Pre-offer Letters
This is something you might have or you might hear soon about.
As the phrase goes, pre-offer letters imply that during the admission process some students might receive letters of appreciation from a head of department, or an application reviewer.
This will not be anything fancy, but it will state that they have gone through your application and were delighted by your qualities and profile, and that they hope you will stay with them.
The pre-offer can also be just getting into the DA Selection Group.
The system is domino-like1 therefore even if you get accepted to all your alternatives, only the one with priority 1 will be available for you to accept or deny.
But even if online you will be admitted to one alternative and one only, if you got a pre-offer letter (or DA) then you can still choose to go elsewhere than there you got admitted online.
It might be hard to comprehend these pre-offer letters. But if you got a pre-offer from alternative 2, while you got admitted to alternative 1, and in the meantime you reckoned that alternative 2 is better than the first, you can contact the programme coordinator of alternative 2 and tell them that you are sticking with them. Your admission to alternative 1 will be deleted.
- the first alternative that accepts you will make the ones bellow void ↩

@Djellel: No! DA is simply one of the possible Selection Groups!
DA is just “whatever the rankings are, this student is accepted anyway”. Others, within other Selection Groups, will simply go through the system and be accepted or not.
All of those accepted in the first round (meaning now, during May 8-15) will be taking their chance at a SI scholarship.

Hi Andrei;
You mean to tell me they have changed the dates AGAIN!!!
You know I am begining to consider univerities elsewhere- not just because I am nervous but to me the administration process is the first sense of what the ultimamte experience is goign to be with the school- if they can’t simply process applications with clear and susinct notifications..who’s to say just how organized their programs are depite it being free- or perhaps this is the very reason for the debacle.

Hi Andrei;
This is my last note; but i wanted to give a word of thanx- your blog has truly been my saving grace. I have decided not to go to Sweden- I have not even got my final decision- i will not wait around for their circus date changing ways. I am now deciding between 2 schools in the US and 4 in the UK. Might i just add; the school in the US only had 3 people processing thousands of applicants and it not a shot gun approach as with the Swedes. The thing thaat most influced my desion was : that if the administration process is the first sense of what the ultimamte experience is goign to be with the school…i think it wise not to even partake.
One again thank u

One more note; If i was excepted last year and they didn’t call me until a week before classed started…why would they categorize me with all the new applicant. When they called me last year i was told that i was one of their top top candidates- what a joke! Its funny but the department has not responded to my email or phone call from over a week ago.

@Andrei
I went through this exact same process last year to be admitted to Lunds Universitetet so I don’t know how you could characterize it as “their first year.”
@Florence C
I totally agree with your rationale and I’d be surprised if other quality candidates don’t make the same decision. It’s a good thing you didn’t put all your eggs in one basket (like I did).

@Florence C: I missed your comment yesterday, but I can only tell you what I told Nicholas:
Hope you will find yourself a nice university! You definitely seem to be worth of a good uni.
And believe me I know that after reading thousands of comments coming from every corner of the globe and culture.

Today I have found a new message in my personal page, follow application section.
The message is “Please note: The new publishing date for the Notification of Admission will be May 8″.
So I think my result will be shown in that date and not on 15th.
Anyone else has had the same message?

thank you for this site - the information has been very useful and it’s nice to learn that others are on the same boat.
regarding the SI scholarships this is what i got from a masters program admissions officer:
“One candidate per program may or may not be selected by the SI scholarship committee. Usually the program suggests 2-4 candidates to SI. Chances are very low. Sorry.”
each qualified masters program (there are 200 or so) submits a short list of SI scholarship candidates; then the SI chooses 150-200 students for the scholarship. statistically-speaking it rings true that only one candidate, at most, per program will receive a scholarship. good luck to us all!

@Jacopo
yes, i have it, and it says ‘Message to all applicants’, so i guess everybody has it. anyway i’m loosing my patience and my hope, ive been rejected in norway and it was THE ONE i wanted
They told me, we are sorry but there were many good applicants for this programme. They asked me to have finished my degree and this will hopefully be in june, but it seems they couldn wait for me to do just one exam(although they told me i was welcome to apply, yes, we are always welcome to apply)…anyway it is true there are a lot of great candidates out there, and sometimes, when there are so many it is just about luck, like a lotery
let’s see what happen with sweden
wish u the best all of u!!

Andrei! Thanks for this site-Yo great. After getting an MR of DA in my second choice program, I have got a PG in my first choice program with a massage: “Platsgaranti” translated as place guarantee according to the Lexin on-line dictionary. Does “Platsgaranti” mean, I have a place in this program
Kind regards.
