Thor4four,

What happened when you sent the screenshot of SAT?

Thor4four,

What happened when you sent the screenshot of SAT?

They just said they received "Certificates" and "Other Documents" somehow my payment was missing 5 euro and they told me my application was incomplete because of that but they didn't mention any problem with using a printed off version of the SAT. I think that they will tell you your application is incomplete if the SAT isn't okay in the form as is. You can also ask the Studienbüro at uni Leipzig if it is okay if they receive your application in this form as Uni Leipzig will decide on your admission. Uni assist will send the package to Uni Leipzig if it is complete, and you will know if it is complete or not as they will send you an email telling you if it is missing something.

I would also like to mention to everyone that Leipzig is known as being a VERY cheap city to live in, and if the whole Studentenwerk doesn’t work out, you can only find an apartment on your own. There are many great options and this is exactly what i am doing, and I advise looking on some popular German apartment rental websites! The best part about getting an actually apartment is that it most of the time will come furnished and the utilities are included in the monthly rent, I think it’s worth checking into!

This is true! Leipzig, thankfully, is very cheap city to live in. As you said, getting an apartment from a private person is not hard or expensive, if Studentenwerk Leipzig doesn't work out! We'll all be fine.

Have you guys been notified by Univ. Leipzig already?

Nothing yet here either!

If it was okay sending the SAT screenshot, why did you send the score through CollegeBoard?

Also, i alredy have a BSc in architecture but my gpa is very low.. was wondering if that will effect their decision of accepting me or not

Thanks a lot and hope to see you all soon in Leipzig at the start of the semester.

I'm in a similar situation, my application was received at the university on June 26th and I still haven't heard back either. Please let me know when you get their reply!

 

[Doyeon Jin]

It generally takes about a month I heard. So you guys should get notified sooner or later.

I have received my admission letter from the university today and my documents were received in July 9th, so it was a little over two weeks.
How about you guys?

Where are you from? It may be related to different countries taking different times to process the papers.

 

[PiaM]

I'm from Chile, the whole process took almost two months

Hey guys!
The almaweb account says the status of my application is "received" is that the status it should be? Or am i missing something!

 

[PiaM]

The status will change once your application is either accepted or rejected, and you'll get a document that you can find in account -> documents in the Alma web portal. You should also get a mail informing you something has been uploaded to your documents.
You've been waiting for a while, maybe you should mail them and ask what's going on, remember to use your application code that can be found in Alma web, so it's easier for them to help you.
Try to distract yourself a little, I can imagine the anxiety eating at you right now. Good luck!

I have already sent an e-mail yesterday with my reference number to
servicedesk@rz.uni-leipzig.de
And to
auslaenderstudium@zv.uni-leipzig.de about a week ago but no reply still.
Hope to hear from them soon

Hi everyone:

This is my first post here. I'm from Peru. I just received my letter of admission. I submitted my application on June 12th.

Hoping to see you there, guys.

(In case you're from Peru and want to know about the procedures, you can contact me)

 

[Sirius Mukari]

Hey people,

Just got my confirmation from uni-assist that my application is complete and will be forwarded to Uni Leipzig, which is a big step to admission already!

How long did it take for you guys for the uni to respond? uni-assist says that it might take a few weeks.

Hey guys, look at what I found
https://www.dcu.ie/sites/default/files/international/LeipzigGuide.pdf
It's a guide with all we should do once arriving in Leipzig and more.

My admission letter took a little over two weeks after my documents were received by the university.

Such a good document! Gotta print it right away. Thanks!

Okay, so hopefully I'll get to hear from them in around 2-3 weeks. Exciting!

Hey guys! Uni assist forwarded my documents a week ago. So admission letter will probably come in the next week.so we should discuss once which dorms we are going to select. it's better to stay close. Also we can help each other out then. Also uni-assist took about 2 weeks to forward my documents.

I'm applying for a room in a 3-6 bedroom flat in
Straße des 18 Oktober, Philipp-Rosenthal Straße and Tarostraße.
Those three residences are near the physics faculty of uni Leipzig (and where I suppose we'll have most of our classes)

Oooh very good.. i wish i could reserve any place.. i still haven't heard from them, except for a mail from them as i sent them again yesterday.. they said it still in process and i should wait still for a while! Fingers crossed!

Also, found this video:
This sums up the physics major and gives you a pretty good scope how and what will subjects in physics major include.. plus this YouTube channel is amazing.

Hey guys, check this out:

I know it's kind of extreme, with high upfront costs, and not without its risks. But what do you think? Would it be worth it?

Nope, they'd give you a completely empty room, and probably not in the best condition. You'd have to buy all the furniture by yourself and work constantly on the property.
Also, it might not be in the best location and far from any supermarkets or stores, as well as far from your classes.
It's too much effort that in my opinion is not worth it

Hello Gargi. It seems that we are from the same country. A problem that we all face here is with the visa application process. The problem is with the availability of appointment slots for visa interviews. I applied for this program quite early, and received my letter of admission on the 22nd of May. Despite of that, on the first of June, when I tried to book a visa appointment, I found out that the earliest available slot was on September 13! It seems that a large portion of applicants book appointments without receiving their admission letters, and most of them never cancel even if their plans change! I was really not expecting that. Immediately, I emailed the university, requesting them to allow me to enrol at a later date in case my visa does not arrive on time. They responded, saying that I cannot enrol after October 12. After that, I spent days, trying to reschedule my appointment, but it seems that very few people cancel their slots, so that I could reschedule to one of those slots. After refreshing hundreds of times over a few weeks, I finally found an empty slot on June 25. On July 20, I got my visa. I believe that I got lucky, in that I happened to check for slots at just the right moment. I have come across people who have had to stay back because of this. Be careful with the visa application process. Book a slot asap, if you haven't already. Good luck. I hope to see you in Leipzig.
