…trying not to become a man of success, but rather a man of value. (Albert E.)
The system runs in two phases, or rounds, in order to occupy as many places as possible.
In a simple phrase, the places rejected during the first round become available for the second round.
Basic things to know.
One alternative will be marked with “Admitted”, while the others bellow with “Deleted” and some above with “Res #”. You will also be able to see how many students have been accepted inside the same Selection Group given to you under “Acc. in S.G.“. Be aware that the Selection Group spreads out over more than one programme, so there’s no connection between that and “the number of my future classmates”.
If you have previously received an admission letter by snail mail or email (or given the DA Selection Group, in the Application page which now became Notification page) from another department/university, although that alternative has been marked “Deleted” on studera.nu , you are still able to opt in for that programe.
You should check with the respective university, but the following information was already confirmed by a couple already. You should give a negative answer/reply to the studera.nu Notification, and notify the department where you’ve been accepted (yet marked “Deleted” on studera.nu) that you are going to choose them after all.
Why is that happening?
Well, probably for lots of reasons.
One is that universities can spot special students with real potential and therefore are “fighting” hard for them. So they try to make the programme available for that student for as long as possible in order to attract him/her.
Another one is that the centralized admission system has probably not been built for that, but just as a very-automatic highly-digitized and very-little-humanized management system.
The third reason, maybe the most important to the students, is that during the months of the admission procedures.. you have met people, you have made friends, you have shared experiences and thoughts.. You are now more eligible to make the right decision and prioritize better, and I bet you already did or at least wanted to change the priorities for the alternatives you have listed before the Online Application deadline ,) Be honest!
If you are not in this complicated situation, and being able to prioritize some programmes once again, then the only thing you can do it’s just hit the Reply button on the Notification page and check or leave unchecked the “Yes-answer” box on the next page.
You have alternatives marked with “Res (number)”?

Seems like the more I read, the more ‘nervy’ i get (even though im trying to stay cool!)
I’m assuming that one of the most common problems that applicants are facing relates to uncertianity, as applying for international univeristies is never an easy tasks. From applications, to ref. letters, personal statements, transcripts and above all visa issues.
Just a follow-up question; Does the statement ‘after each selection round’ means that the process can possibly stretch well beyond 8th may?
@ Djellel: I’m also a KTH applicant, with SG- MAAU

@Andrei:
Do you like this pessimistic phrase “beating around the bush” which means “Not discussing to the point (here SG and MR) rather insisting on some other things”?
Okay.
You do me a favour translating the following message in actual meaning. What I have got is a word to word meaning which may not be expressed in full. If you can, please collect the actual English meaning of the following message and let us understand the probability we have in this particular university.
“Engelska: Du uppfyller de särskilda behörighetskraven helt eller delvis genom reell kompetens. Beslutet gäller denna utbildning, denna termin.”
The English version I have got….
“English: You meet the special requirement entire or partial through real competence. The decision concerns this education, this semester”
Thanks.

Im also a MAAU member and I don´t have a clue of what that means… everything is quite confusing right now, but it´s nice to see that some people are in the same situation!
Is anybody applying for the Sustainable Master Engineering in KTH????

Hi,
I had MR and SG to 5 universities until Monday, now everything has reverted to ” Application in process”.
Is anybody in the same situation?

@Mohammad Munir Hossain: No, your previous use of “beating around the bush” seemed more likely to say “We all want to know if we’re accepted or not before we get the admission letter, and that’s why we keep trying to find out about the SG&MR”
@Selasi ( Ghana): Read this http://andreineculau.com/blog/2008/04/studeranu-aftermath/4/

Hi All,
Does anybody know anything about the Guest Scholarship programme and how scholarships are awarded ?
Shukhrat

Very good question. I also will be waiting for any response concerning guest scholarship coz I had also applied for it.

Is the guest scholar the same as the SI scholarship.
I think their response was first planned to be on May 5th

The deadline extensions are becoming ridiculous. At some point they need to accept responsibility for the task at hand show some professionalism in administering the admissions process.

Blame it on the online admin. system which was supposedly meant to streamline the admissions process, but it only put undue stress on the universities.
Previously seperate application packages were reqd. for each university (in case an applicant wanted to apply for degrees in diff. universities). Studera offered an all in one solution! Theoretically a person can apply to 8 diff. universities through this system, all in a single application package. Do the math and you get to know the complexity of the situiation.
Can’t really blame the universities for this obvious delay!

Yes Andrei Neculau,. am in the same process; I applied for 3 then, 2 appeared with msgs, then all over a sudden one reverted to Application in process.
Any one knows the meaning of this?

I’m in the same situation. Read what Andrei has written. anyway, the best we can do is just wait

@Djellel: Guest scholarship is one type of the SI scholarships, but it often blends and they have the same meaning.
About how they are awarded.. They must have a system, but it all happens behind closed doors, so just wait for a YES or NO from them. Nothing much you can do.
You can think of the Swedish Institute as a businessman who can help you or others with money. In the end, the guy doesn’t need to defend his decision whatsoever. It is his interests at stake and that only.

@Andrei, SI scholarship is awarded for students selected in the first selection round, I guess those with DA.
