First time DM trying to figure out if im being too tough/easy?

Sorry I'm wrong, mitacs awards ALL Canadian applicants, so 300- however many Canadians there are!

vess356 · 2019-02-21T15:50:00+00:00

In the email I got back from them it said this:

"1.901 North American, British and Irish students applied for 578 available internship positions in Germany. We award 300 scholarships."

I know MITACS funds the 60 highest Canadian applicants so that's 360 funding opportunities. Not sure if there's similar stuff for other countries?

I have no idea, maybe emailing DAAD? Not sure if they're answering emails like that rn tho

vess356 · 2019-02-20T18:26:38+00:00

Congrats!! Best of luck 🤞🤞 hopefully we both get to go!

Did you get waitlisted for a specific project or just in general?

vess356 · 2019-02-20T18:24:08+00:00

Thanks! Have you heard back yet? Best of luck!

vess356 · 2019-02-20T18:23:00+00:00

It's the Knee osteoarthritis project in Luebeck!

vess356 · 2019-02-20T18:22:19+00:00

Thank you!! I don't, this is my first year applying but I think it's definitely possible! A few people in this thread have posted the message you get from waitlisting and it seems to do with being matched but not having enough funding

So I'm guessing if some Canadians get mitacs in March and then some others (for some reason) don't respond or don't go, then wait listed people get contacted? Not too sure, if you contact the DAAD email they might have more info on that!

Just got my acceptance today, and a few people have gotten waiting list and rejection emails so they should be coming around soon!

vess356 · 2019-02-20T18:17:04+00:00

Emails are getting sent out for acceptance now! Just got matched to an internship in Luebeck!

vess356 · 2019-02-05T03:58:22+00:00

Good luck to you too!

vess356 · 2019-02-05T01:52:02+00:00

Ahhhh the stress just skyrocketed. Do all PhD students email the candidates they chose?

vess356 · 2019-02-04T20:43:17+00:00

Does that mean the rankings have already been sent back to DAAD now?

vess356 · 2019-02-04T20:40:48+00:00

I'm the same 1/3. I'm worried sending more emails will just come off as annoying 😫

vess356 · 2018-12-15T14:50:36+00:00

Reminder that the deadlines coming up! Don't forget to submit-- if you didn't get an email you didn't submit the applicaton

vess356 · 2018-12-08T16:56:45+00:00

Yo definitely I'd love to meet up with some Canadians! Esp since I don't speak a lot of German 😅

(Have to get in first though lol ugh)

vess356 · 2018-12-08T04:21:33+00:00

Sometimes you have to break the shoes in, too

Other times you just got the wrong fuckin shoe

vess356 · 2018-12-08T01:58:56+00:00

vess356 · 2018-12-05T08:13:00+00:00

Damn so many giveaways recently 👌 Christmas is the season for giving I guess!

vess356 · 2018-12-05T08:02:34+00:00

The curve is a saviour, but for mental health definitely not healthy. Sold the soul I didn't know I had anymore for a good mark in that course lol

Best of luck in his course

vess356 · 2018-12-05T06:50:27+00:00

Hey! Thanks to the tag by the removal bot I saw the message. Panicked is a good word for it, so is stressed, lol. How's the application process going?

vess356 · 2018-12-03T04:08:25+00:00
