damn im anxious…

@NicolleD‌ @h2p2017‌ Congratulations!!! I was accepted too. Just wondering - have you gotten a second email yet? (I think I’m just being too impatient waiting to get everything fully confirmed)

Congrats! I received one email from the program and I have also been coressponding with the PI

@bioavailability‌ thank you! Keeping my hopes up for you(: @ma8a23‌ thank you! Congrats to you as well(: I have not yet received a second email, but am assuming it will arrive the next business day. I also reached out to my graduate student.

Good luck to everyone else in this thread! I think there is still lots of time for more acceptances to be sent out :slight_smile: @NicolleD‌ @h2p2017‌ Thank you for your replies! I talked to the PhD student too, so it sounds like we’re all in the same boat! That’s a good point that they probably aren’t sending things on the weekend.

@h2p2017‌ Thanks! Yeah I mean I feel pretty strong about my application, just wish I can find out already. This is the first time I’m applying to the program. I really hope I get in with a scholarship too because If I don’t, there’s less of a probability I won’t go even if I get accepted.

@bioavailability‌ since we are applying to very similar projects do you mind sharing ur gpa and research background, just so I get a sense for the people who applied.
I’m a third year student, GPA is 3.75 and I have worked in 4 labs in the past 3 years.

@Gebraroest‌ yeah for sure. I’m a third year with a 3.91 GPA and I have worked in a cellular biology lab under my mentor/professor since Fall 2013 and since then I have worked/helped on 2 projects and I am currently working on another one. I also have gained proficiency in lab techniques such as mammalian cell culture, PCR, SDS-PAGE and all that plus some exposure to biochem, ochem and chem lab techniques.

I haven’t heard anything and I’m getting really really nervous :frowning:

Quick question for those accepted is anyone going to be located in Kiel? That’s where I am going to be. i hope there are some others near me.

@Kaegamel‌ hopefully the reason is that today is Sunday, maybe starting tomorrow?

@bioavailability‌ yes they will notify me if i wasn’t accepted correct?

@bioavailability‌ wow, very nice cv. This program is a lot more competitive than I thought. Good luck to you in the coming week. Hopefully we both get in!

@Kaegamel‌ yes they should notify rejections. @Gebraroest‌ I mean everyone has various strengths and weaknesses. I wish you luck as well! I just really want to know already haha.

AHHH!!! I’m so excited!! Just got my acceptance email :slight_smile:

ACCEPTED!!! :slight_smile:

Got in too! Oh my god cannot be more excited!
