…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)”?

hey Andrei;
My SG is AU and MR is 1.. not meaning to look at other candidates but is this bad sign( I know we find out next week!!) . I was admitted last year but had to pursepone to 2008 b/c of some family issues. Looking at all the other candidates..my SR is pretty low
is this a cause for concern ???
Thanks again.
i think we should all pitch in a buy Andrei a gift for this wonderful blog…

@all: There’s really nothing much to say other than read this!
To which I add.. Selection Group DA always means Direct Admission, which means you are a special case. It is yet not confirmed, but DA also gives you the possibility to have that alternative as a real choice. Meaning you might be accepted by Priority1 with a different SG, and you could have DA for Priority2. In that case you will be asked to choose between the two.
@Lisa Lowen: I could think of a number of wishes for that
Actually, I was indeed considering putting a PayPal donation button.. though it feels a bit immoral to do so. On the other hand, I’ve been doing much of studera.nu’s job.. Don’t know. It was just a flash.
@Sri Phani: Congrats!Wait for a confirmation of my congrats on May 8th!

Hey there to all. Especially to Andrei Neculau.
I have read a pile of comments, and i also have mr’s, along with sg’s - the only thing that i know for sure, is that no one know for sure. But i let’s get to the point.
I have a different question (i guess, and if not, please give a link to the answer) - i am wondering what will happen after the 8th of may. I mean - so we get our mr’s and sg’s - what’s going to happen next. If (let’s suppose) someone was, or is able to be admitted to several universities - how it is decided where he will be admitted. I guess the main two choices are
1 Either the HQ choose where to “admit” him (i mean at single university) - which is quite logical
2 Or the student chooses - which i consider less logical, because this way universities with less popularity will “suffer” + this will lead to much more confusion in the admission process…but you never know for sure
I understand that it’s quite early to be asking such a question, but maybe you can share something on this
PS - i have also a question about the scholarships - how and when students get informed about the fact, whether they were given the scholarship or not.
Anyways - thank you for your support - just think about the amount of good you are doing for students all across the world (and i agree that you are doing a big pile of work for studera - they should merit you)).
Have a nice day

Each uni has different SG and MR rules.
KTH has 52 highest MR; Halmstd has 1300 highest MR;KI has 15 highest MR;Lund has 999 highest MR;Orebro has 999 highest MR and so on.
SG is also useful to predict something about your MR.
MR=999 with SG=DA means you have been accepted without any doubt.
MR=999 with SG=OS/PG etc means you have been considered as eligible candidate but decision has to be taken.
For example You applied to programme XYZ which has 10 places.
Admission commitee found 15 candidates as eligible and assign them MR=999.
Here the final decision will be based on gender (some uni prefer female) and your previous academic background. If you have excellent academic record then other candidates, you will receive admission letter but in case you don’t have a good academics then you will be asked to wait for 2nd round of admission and if any place is not accepted by admitted candidate then you will be offered that vacant seat.
Many people who got MR=999 but SG=DA have received admission letters from universities( allthough officially admissions will be announced on 8th) but SG=DA is a something very special case and DA stand for Direct Admission.
If you got OS at Uppsala then you will have to wait till 8th as I can’t say anything about this selection groups just I can translate OS as “Eligible without merit based evaluation”
You should conclude from above facts about your selection group. Perform pray regularly and do pray for all of us too.
And sorry i forgot to paste link about LUND MR here. Visit following link to see yourself what Lund uni say about MR.
