Hopefully we both might get accepted to master programme in International Human right law in Lund. Do you already have your LLB? I am a USA student and you?

Sure, I had my LLB from Thailand. Hope we meet at Lund this autumn.

Guys, how do you plan to finance your study at Lund?as for my self i am planning to self-finance my study, but keep hoping that i will got the scholarship.

btw just got an email from the university saying that the admission result will be announced late april...
so...another month of hope and pray for me...

DId you read this?:

1.If You Have Applied Between December 2007 and February 2008

Due to the large number of applications, the scanning process (of documents) has been delayed. It is scheduled to finish during the first week of March.

The first step of the admission process (validation, eligibility, authenticity) is a very long process and it is not yet finished.

We have no way of providing applicants with status reports at this point. We kindly ask you to be patient and wait for the entire process to finish. The admission result will be posted by Mid-April.

2. If You Are From Outside of the EU/EEA
This application period does not give enough time to process your residence permit application before studies begin in the Autumn. Students from within the EU/EEA will not have this problem

If You Are a Non EU Student - Important Residence Permit Information:
Non EU students require a residence permit to study in Sweden. You can only get a residence permit when you have been officially accepted to a masters programme. This means that if you make an application in March 2008 you may miss the start of your studies in Autumn 2008; this is because the residence permit application process can take time.

Hey Guys,
yes, i tried to follow the status of my application on-line from the day i sent my application but the only thing i can view is 'under assessement'. But i got the information from a perosn in Lund that a lot is being done with our application. its just that we're not able to see it on-line. But i think they need to work on it as i am still having problem in the pre-registration process.
I think its best to wait and see what happens on April 17.

Hi everybody!!!!

Where did you see the date of April 17th?
I ckecked both in studera and lund website and, as far as I could see, the results are going to be posted in April 29th.

Does anybody know what is the real date that they are going to post the results??

Thanks

Thanks Kitmarc!!!! I hope you all meet in Lund next semester!!!
By the way, where are you guys from??

Abisha, I did the pre-registration a week ago, but I don t know if everything is alright yet, I didn't check with them via e-mail. If you are having a problem, maybe it is better to you contact them! I did that too. When I tried to pre register it didn't work, then, after sending them an e-mail, the web site worked!!!

Good lucky!!!!

I am just wondering are all of you sure you will manage to get a residence permit?

The waiting is the most difficult part. But on the bright side, there is no more vague "mid-April' date...instead we have a certain date of notification on April 29. Try to relax until then and don't let anxiety get in the way of your day to day commitments. Remember, our level of anxiety will not effect the outcome! You have to respect the process-Lund is dealing with hundreds of international applications and they have to certify their authenticity, and moreover, compare records, transcripts, and documents that are dissimilar (can you imagine looking at grades from different jurisdictions, how would you start to compare?). At the end of the process, if you earn a spot in the program, you can be certain that you truly deserve it. And you can be certain that your classmates will offer you even more opportunities for growth because they will be qualified as well. One of the reasons I selected Lund was that it offers a competitive edge in the field of human rights and that edge would be ruined if they accepted everyone that applied. I think the majority of us in this thread are attorneys so let's try to be rational! And I learned a long time ago when I decided to commit myself to human rights law that I would have to reconcile my differences with bureaucracy and learn to co-exist with the system!
