http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373 en Admission to sweden-lund. - LLM GUIDE Discussion Board Wed, 30 Jan 2008 14:27:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#39373 Guys, need your help around here... I submitted a complete printed documents to VHS (Swedish national admission office) a week ago, the mailing service has informed me that all documents has been accepted by VHS 3 days ago. Today I received an email from VHS saying that my application has not been registered yet, does anybody know what this means? Does it mean that they have accepted my application, but haven't done anything about it? Usually how long does it takes for VHS to send in all documents to the university? I started to freak out, when i receive the email from VHS, wondering they have received my email or not? Thu, 31 Jan 2008 04:37:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#39408 m.dymas, Did you create your student account at Studera.nu? Regards, Ashraf Thu, 31 Jan 2008 05:21:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#39411 m.dymas, Did you create your student account at Studera.nu? Regards, Ashraf Yes i did... I sent out a complete printed document together with the printed cover as well. I wanted to contact the VHS once more, asking what does it mean that my document was not registered yet, but i guess they must be so busy so i dont want to disturb their work at all. Does anyone has any experience dealing with the admission process for studying in sweden? Sat, 02 Feb 2008 13:04:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#39566 Hello Everyone! What mailing service did you use to send your documents to the VHS? I'm just getting nervous. I was checking the document travel time online, and neither UPS nor FedEx's websites could quote a time range for sending documents to the VHS. (My universities are sending transcripts via FedEx - no word yet on whether they have been received!) Mon, 04 Feb 2008 03:47:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#39615 Hello Everyone! What mailing service did you use to send your documents to the VHS? I'm just getting nervous. I was checking the document travel time online, and neither UPS nor FedEx's websites could quote a time range for sending documents to the VHS. (My universities are sending transcripts via FedEx - no word yet on whether they have been received!) I use EMS (Express mailing service) it took only 3 days to send documents from Indonesia to Sweden and Netherlands.

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. http://www.lu.se/o.o.i.s/10900 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. also http://www.lu.se/o.o.i.s/10900 Mon, 07 Apr 2008 15:24:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#45014 Yes I did. it have been online forever.

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. Thu, 10 Apr 2008 16:06:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#45262 You are right. April 17 is D-Day! Hope everybody here get accepted.

Fri, 11 Apr 2008 08:53:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#45345 I am just wondering are all of you sure you will manage to get a residence permit? 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 Fri, 11 Apr 2008 09:06:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#45346 I am just wondering are all of you sure you will manage to get a residence permit? 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 I think this means some of Master Programmes, which Application deadline is April 15th 2008. It does not means to the programmes, which closes February 2009. Fri, 11 Apr 2008 11:45:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#45351 Hi Guys: I just wanted to let you know that both VHS and Lund have confirmed that notification of admission has been delayed. I received an email from both, indicating that the tentative date for admissions notification is 29 April. If anyone had emailed the university prior to the first week of April and inquired about the date of notification, that information is no longer relevant as it has changed. Furthermore, both websites have also been updated to reflect this change. (So there are no more inconsistencies). We have no choice but to wait! Fri, 11 Apr 2008 12:38:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#45357 April 29? my God, the waiting is just so terrible!!! Fri, 11 Apr 2008 12:40:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#45358 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!!!! Thanks Caditah, i will do the same. Fri, 11 Apr 2008 13:59:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#45363 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! Fri, 11 Apr 2008 14:28:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#45365 I think you need to first be accepted by Lund University before you pre-register don't you thinK?. Hey, what about the pre-registration for housing at Lund? it the on-line application working propoerly? i tried so many times but it failed. Fri, 11 Apr 2008 15:01:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#45367 I am in total agreement with you and I have deicided to adopt the atitude of wait and see until April 29 is over. If anyone on here get their acceptence letter before April 29 it will be nice for that person to let us know. 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.

