Admissions Timeline

Grade 10 Admissions Timeline

The following timeline outlines the process:

Feb 1:  Indra/application portal closes. If you need to apply or make changes to your application after this date, you must get your SYV (study and career counselor) to help you. If you are not at a 9th grade program in Sweden, then you will take contact directly with the "antagningskansliet" for help.

April 11: Preliminary intake is published in INDRA and what is visible is the results from your first choice program. You can log in from 1300 CET to see the intake decision.  (You created an account when you applied to Grade 10 from outside of Sweden, on the paper form you had to scan and send to the city of Gothenburg).  

If you are offered a place, you have to accept or decline the offer.  

Based on what you see or what your educational goals are, you may make adjustments to ranking: i.e. move Hvitfeldtska IB to first choice or 2nd or 3rd choice, etc. 

If you are not offered a place, the process isn't necessarily over because students who have been offered a place may have declined or changed their ranking order.  

June 3: Last day to apply to the International Baccalaureate and still be called to placement testing.

June 12: Indra closes for final work in the process.

June 24: Final placement information is published in INDRA. You can log in from 1300 CET to see the intake decision.

                         From now till July 7 you can accept or reject the offer, if there is one.

July 3: Last day for student to accept or reject an offer in Indra, if there is one.

July 30: Reserve intake starts. This means if you didn't get offered a place but you were placed on a reserve list, you might still have a chance to be accepted.

August 102 New or updated decisions in INDRA.

September 5: Reserve intake ends.

Grade 11 Admissions Timeline

For Grade 11 applicants, we do not provide the specific individual results of the testing and each case is handled on an individual basis.  

First students will have to complete the Subject Selection Guidance Process and submit a first draft Subject Request Form (See tab "Subject Selection Section G).  If after completing that process the student is still interested to apply and they come to testing, the test results are considered to see if the student has the requisite knowledge to enter directly into the Diploma Program. "Requisite knowledge" can be defined after everyone has tested. The group results are analyzed to see the mean, median, mode, and quartiles. Those in the lower quartile, for example,  indicate a need to gain more knowledge and skills before they can enter directly into Grade 11/Diploma Program.

It is also good to know there isn't a specific number of Diploma Program places available like there is in Grade 10. Our Diploma classes have ranged over the years from 70-100 students.  We must keep a careful count of each subjects' group sizes and once a subject group are full, we may not be able to offer just that subject any longer. There are also certain subject combinations which can't be completed together. And finally, some subjects aren't as popular and we won't start a subject group up if the group size is too small. These are some of the reasons why grade 11 intake must happen in close communication with the principal.

If you are offered  a place, you will be sent an email by the Principal. Our goal is for this to happen approximately 1 month after testing.
