mothwing... has accepted me!
... one one condition: they want me to re-send certified copies of EVERYTHING I've already sent them (the certificate of qualification for university matriculation, the intermediate degrees of both my courses of study, a kind of official document stating that my English is good enough, and a certificate of my health insurance) and an application for enrollment (which is basically another application) until the 19th of March.
Madness! Whatever FOR?
With the exception of the certificate from the health insurance they already HAVE all those things, I had to submit all those things for my application, the only thing I can think of they might not have a certified copy of are the copies of my intermediate degree in German. And now I have to re-submit everything for my enrollment? CERTIFIED copies (€1 per page)?
It was a standardised page they sent me, so maybe they were just missing the one thing, but that makes me worry they won't accept the confirmation of my language proficiency they've got. When I started at this university I had to do a language test hosted by our institute, now they've abolished those and people have to do the expensive TOEFL test instead. They said what I've given them was fine, and even if I did the TOEFL test now I would never have the results on time, as it takes three weeks for them to correct the essays you have to write.
Grrrrr. I really hope that THAT's not it. If my language skills are good enough for the University of Glasgow, they bloody well should be good enough for the University I have been studying at for years now, without any notable break.
Ok. Back to see Miss Heise on Monday, and to make all those copies.
I don't want to be rejected anyway in the end because I handed in the wrong kind of copy.
