Back to “..in Process”
Some of you may be experiencing a weird phenomenon.
You were given a Selection Group and a Merit Rating for some of your application alternatives, but some day you discover that they now have no SG&MR and they switched back to “Application in Process”.
After some nice panic attacks, and after some official email replies from one university, the conclusion was that no matter what you see on your application page, universities in general keep track of their SG&MR on their own.
An official reply from the National Admissions Office has yet to come (20080419).
It is yet not clear to me if the centralized system is split in 2: one internal system (what they are working with), and one external/online system (what we see in our accounts)
OR
one big centralized system (both used by the universities, and by us when viewing applications) and a secondary/safety backup system implemented by each university.
The bottom line is that your situation per say is not back to “Application in process”, but only your account status.
It is simply another glitch in the system (we all got accustomed to that).
Relax, or just give VHS a ring to hear it on your own and relax!

Please take a few minutes out of your precious time to skim through some simple & plain english language text on this website that informs you to disregard any acronyms for the time being.
(Or indirectly; Hold on to your pee until the 29th of April!)
Boy! I’d surely like to kick some asses through the cyber world if that were possible!

Hello people, if u want to see what does it mean the merit rating u have to go in your page of studera and, before to write id and password, u have to add ?sv to the browser. It will appear the Swedish site and U have to enter and go in the page of “follow application” (It will be in Swedish so use the memory to reach it!!).
At the bottom of the page there will be the explanation of your the selection group and then u have only to translate it with an on-line dictionary ( http://lexin2.nada.kth.se/swe-eng.html ).
Good luck!!

(un)fortunately, like nick wrote:
And don’t ever expect any interpretation of your specific SG&MR from me or anyone else.
PS: acronyms refer to the Selection Groups (SG)

First of all i thank Andrei Neculau for potting up this informative and very helpful blog …

Yes, the end of the Admission Round has been postponed to May 8.
If you were having this discussion on the Facebook page, like the rest of the people, you would have been easily notified about the change.

Thanks Andrei, but i have problems with my facebook page and i cannot logg in, that’s why i write here.
i still have the same question
can anyone tell me if this situation has happened before? and what does it mean? i had SG and MR and now i dont have it

@peke: I’m sorry, I didn’t see it before.
I have the same issue. Happened 2 days ago, then yesterday came back to the given SG and MR. Today it is back to Application in process.
All I can tell you is relax. Why? Not because studera is doing a great job, but because the universities keep track of their admission outside the centralized system.
I will soon put this information online. Thanks for reminding me.
PS: what problems are you facing with Facebook?

@Andrei
Thank u very much, so it means nothing? anyway im much more relaxed now :wink:. this studera is getting me crazy, well, it is getting us…ive been studying in norway and i have swedish friends and it’s quite weird they have such a pointless and unuseful way to say we are accepted or not.. even more when studera.nu was designed to simplify everything…
anyway i guess they didn’t expect the huge amount of applicants we are.
let’s wait then, because i was going to call the university..i dont know
thanks again!!
and my facebook doesnt work because it doesnt appear the screen completely, i guess i have a virus or something…ive tried it a lot of times.

Everyone is saying that” they didnt expect the huge amount of applicants”.. I dont understand what changed in the world so badly this year that all the world decided to move to sweden..
how it can just increase ’so much’ just in an year?

@Sam: Thing is that this is the first year when they have the centralized system in place for international students as well.
And I think they got the math wrong. I mean it is so easy to add one more programme on a list than to create another package of documentation, if it wasn’t for the centralized system - which implied one package for each application.
Also, I think it was a word-to-word thing. Some people wanted to apply to Swedish universities. Then the application procedure became so easy. They spoke to friends. Friends applied also.

@Fraz: I think it is a left-over from the Swedish admission system.

Hi Everyone,
If anyone has SG like AUM or MA08, it means “meritvärde master or MasterH08″ in swedish. The English translation is “Qualified for master/MasterH08″. Good luck…….

@Munir: did the secret agency give you this report?
