Generally, with what I've seen on the thread, AM comes between 4-6 weeks after interview. Though there are some beyond-range examples here like heybaby12 who had to wait for almost 7 weeks or so. Seems someone once reported getting AM in 3 weeks too.
The people that got AM this morning did their interview on Feb 1. That's exactly 4 weeks. So you might want to chill a bit. March 18 is a Monday, and that's exactly 4 weeks after your interview. You can set your mind towards that date.

All the best bro.

Thanks for the clarification. I appreciate

mjkareem:
Yes you can, but your chances of getting admission are slim. Also depending on the course you want to go and study.

I would suggest you write the test though to boost your chances of acceptance when you are applying to schools.

chances slim? as long as your BSc is taught in English some schools just need a letter from your school to prove that English was used during your BSc...only few schools I know are bent on the exams...I might be wrong.

clintonsparkz:
check daad, most scholarships require B2 or so in German....some schools offer scholarships too during application or if your academically good during your first year...omo find a way of getting there, u be naija guy...u go surely survive.

Exactly my thought. Because the last thing I expect is going back to Nigeria to look for jobs after my Msc in Germany, that's why I avoided UK because I heard they push one back to his country after Msc.

That 18months they give, is it really enough to get job related to your course?

I resumed August 2018, retained the admission November 2018, had my interview on the 1st of February and AM dropped 1st of March.

Danke...

I thought the first payment is for application to 5 different school

Not at all. First payment is for 1 school with 1 course only.
Subsequent payment is €30

obibanks:
So all these prospective students that are looking for who to pair up with, what does it mean?

They pair up to post their hard copies via courier to Uni-assist. Since it's the same postal address, they can merge together and split the cost. It makes it easier.
But the application fee is paid by each candidate on his own

Hello all,
Been a while I posted well life happens when you have school work and German language class to balance. So just decided to give an update FROM MY PERSPECTIVE about life in Berlin Germany. Please it's not for generalisation, it's my own opinion so do not attack my post. Instead share your own opinion and we would all learn.
1) Try to learn German in Nigeria its way cheaper... At least do your A1 and A2 in Nigeria if you can. For A1 alone I paid 490 Euro here in Berlin. So you can imagine compared to the price of Goethe institute in Nigeria.
2) When budgeting for accommodation please budget for deposit ( kinda like security deposit). It's usually 2 to 3 months rent at most. You get it back when you leave the accommodation in a good condition after your contract expires.
3) Start your accommodation search as soon as you possible once you have do e your interview . Don't hope on studentwerk the waiting list is 3 semesters. Use your contacts join groups on Facebook eg Berlin housing, flats in Berlin etc but remember there are loads of scammers and time wasters on the prowl.
4) Accommodation in Berlin is expensive but you can get cheaper accommodation in the outskirt of Berlin. If you don't mind travelling for over an hour to get to school you should consider it. Also keep in mind during winter and strike times you might have transportation challenges.
5) Anmeldung is important but getting an accommodation that offers Anmeldung is more important. This helps you avoid necessary stress of repeating the process when changing accommodation.
6) Read the fine lines before signing any contract eg internet , phone, gym, insurance and so on. Contracts are binding here and hard to get out of once they are signed. Try starting with flexible short term contracts.
7) Eating out is great but cooking saves you money so bring you properly packaged Nigerian foodstuff when you are coming to Germany.
Make sure you pay your ARD fees ( broadcasting licence) , you can run but you can't hide from them forever especially since they know where you are thanks to Anmeldung. It is compulsory and just one payment per apartment so always discuss this with your potential housemates.
9) Recycling is compulsory and not hard though Berlin is dirty sha but cleaner than Naija by far.
10) A lot of generous people in Berlin giving stuff for free please join Free your stuff Berlin on Facebook. Please take only what you need try minimalist living, no space for clutter here.
11) Free food is great and cheap food is also great download 2good2go app tells you where you can find restaurants and bakeries leftover food for very low prices around you. Here there is no make we freeze and warm am for customer tomorrow. Food is served fresh and daily in most places.
12) Berlin is very diverse you would meet all kinds and types of people. Be friendly, be polite and most of all MIND YOUR BUSINESS.Try not to stare, Berlin is very LGBTQ friendly so don't be shocked. They are humans like you and might be one of the kindest people you will ever meet.
13) To survive in Berlin you need money, so hustling is very welcomed . Please drop your cloak of proudness in Nigeria because here there is dignity in Labour. Without German your job options are a bit limited to mostly unskilled labour eg cleaning, delivery, serving etc. Though people have gotten very good jobs without German so keep applying and don't limit yourself.
14) There is a drug culture in Berlin which unfortunately alot of our black brodas are the people selling em on the streets and it's quite open. If it's your thing well suit ya self. If it ain't when they approach you smile nicely and say No and find your way.
15) There are stupid people everywhere even in Nigeria so try not to get defensive when someone hurls racial insults at you. No need in putting yourself in harms way because you are trying to defend your blackness. A smile and a God bless you or Thank you or good old ignoring them does the trick. Try not to grovel in the mud with the pig.
16) Police is your best friend anything happens pls report to the police. Documentation always wins in the end. You get robbed or you lost something important report to the police.
17) In Germany you do effective work , meaning 8 hrs work is 8 hrs of work. No pressing phone or chatting with colleagues during working hours save it for your break time.
18) PUNCTUALITY please always be punctual 15 mins early always works. Pls pls no African time.
19) Socialising is a bit tricky here but it's easier if you join social groups there are a lot on Facebook . Also Berlin has a lot of activities you can join groups for . Salsa, bouldering, painting, cooking, fitness etc Soo much to do here. Best way to make friends is to socialise via activity groups.
20) Germans are very straightforward and conservative so you know our tendency of having no boundaries doesn't fly with em. So be subtle in your socialisation before they call police on you or report you to HR.
21) Make use of your student discounts find out places that offer student discounts and use them to save money.
22) Keep your music low and conversations down. Sunday's are noise free days someplace you ain't allowed to vaccum or mow your lawns on Sunday.
23) African restaurant and shops are available just google you would find some there is a big Afro shop run by Indians called Punjabi store in Osloer str you would get some Nigerian stuff there even catfish.
24) School work and exams are usually packed so study hard to make good grades. Most times they don't like story story just go straight to the point where you answer questions.
25) Be nice to each other especially your fellow Nigerians and share information when you have it. Quit your hoarding info habit, don't bring it here. Asian people dominate in most places because they have a good information network and share with each other.

Hope this helps I might not be here again until sometime later. Till then keep striving and wishing you all the best in your endeavours.
Cheers Ndidi (female lol don't sir or guy me)

You're on 2.4 German grade. Visit daad.de/en
You'll find enough schools to apply to.
No one can tell you which one will admit you. Just apply

Deustchemann:
Not at all. First payment is for 1 school with 1 course only.
Subsequent payment is €30

Wow...so if I am applying to six schools,that's 150 + 75 =€225

Good day
Is it for summer or winter?

But the application fee is paid by each candidate on his own

So the application cost is different from courier posting cost to Uniassist?

Guys when sending documents to uni assist, should I write the names of the schools I am applying for above and below the uni assist address?