Fri, 11 Apr 2008 15:07:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#45369 I am a U.S Resident and I strongly believe that with the right documentation needed at the Swedish Embassy here it won't be a problem for me. The hardest thing for me now is to be accepted. As soon I am accepted I am going to apply for my resident permit ASAP. I am just wondering are all of you sure you will manage to get a residence permit? 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 Sat, 12 Apr 2008 01:29:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#45412 T-18 days!!! It almost seems like we are copying what last year's group did. Sat, 12 Apr 2008 09:02:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#45421 17 days to go, waiting with full patience and prayers day and night Tue, 15 Apr 2008 18:30:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#45645 check your mail box or email. I applied to the international human rights program, too. I'm from the US (Washington, D.C.) Sat, 19 Apr 2008 13:02:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#45982 Hey Guys! Notification of admission has changed again!!! """It will be published in Your Pages on May 8. """" akkkk! Sat, 19 Apr 2008 18:00:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#45994 You guys have been doing a great job here. Congrats! I read through the blogs and happily related with the sentiments. I am from Africa and have been monitoring studera.nu on the admissions as well with much anxiety. T I fear that guys from this end of the world might have problems securing visas in time for school should an admission finally come their way. Sat, 19 Apr 2008 19:08:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#46001 Hi Everyone, it will be close, but its possible that even with the May 8th date we would still be able to get our visas. The Swedish embassy in the US estimates that the visas will take 3 months to process. But enough worrying - what program did you all apply to? I applied to Lund Human rights and labour rights. Hope to see you there! Sat, 19 Apr 2008 22:10:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#46020 Where part of Africa you from? I am from Liberia but I grew up in the USA and graduated from school in the USA. I think th the consulate might be aware of VHS delay and consider student. It won't be our fault in my opinion.

Am from Nairobi Kenya where I practice and obtained my LLB. All the best to you and everyone here! Wed, 23 Apr 2008 04:09:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#46223 I got a slight slight change on my studera today - they added a 'selection group' box (its empty in the Swedish one, but it says something in the Swedish version). To get to the Swedish your pages: log in in English, then click on 'Swedish', then click on left hand menu "Dina Sidor" - then its pretty much mirrored with the English. Hope you're all having fun in your corners of the world. Are any of you signing the petition from Andrie Neclau about studera? Wed, 23 Apr 2008 06:37:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#46229 Good for you. I have been thinking about the 'Merit Rating' issue and wish to speculate as follows: The 'SG' employs the numbers 0-9 for each selection category beginning with academic qualifications. A course that considers only 3 heads of qualifications will therefore bear the MR 000 for the lowest and 999 for the highest merit rating. The first zero meaning no academic qualification and the other two representing other criteria such as work experience, proof of previous academic curiosity and so on and so forth. A course that considers more could bear the MR 0 000 for the lowest and 9 999 for the highest. Since according to Studera.nu the MR will only be displaced for applicants who have met the basic admission qualification to the courses however, i.e. academic, there would no result in MR that begins with a zero. I would therefore speculate that an applicant for say the International Commercial Arbitration master course in the University of Stockholm with the MR 999 stands a good chance of admission subject only to class capacity. This could mean that should there be more candidates with the highest MR qualifications than the class can take the SG could resort to random drawing methods such as the use of computer sorting and those who get selected in those circumstances could be considered to be the 'lucky' ones. Personally, I have now given the page a break. May 9 appears so far so I will concentrate on reading people's views here and going about my life as a distraction. Wed, 23 Apr 2008 11:51:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#46239 Hey so have you gotten anything I applied for International Human Rights and Intellectual property and maritime law my stomach is churning witha nxiety if anyone gets a response keep us posted Wed, 23 Apr 2008 13:08:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#46247 Not yet. I personally doubt that anyone will receive a notification of admission before the conclusion of the process otherwise it would not make sense to assess the applications in terms of merit rating. If that were to be the case what would they do in the event that the remaining applicants turn out to be of extremely high MRs? It would mean they might contemplate 'recalling' some of the 'notifications of admissions'! Looks like we just have to wait and be happy to receive MR whenever it pops up because at least that means that the applicant is fully qualified for the course subject to space and competition from other equally or more qualified candidates. I am turning to milk. It is good for the stomach: -) All the best to you! Sun, 27 Apr 2008 23:54:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#46471 Hey everyone... its a new week! Lund updated their website to reflect the May 8 announcement date - I suppose that makes it official! I hope everyone is enjoying what they are doing this weekend - I'm studying for final exams (sort of). Mon, 