I really cannot say anything else other than I'm simply trying to make it better for the next to come, although it seems quite hard to get the signatures - people are still wining about the situation, but don't sign. If you have friends supporting you, get them to sign as well. Hope you will find yourself a nice university! Or maybe you will get into a Swedish uni after all. You definitely seem to be worth of a good uni. @Nicholas Mario Wardhana: I’m so sorry about this turn-around, Nicholas.

Too bad I found your posts related to VHS admission very late. I applied to Linköping University via studera. In my account, I received a message that I am unqualified because of lacking English skill proof. I have inserted a certified copy of IELTS, and my score is above the requirement. Although it was written that I may disregard the message if I had included an English test report copy, it really freaked me out. I asked VHS via email and only received the template answer. Now I am giving up this application and have considered other universities to continue my study. Keep up the good work (it's great to find somebody else started a petition, something I didn't consider before), and may the next term applicants deal with a better management. Hi Andrei,

The same procedure goes for TOEFL as well. There is nothing to be written on the envelope. And I don't see it as a process that can lead to mistakes. Plus, if you really want to be sure there won't be any mistake, like I've written on my blog, you can attach a certified copy of your IELTS/TOEFL results in the application package. PS: I have deleted your signature from the petition. Indeed we need real names. Thanks again for the support and understanding! @Olive: I’m not stupid, Olive! :) It’s just that your question regarding IELTS was not easy to follow.

I think if we had much more men or women like Andrei in the world spending time to find and simply clarify flaws everywhere, life would become better. It's simple yet not insignificant! Thank you Andrei Thank you for writing this petition!
