Isae supaero was a very competitive University for my course; I guess I had better candidates applying for it. I was accepted at KTH, POLIMI, BOLOGNA, and ÉCOLE CENTRALE DE LYON.

For Sweden, you can select upto 4 colleges in your application, and you can rank them. I have applied to KTH, Chalmers and Uppsala University. I have got admission for my first choice of preference. I have also qualified for other universities but it was pretty easy for me to decide.     As KTH is the top ranked technical university in Sweden and also in the capital of Sweden, it was an obvious choice for me.  The application period is from mid of october till mid of jan for the fall intake and there is only one intake for international master's programme. You'll be announced with the admission results by end of march or beginning of april.