28 Apr 2008 05:30:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#46484 Hello everyone, seems like we have to wait for a longer period then, wish you all the best in life. Now i got to get back on my daily life, soliciting, drafting and negotiating, and lawyering...life oh life... Mon, 28 Apr 2008 16:36:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#46507 Hi! applicants of Lund University, It's only last 10 days for waiting. Hope all of you lucky on 8th May 08. Mon, 28 Apr 2008 20:45:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#46516 Oddly, the anxiety has disappeared-the waiting is almost over! Good luck! Mon, 28 Apr 2008 21:12:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#46518 Anxiety disappearing? What's your secret?! I feel like I think about this so much, that on the days I'm not thinking about it, I feel like I'm forgetting to do something. How goofy is that? Mon, 28 Apr 2008 23:45:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#46525 My secret is that I have no choice but to study for exams! Haha. i always go into "tunnel vision mode" during exams, which is a good thing. but my anxiety over waiting for notification has been replaced with the stress of exams--honestly, the waiting was much worse because i can control how much i study! i have no say at all as to when and how the results will come out. good luck-keep me posted, and I'll do the same! Wed, 30 Apr 2008 00:01:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#46584 My MR showed up today for my HR application--999. has anyone else got a MR? does anyone know what it means exactly? I'm confused, because I thought that the university selected the students, so how is the MR calculated? Wed, 30 Apr 2008 02:33:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#46593 Wow... I just felt my stomach drop. I just checked and I, too, have an MR... My MR is 1. Hopefully, for both of us, they are just place holders. No idea what it means - maybe they are just rankings for how the student ranked their programs (Lund is the only program I applied for - and perhaps you applied for other programs that still haven't come back with their results yet?) Whatever it is, I hope its not bad for either of us! Wed, 30 Apr 2008 02:46:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#46594 Lund is the only program I applied to as well. i had no idea what it meant either, but I don't think that we should pay much attention to it since we'd only be speculating anyway. at least we've made it through the entrance eligibility portion, right?! Wed, 30 Apr 2008 03:34:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#46595 Yeah - its good that we know we hit the acceptance requirements. I read on another website (there's a facebook group dedicated to this process) that Lund has been assigning different numbers under different programs (and some Lund programs have even issued conditional acceptance letters). I applied for human rights and labour rights. Which one did you apply for? Wed, 30 Apr 2008 03:57:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#46596 I have applied for LLM in International Human Rights Law. Now my SG shows LUMAS and my MR shows 999. I dont know what does it means. Wed, 30 Apr 2008 04:49:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#46599 Napolibo, I've applied to the HR Programme (only the HR concentration) so maybe our MR numbers have absolutely nothing in common! like I said, I'm not going to speculate about it. besides, this coordinated system with VHS is so new that I don't think that anyone, except for the national admissions office, can shed accurate light on it. I have a Swedish friend who told me that Swedes, as a culture, are very honest, but they are reserved, so if you want to know something, you've got to ask straight up! haha-I kinda like that... Wed, 30 Apr 2008 05:31:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#46601 guys, why dont you ask lund about this, My MR is also 1 still i haven't got any idea about it. so i'm deeply waiting in anxiety like most of you guys Wed, 30 Apr 2008 05:49:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#46603 Hey everyone!!! it is almost a week now!!! best lucky to all of you!!! :) Napolibo, could you tell me, please, the name of the discussion group on facebook??!! I am very anxious about all this as I think everyone is, and I hope we all get accepted!!! Cheers!!!! Wed, 30 Apr 2008 08:08:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#46611 I applied for maritime law and also mr=1 rejected? Wed, 30 Apr 2008 08:33:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#46612 lets hope not, but who knows? Wed, 30 Apr 2008 09:34:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#46614 I also saw todya LUMAS and my MR -1 is it less than 999 or more?))) Wed, 30 Apr 2008 10:00:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#46616 I have contacted anders trojers at lund, probably he will have the answers of our questions Wed, 30 Apr 2008 10:26:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#46619 ADNERS told me MR=1 means rejection Many Chinese are rejected.... That's so strange, because last year's application is so easy, i know a guy who's merit is not as good as I am but was admitted last year......... Wed, 30 Apr 2008 10:37:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#46621 Anders has contacted me as well, and he says that MR=1 means rejection, Mr=999 means acceptance to the program, well congratulations to those who has been accepted to the program. Wishing you all the best... Wed, 30 Apr 2008 10:51:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#46622 guys, that is really sad to hear... well, good bye Lund))) and of course congrats to all who got 999! Wed, 30 Apr 2008 10:52:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#46623 But the people i know only those who applied for Human Rights Law got 999, other laws are MR=1 It's so weird.... I also got National University of Singapore's admission of