did anyone's status change on the UniversityAdmissions.se?
I got a Merit Ranking of 99/99 for MSc Finance

I got the same 99/99. A friend of mine also got 99/99 and our grades and GMAT are very different. I don't think this means much. I think this is all coming from universityadmissions.se, and not SSE, so this is not a decision of acceptance. Can those of you who got an early offer confirm this?

what are yours and your friend's GMAT scores?

760 and 680
From the facebook page of another Swedish university I read that basically this message means we meet the minimum requirements and we will be considered during the selection process. 99/99 is given to those who applied in time and meet the requirements, it's not number of points based on which an admission decision is made. There are other numbers/letters given to those who applied late, don't meet the GMAT requirement, etc.

Well, I fully expect both of us to get an offer, but I don't think we can start to celebrate yet.
See this link, which makes me doubt your statement:
From Malmo university

Just checked my status on the admissions website and mine says 99/99 as well. I received an early offer but it was directly from SSE not from the UniversityAdmissions.se people so I can't say what a 99/99 exactly means other than that it is obviously a good thing. As the website says, it is the maximum score that your application can get so a great sign.

However, a word of caution I would say is that this score may be worked out by a formula rather than by ranking the applications and using a distribution. So a lot of people may score 99/99 rather than it being an indication that you are in the top fraction of applicants.

Having said that, I think it can only be good, and hopefully you all receive offers too as soon as possible!

Where did people see that notifications are friday? I'm really looking forward to receiving more information and welcome packs from SSE once the decisions have been made.

Best of luck.

yay! congrats!

are you in your last year of bachelor's studies? I got the same conditional offer written.
what are your stats?

@ franzel no they didnt say it was therefore, but my guess is that if you have full merit you will get accepted.

Yes, I am at my final bachelor year, when did you get your offer? I still want the offer written (to be absolute sure)

Don't you meet the minimum requirements?

Would be logical to get rejected in the 2nd priority when you get admission in your first one.

I asked the coordinator about the ranking. This is what she replied:
We do not use those rankings, it is just an automatic number that comes up in the system.

So yeah, 3 more days of waiting.
The weird thing, however, is that I applied to MSc Accounting and MSc Management as my 2nd and 3rd priorities. Both of them changed to Rejected minutes ago, while the Finance one is still Conditionally Qualified

My second and third are both rejected aswell
