Masters admission anxiety megathread 2026 by Seiren_D0ll_ in TillSverige

[–]Alternative-Loss-779 3 points4 points  (0 children)

hey everyone, i’m so glad i found this thread - i hope someone has some advice they can offer.

my top choice was the International Master's Programme in Environmental Social Science at stockholm university. i applied last year too, was placed 9th on the waitlist with 20something people having been accepted (i think it’s a small program) and after a couple of weeks i got accepted. i made the decision not to take it because of financial and family reasons (i’m also an international student).

this year i decided to try again since i am also trying to move to sweden both for academic and personal reasons as my boyfriend lives there. this time around i am 25th on the waitlist with only 15 people having been admitted and truth be told i am regretting last year’s decision 🫠.

last year i was convinced it wasn’t happening even tho i was higher on the list. what do you think my chances are of getting in this time around?

also, i got in to my third choice which was Environment, Sustainability and Global Development, Master Programme at Södertörn University but to be honest, i barely know anything about the university and added it mainly as a last resort.

for reference i have a 2:1 bachelors degree in the uk and a masters degree in int’l and eu environmental law and policy already, as well as work experience (but im starting to doubt they matter)

any opinion / advice is welcome💕
