 * Of those 400 applicants 20 do not send a complete application. They are rejected.
-As a result, around 380 applicants enter the selection process. Only those ones have a chance to be one of the top 20 students who we offer a place on the program. That means there are around 380 applicants each year you are competing with. Our advice: follow the instructions under the required documents exactly to send a complete application. Analyze the selection criteria to provide all the information we need in order to rank you accordingly. The top 20 have usually an all-over ranking between 85-100% (see selection criteria). Create a perfect application, and you will have a chance of being one of the Top 20. Save the selection committee time and send a structured application. The selection team will not search for information in a chaotic application - Rule of thumb: if you do not provide the information asked for - you will be rejected. Use our quick-check service for ECTS/English in December/January and read the sections about how to write a good motivational letter.
