(edit title) Autumn 2012 Admissions in Sweden Same old MR and SG Options

[Assault]

@Puffin,

But I guess if you got a message saying MR 999/999 Guaranteed place,
your place is really guaranteed and you are Admitted,
cause u know some students feel secure and dont advance with other admissions processes they might
have on their minds(Rest of EU unis)

[Project_R]

Ya Puffin. It sounds really logical and the situation might stand as you have suggested. It might be hard to say anything before 16th March.

Best wishes for everyone.

@ Puffin

The SI scholarship deadline would be till 25th March. So in case, I am not admitted in the 1st round, looks like that I shall miss the scholarship chances also. Cause during the SI scholarship, we need to put the admitted course number if I am not mistaken and we have to explain in details why should I be chosen for this course?

So please correct me if I am wrong ! Based on my understanding, you have to get admitted in the 1st chance to be considered for the SI scholarship.

If it is a course which offers a place guarantee then you are most definitely in - there are not so many of these around

[gparalikidis]

1) KTH - Software Engineering for Distributed Systems
MAAU & 40 of a maximum (999) <----- why so low?

2) University of Gothenburg - Software Engineering
AP & 150 of a maximum (225)

Anyone else who applied to any of these?

[gars89]

1) KTH - Systems, Control & Robotics
MAAU & 210 of a maximum (999)

2) Chalmers - Systems, Control & Mechatronics
REJECTED

3) Umeå University - Robotics & Control
HPAV & 238 of a maximum (285)

Anyone else who applied to any of these? Is it good merit rating?

[kalrast]

Can I apply for scholarship now?
OR
Any kind of scholarship still open for Indians?

@ Puffin

Thank you. So you are suggesting that if I am able to secure a place then it would be easier to ensure SI scholarship? March 16 is at the corner and hoping for the best.

Hey guys,

due to my transcript getting lost and having had to resend it to University Admissions, my application is now considered late. I was wondering, if I have 978 of a maximum (999) ranking in the "Late Application" pool (and am rated as "Qualified"), do I still have a good chance of being admitted? or does that depend on how the applicants from the regular application pool respond? Thanks!

Hej guys,

I think I have the same problem as many of us - what does the maau number really show to us?

KTH
110 from 999

But I hope we all will know more in a few days!

One thing I want to ask (just to be shure I won't forget anything)!
We only have to reply to the results from March 16?
Up to now, we just have to check if our information/documents are correct and then wait till March 16?

Regards

Martin

I am not totally sure about this, it says guaranteed place but I am not totally sure about it.

I hope we all get good news next friday! I wish you all good luck!

Does anyone know about scholarships for Spanish people? I do not have to pay the fees since I am from a EU country, but I will have many problems to afford my life in Sweden unless I find a job/scholarship, I have seen many schoolarships for non europeans but I find actually quite hard to find schoolarships for us!

Thanks for your help!

[Mkose89]

I hate waiting more for the final results. I got 985 out of 999 for the Middle Eastern Studies in Lund University and have no idea whether my merit rating is high or not after reading in some forums that if you get under 999, admission will not be certain. Any guess about the chances of admission for 985 out of 999?

Hope the best for all of us!
