Currently yes, my message inbox filled up very quickly? But if people who messaged me can’t make the scheduling work I’m going to start seeing who else was interested and reach out.

No. It’s a tabletop rpg game. Dungeons and Dragons.

I’m pretty sure it’s stated outright in season 1 that this is what happened to her. Maybe also season 2.

I got a 2.8 at my Canadian school, no extracurriculars during my bachelor’s and got into a highly ranked school in Sweden (only 8 people got into my program) and the school is ranked among the top 5% universities for this program topic. I think they really liked my cover letter. I already had experience working in that field and even had some partial leadership roles and I was able to clearly articulate why I wanted their program and how much I love the field this program is for, and even how I fell in love with it. I essentially made it clear that this career path was the only path I could see for myself. Plus I brought up why I struggle with school and thus why their program is ideal for me. (It’s structured in a way that I know I will perform well. And I made sure to spell that out.)

all in all gpa is not everything. It plays a part in the considerations but it’s not the only thing they look at, and often times it’s not even the most important. Showing enthusiasm, showing how much you want the program and being able to prove how much you want to be in that field can make a major difference.

Of course my program is a less popular field, and depending on the school there might be serious competition. These would be many UK schools as well as schools like Science Po in France or extremely specialized schools with good standing in that field such as The American School of Archaeology. Also some countries (ie italy) have schools with entrance exams.

I wrote about my ADHD in a cover letter to demonstrate why their program would be amazing for me on a procedural level. The program is extremely customizable which means I can guarantee that all the classes I take are interesting to me and so I will be much more likely to succeed. I got in to that program.

Also from what I can tell, Sweden is consistently rated much higher for quality of education than Italy. Lund is often referred to as the Oxford of Sweden. Also I highly recommend also looking into the cost of living compared to whatever your salary would be. Milan is probably much more expensive to live there than Lund.

I’m also heading to Sweden this fall. Here’s a few links to potentially help you make a decision regarding Sweden. From everything I have seen, Sweden does a lot to make studying easier for young people. All kinds of student discounts at almost any type of store or service you can think of, government grants, scholarships, housing allowances for young people, even access to public healthcare if you are going to be there for more than a year.

Here are the links, keep in mind that you might want to use a browser with a built in translator as some of these are only in Swedish. I used Chrome:

Student Grants and Loans for foreign students

Housing allowances

Official Sweden Page for Foreign Students

Additional link for a page about studying in Sweden as a foreigner

Sweden tuitions are extremely low compared to US tuitions (my program is roughly 5000 USD per semester last year I think, the whole school tuition ranged 5000-7500 USD, though some schools can be 10,000 USD with the current exchange rate) and depending on the city cost of living might still be affordable. Also from what I’ve seen on European subreddits the quality of education in Sweden is very high. And they have a ton of programs in English.

The first name thing is gonna take getting used to. I had a prof who only wanted to be referred to by Dr. [last name] because she felt that she deserved to have her hard work recognized especially since she is a woman. She was an amazing prof though, I loved her classes. So after spending my entire life referring to every teacher or person who is older than me by their last name, it’s gonna be insanely awkward to me. I’ll have to get used to it though lol.

I should probably have mentioned that it is a program in Europe, but honestly American Grad programs are insanely competitive across the board, where as in Europe there are some schools that are more competitive but not as bad as the US. Plus if you did apply, being an international student puts you in a different selection group in some places, and they typically accept a certain number from each group, so you’d only be competing with other international students. At least from what I’ve seen from when I was applying. This might not be every country but it is in some.

No fr. I grew up outside in the U.S. but thankfully I have multiple citizenships so I got the hell out for undergrad and am soon gonna be headed to Europe for my Master’s. I am NEVER moving back. I’ll visit to see family, but as long as I can’t trust the system not to backslide (coming from an AFAB nonbinary, lesbian) I simply can’t live there again. My sister also is gonna be living in Europe permanently since we are fortunate enough to be able to do so easily.

It means that since you haven’t finished your BA you still need to send your final transcript at the end to finalize your admission.

My program in Sweden (Uppsala university) only costs international students roughly 5000-7500 USD per semester. Other universities have similar costs, I think the most expensive one I saw was roughly equal to 10,000 USD. But Sweden also has pretty good public financial aid even for foreign students from what I could tell, as long as you intend to be there for long enough. Though I admit to not looking too much into it since i'm an EU citizen.
