Asalam Alekum,
First of all I would like to inform you the situation in which I made the call. Due to some problems at both the ends the voice could not be conveyed properly and I tried my level best to get as many answers as possible.
To most of my questions regarding the confirmation or email regarding receiving documents being received the person replied that they are working on the documents and they were not expecting such a huge response due to which they are behind schedule. And it is also not possible to confirm each and every thing.
Q. My application says “Not processed” / “Under assessment”
A. I found the answer for this on the website where it is stated - Should an application alternative be marked “Not processed” or “Under assessment” this indicates that the course or programme has not been fully processed yet. (In short nothing to worry about).
Q. What does SG & MR mean?
A. These are for the internal evaluation and do not need to be considered or bothered about. (Its a way by which they make a translation of a foreign degree to a Swedish degree.)
Q. It says on my profile that there are 15 messages waiting but when u follow that link there are no messages ( the space next to the bullets are empty wrt each uni)
A. This is a Technical problem of the system so in reality there are no messages which should be viewed by the user.
There was also questions regarding sending of documents and them not being evaluated properly. The person on the help line said that if you think there are any kind of documents that need to be attached or sent please send them anyway.
My personal advice to all those who think they have additional documents are to please send them anyway - both to Studera and to your target university (just to make it double sure). Because if you miss it at one end you will probably get it done from the other end. (This is just my personal thought). Actually no final decisions have been made. They are all in the process. It is very much possible that all documents have not been processed.
The centralized system I think has been done because after giving you admission the University will inform Studera which will make sure that students do not get entered in multiple programs and only join the program which is of their top priority. Earlier I know cases where people had 2-3 university acceptances and they confirmed to all 3 and joined none of them. So this in effect wastes the seat which could have been availed by some one else.
So everybody do not worry and just have faith in Allah. InshAllah very soon everyone will get a response. Also we must bear in mind that when we say “InshAllah” it means that “If God willing…”. so if Allah wants it to be than so it shall be.
Also I am sorry if I could not convey your message to the exact query mentioned in the emails addressed to me. Sorry for that.
Regards,
Saad Rahman
