…trying not to become a man of success, but rather a man of value. (Albert E.)
On the top of your Notification page you may see “No reply from you is required!”. The “safest” way to deal with that is to assume that if you do not want to accept that programme, you do not need to reply and you will automatically be rejected when the deadline passes. Your place will be made available for other people during the second admission round.
There’s a second argument for that, beyond the logic and common-sense reasoning. If you were expected to reply only to reject your admission, then the checkbox on the reply page would specifically say “NO-answer” and not “YES-answer”. This way VHS expects people to check YES or leave it blank (similar to no reply).
After you reply with a YES-answer checked, you will get emailed with something similar:
Reply to the notification of admission

Please keep in mind that this is still reverse engineering from the information gathered from prospective students in different situations, or from admission staff. Since this is the first year, the admission staff are not aware of all situations and their solutions either.

Merely a living soul;
mostly one that survives.
Often seeing the best in people;
surely one that dies trying.
value, cherish, criticize, plan, enjoy, think

Indeed we can only wait and nothing else…

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????

@ Jacopo
Hey, I just got the same thing, for Uppsala university! I can only hope what Andrei said here is true!

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
April 24th, 2008 at 2:04 pm
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.
