May be im being a bit impatient, but does anybody have any idea, how MR works.. Some people say the higher it is, more are the chances for admission.
Also, can someone guess what is meant by “MAAU” (it shows in kth programs)

Hi!
First and foremost, thanks for the info! It seems like you know a great deal about this cryptic admission process, and lost souls like me truly appreciate you sharing your insight!
I have applied to KTH’s Engineering and Management of Information Systems master’s program, and of course I have been frantically checking studera.nu several times a day. Today there was finally some news in there - namely, I got a SG and an MR. My SG is “Master alternativt utval” and my MR is… 52. From what I gathered from what you’d written, the MR numbers are really not very telling, although it DOES worry me a lot that everyone is talking about numbers like 900 and mine is …. 52. That might have something to do with the fact that I’m from Armenia - a non-EU country with a non-credit educational system. However, of course I DO have a bachelor’s degree, all honors, in Applied Math and Computer Science, and I’m working as a Java web developer and all that.
Question - my having an MR does at least mean that I have all the necessary qualifications, I hope? I sent all my documents via DHL and, of course, I have no idea whether they have received them, or whether they have some problems with my 3rd-world high school transcript…
Also, do you maybe have some insight about the “alternativt utval” SG? Alternative choice, right? Does that mean that I’m in some kind of a waiting-list group of people who MIGHT get a place if lots of people decide NOT to choose the given program? Thoughts?
Any kind of input would be greatly appreciated… No doubt I’m totally and completely worried, especially since I applied to only one program..
Thanks a LOT!

Sam: I got MAAU too… It’s “Master alternativt utval”.. meaning “Master alternativ choice”. Not sure what it means, but given my luck, I think it’s some kind of a semi-waitinglist thing…

@Sam: What the hell did I just write here -

which is simply the 3rd section of this article?

@Gaia: So far, so good I would say. If you got an SG and MR, you are “in the game”.
Regarding MAAU, so far it is simply a selection group so far.
Discussions on this topic are supposed to take place on a Facebook page though.

Hi guys,
I have just got MR 29 and SG MAAU from KTH.
Actually I don not know whether my number is a good merit rating or not,but as Andrie said it is good enough to know “I am in the game”
Good Luck

This is my situation:
- MR: 999, that seems to mean that I’m good for them to make the master
- SG: DA, that in the Swedish site is “Direktantagning”… The translation in English is “direct admission”…
I’ m not sure of this!! Can everyone tell me what does it mean??? Am I admited?? I cannot belive it…

Jacopo, congratulations! That indeed means your application was so nice that they accepted you already (special case)
For the others, and for you Jacopo
— I’m going to tell you the exact same thing I wrote above:
And also, may I please remind you that discussions on this topic are supposed to take place on a Facebook page though.

I too, got some changes in the columns of SG and MR as MAAU and 32 respectively; for KTH…
..and after going through the long discussions (for almost over an hour) on several of these blog pages and facebook, iv decided not to give a little rat’s ass. The system is way to crappy and wierd for normal people to decipher.
I think the best option is to relax and wait for the 29th instead of going crazy trying to find meanings of these silly acronyms on studera!
Best of luck to all applicants. Godspeed

@ Sam: Not just sense of humour but tolerance, respect and good nature to name a few. Not to forget their excellent grasp over the english language that makes life so easy for foreingers!
