Hallo!

Ich bin nach Berlin vor 2 Wochen umgezogen und werde mein MA-Studium im Fach Philosophie an der Humboldt Uni im Oktober anfangen. Ich würde gerne neue Leute kennenlernen, weil ich bis jetzt keine Freunde hier habe.

Ich bin ein Amerikaner aber ich spreche lieber Deutsch. Schrieb einfach ein Kommentar, wenn du Bock darauf hast, irgendwann irgendwo (vielleicht bei einer Kneipe oder Café) treffen willst! Studierende wäre lieber (egal welches Fach) :)

Hi all,

After 5 years of undergrad in the US I received admission to my third MA program. My major during my undergraduate was philosophy from a mid-ranked school (150‘s nationally) and I graduated with a 3.9 CGPA.

I was also accepted into:

1. Georgia state university MA Philosophy

2. Freie Universität Berlin MA Philosophy

I formally accepted the offer from the Humboldt university :)!!

Hi all,

I received my formal admission to the Alexander-Humboldt University of Berlin‘s Masters of Philosophy program (NC) for the winter semester.

Here was my profile:

American BA in philosophy

Goethe C1-Zertifikat

CGPA: 1,1

Phil ECTCS Credits: 74

I received my conditional admission today, as I still need to take the DSH in August.

My profile:

I applied in April 30th, received my VPD on April 29th.

I am an American who has applied to master of philosophy programs at two universities. They are:

1. Freie Universität Berlin (Non-NC)

2. Humboldt Universität zu Berlin(NC)

I have a bachelors degree in Philosophy from an American university (University of Louisville) with a 3.9 CGPA. Both of my VPDS have been approved by Uni-Assist which translated my GPA into a 1.1 German GPA. I also have a total of 74 ECTCS credits (both programs require 60 minimum).

I also have a C1 Goethe-Zertifikat (albeit with scores in the mid 60‘s, but the programs don’t specify a point cutoff for my certificate).

I assumed that I would get into the FU easy, as they are NON-NC and I meet all of their public requirements. With regards to the Humboldt university I would have been admitted in the past two cycles (their acceptance admission is public for my program).

Is it reasonable for me to plan to do my MA in Berlin? I assumed I would have my letter earlier - and am expected by family to be there on the 17th of this month to begin setting up)…but I am getting nervous.

Also I have OCD so I’m sorry if this question sounds dumb. I tend to mull over delusions more than I should. Thanks for the feedback :)

My results for the May test were

Reading: 5

Writing: U3

Hearing: 5

Speaking: 4

I’m very confused about my U3 as I have taken practice tests for the TestDaF in a preparation course for months with a teacher…and always passed with a 4. I also have a C1 Goethe certificate, so I’m very confused on how my writing score was so terrible.

Should I appeal? Is anyone familiar with the process of appealing? I looked into it but struggled to navigate their website. Thanking

I applied to the freie Universität Berlin MA Philosophy program on April 30 and still have not heard anything back, my application was pre-checked on may 1st. Has anyone heard anything?
