Hi guys,

does reserve means reserve 8 means I have no chance to be admitted for the course on master (law) in stockholm uni??? I am in such a dilemma now.

Nope - your chances are probably great. It just means that you are 8th on the waiting list. So, 8 people that were accepted to Stockholm must be admitted to a higher ranked program or otherwise decline admission in order for you to get in.

I'd say your chances are very very good!

If nothing is said about SI scholarship on the admission latter communicated through studera, does that means that my application for SI scholarship is not forwarded to SI. Did anybody here anynews about SI scholarship either by email or from studera?
Last year, those students that got SI scholarship has been told that there document has been forwarded to SI when they get admittance.

Answer to FAQ:- If you are admitted you will see a word "admitted" in the collumn "Selection" for the program you are admitted to. Otherwise it could be reserve or deleted(if you are already admitted to another program up in the priority).

Yeah, Maureen! Just do not give up! I got in the general human rights this year, but last year I have not been admited. I wish you the best of luck!

Alessandra

Congratulations to all those who have been admitted to Lund as for me am on Reserve dont know my chances but how I wish they would respond with precise notes for instance Accepted or Rejected or on Wait/Reserve List how easy that will be guese for those accepted next step is to print the pdf letter that was sent and head to the Swedish consulate.
Incase one has gotten an admission to anotehr University with scholarship and you are on teh Reserve list to avoid dissapointment is to accept the one you have being on Reserve is a gamble.

Once again congrats to all and for those who wanted to do human rights and the like and you dont get a chance at Lund this year op next year is still close enough

Lets keep in touch on this site to see wsuup

Good luck

I got accepted to Malmo University one year human right program and is on the waiting list at Lund University. My SG is 999 and my reserve there is #1. I talked to someone at VHS and they said I have a good chace of getting accepted. If one person drop out I am automatically in. I keep my hand cross.

Hi guys,
I went through the posts and learned some good info. which I've experienced without knowing. I wish I saw this board much earlier.
I applied to Int'l Marketing & Brand Management at Lund. After 1st selection round, I am on a waiting list as Reserve 1. I hope someone will drop off and a place will open for me. By that time, I have got nothing to do but wait for the results of 2nd round on May29 :( i hate uncertainty.

By that time, do you think I should check about residence permit, housing stuff for any case??

Any advise or lovely welcome will be appreciated :)

Keep your hopes!
I am quite sure it will happen. Look at my case: I applied for 4 universities and so far got the results of 3 of them. So yeah I gave on 2 of them because one of those was my top choice. I sent an e-mail to the university regarding my application withdrawl. And I guess most of the people do that, they apply to several universities or programmes just in case they don't get accepted in their favorite. So mostly, someone will be on that situation!

Although I didn't choose this country to pursue my studies I wish you the very best!

And don't forget to be positive :D!

Hey Rachie!

Thanks for your positive words and congrats on your admission. Yeah I keep my hopes and you are right about that many people withdrawl their admissions for their own reasons. I know there are people who applied to many universities in different countries, sometimes they choose Germany over Sweden for example.

There is another which I applied at Halmstad, it is my less priority but I am reserve 1 at that one, too. So maybe not Lund, but Halmstad it will be. Ohh I soo want to study abroad this year and I will {see! I am positive :) }

Hello, Supersoniq!

I guess you (and everyone who is on the waiting list) have all the reasons for being optimistic! I believe that after the SI Scholarships results, there are some people who is going to give up. Sweden is an expensive country, and one has to prove he/she has much money to apply for students residence permit.
Keep your fingers crossed, your eyes open and your mind free of fear!

Thank you aaalelele! Yesterday, I received an e-mail from my director which is sent to all applicants who are on the waiting list. Indeed, It is so dissappointing, but I am hopeful for any slightest chance or I start thinking maybe sweden is not the best option for me, I should check other oppurtunities. Anyway, important parts from the e-mail follows as:

Note that if you are marked as 'Reserve' (under 'Selection Result'), you are not accepted (admitted) to a programme. Even if you should have a very low 'reserve number', it is highly unlikely you will be admitted (we usually do not admit applicants from the waiting list). At this point, you hence need to consider other options (including other programmes, if applicable).

Anyone, is the above true?? Even if your reserve is no. 1 or 8? Someone please enlightened me, if anyone know any information on the above. The second round of selection results will be posted soon on 29th May... if this is the case, why bother waiting for the results rite??!!!

Hi All,

Sorry to join at the very last minute....I have been following your discussions very closely for the past few months so I'm in the loop about most things discussed. I too have the same question about Superbsoniq's post! Is it true and how come he / she is the only one who has received same? Please please fill us in if you have any information.

Hi All,
Me again...have you noticed that the number of people admitted for HR and Maritime has increased (since Friday) on Sudera Nu? Does Lund really only admit 25 international students for EU bus law?

I think there is one reason for the figure increasing, that is somebody admitted in the first selection round has quit and gave up the admission. Surely, Lund does only admit 25 applicants in each programme~~~

BTW, I applied for Eu bus law as my first option and the maritime law as the second~~

I'm wondering how good are the Eu bus law programme and the maritime law programme in lund ?? what is the graduates job prospective?????Is there any edge of being a lund graduate in the job market????

Just now I checked my account in the studera.com and found that the number of maritime law programme under acc in the selection group increased to 28~~~~~~~

Does it mean there are 3 students gave up their admissions in the firts selection round and I will get an admission on 29th this month? for I am the 3rd in the reserve list~~~25+3=28~~~~

I cross my fingers and pray for that~~~~~feel like playing lucky draw~~~~