Maritime law, and Leuven University Energy and Environmental law... Which one should I go? Wed, 30 Apr 2008 10:56:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#46624 I applied to European Business Law Wed, 30 Apr 2008 10:58:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#46625 From all I know in China, only HR law someone gets 999, for other laws all people get 1 so far... Don't you think it is very weird? Wed, 30 Apr 2008 11:03:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#46627 I applied for European business law and got 999. Wed, 30 Apr 2008 11:07:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#46628 I applied for European business law and got 999. lucky you! my congrtulations! you are admitted then) Wed, 30 Apr 2008 13:00:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#46633 Guys you all appear to have progressed so well here in my absence! I wish to congratulate all of you who appear to have received the MR qualifications that could guarantee admission. It appears that my theory/speculation was right if what you guys are saying about MR 999 is correct. It may still mean however that those who have so qualified will now have to be admitted based on the total number of equally qualified candidates and the available spaces in the respective colleges. All the very best to all of you and congratulations in advance! I have a bear MR 997 for the European Business Law course and using the information I have read here it means that I have failed! How sad for me but I will soldier on. I have seen that I have a couple of 999s for the other courses so if I do get notification I will reluctantly accept my second or third choice and kiss Lund goodbye though I would have loved to be there and take the course. Cheers guys. Good luck Wed, 30 Apr 2008 13:45:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#46637 Guys, Once again congratulations to those who has been accepted at lund. You should be proud for your efforts, Lund is a great university, and i've been dreaming of attending a course there. Probably i'll try to re-apply for next year class, probably i will succeeded in the future. Failure is nothing but a Delayed success...good luck to you all Wed, 30 Apr 2008 14:43:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#46639 Hi . I checked my studera account today and the status of my application was -Information Systems 60cr, Day-time, 100% Study programme Normal teaching Lund University, Lund - SG :LUMAS - MR :999 what does it mean ? Wed, 30 Apr 2008 14:54:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#46640 Hello, Folks! My name is Alessandra and I have great news for the ones who have 999 at their MR: http://qp.jur.lu.se/QuickPlace/mp/PageLibraryC125722600657D01.nsf/h_Toc/04ee2ab86e1c4d14c1257236003a18ce/?OpenDocument CONGRATULATIONS! You have been accepted! I am also a candidate, it is the second time I am applying for Lund... But my MR status is still showing under assessment! My first option is Human Rights Law (general) and I still donīt have any reply. Is there anyone on the same stituation? Because... I have the repplies for the other Human Rights Program (Intectual Property and Labour Rights) - wich is 1. Maybe the general human rights results are taking longer to be processed. What do you think? Wed, 30 Apr 2008 15:11:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#46642 thanx , it means that i am waiting now my letter of acceptance ? Wed, 30 Apr 2008 15:18:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#46643 thanx , it means that i am waiting now my letter of acceptance ? Yeah, I guess so! But follow the link I sent, there are things to be done right now, like pregister for housing. Did you apply for which program? Wed, 30 Apr 2008 15:22:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#46644 I applied for Master in Information System Fri, 02 May 2008 16:23:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#46758 Hey guys congrats once again! I really wanted to attend the European Business Law programme at Lund but my MR is only 997. Does this mean that I have been rejected? My second choice was Uppsala's International Comparative Law programme in which I got an MR 999. If an MR of 1 means rejected and 999 means accepted, what does MR 997 mean guys? Heeeelllllllllllllppppppppppppp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sat, 03 May 2008 09:49:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#46796 I had no idea so many people were in the same boat. I hope you are right about the 999 = acceptance, in that case ill see you there. Anyone else apply for EU business Law? Ariel Australia Sat, 03 May 2008 10:09:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#46798 Hey good for you! It is sad that we will not get to see each other in Lund as it appears that with my MR 997 I am not good enough for the course. Still I think I will take up the Uppsala one if it comes my way. Cheers Sat, 03 May 2008 12:22:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39373/last#46803 I had no idea so many people were in the same boat. I hope you are right about the 999 = acceptance, in that case ill see you there. Anyone else apply for EU business Law? Ariel Australia Hi Ariel Congrats on your (probable) admission to Lund. I think your the first fellow Australian I've seen posting here. I didn't actually apply to Lund, basically because I couldn't afford to spend 2 years in Sweden. I'm waiting to hear about admission to Uppsala (Int. and Comparative Law) and Stockholm (EU Law). It's a similar sort of situation where the assumption is that MR = 999 means admission. Where did you study? I did my degree at ANU, finished last year and still in Canberra. It seems like studying in Sweden without tuition fees is a pretty well kept secret in Australia. Everyone I spoke to about it had no idea and were amazed by how generous Sweden is in this regard. Why did you prefer Lund? I guess you wouldn't know how well regarded the Stockholm EU Law course is?
