a big problem! exam document not accepted in Warsaw.

hi everyone!
well as a matter of fact i have a problem which i need some help for solving it!
the truth is that i passed the entrance exam for dentistry in Lodz and i got 66 points but i couldn't be accepted in Warsaw university so i gotta go to Lublin! the problem is that the document from Lublin is not accepted in my country so i just have to study in Warsawto be able to continue my studies in my country!

i just wanted to ask u guys if there is a way to transfer it from Lublin to Warsaw or any other ways cause i don't know where i should go and request for that! if any of u can help that would be a big work and I'll thank u all!

moonsa I wish I could help. I am sure someone here knows.. hang in there :)

Why... ?

For how long are you supposed to study in Poland? I'm not sure if I'm right, but maybe you could start to study in Lublin and transfer to Warsaw after one semester or the academic year (I think it could be possible if you had good grades).

BTW, I'm from Lublin and I would encourage you to study here...:)

Good luck!

because of my low mark in fact if i had 69 points instead of 66 this problem wouldn't happen at all!


it's not for sure but i guess till i'm graduated!


yes u r right but i would prefer to start in Warsaw from the beginning so it would be great if some body tells me where i should go and ask for it! btw i just have less than 20 days for this request!!!:((

You mean they don't recognize the diploma from Lublin ? I don't think the program or quality is much different than in Warsaw...


Hard to say... Unfortunately I doubt anybody here may help you with details but generally you should try and contact people responsible for recruitment at the Warsaw Medical Univ. and explain them how important that is and that there's only 3 points... maybe they can find one more place or someone from those already accepted there may change his/her mind...

Grzegorz_ is right, you could go to an office called dziekanat, that's where they deal with students' problems.

If they won't be able to help you, try to talk to the dean (dziekan) or the president of the university (rektor). In many universities there is also a person called rektor do spraw studentów, who also deals with problems that concern students.

well thanx for the help! i'll try to contact these ppl and c how it goes! hope i can fix it!

let us know if you manage to arrange it. good luck again

thanx a lot gosiaczek!

Call Kononowicz!
He will help you!

how can I call kononowicz?

That was a stupid joke...

ha ha ha that was so funny!

hey moonsa, how is it going, did you fix it?

well i tried to talk to them but as usual their answer is "it's out of our hand" but i'm still waiting for the last result! hope it will be ok!

if they didn't agree, would you decide to study in Lublin?

well i guess i have to cause there's no other way! oh btw I've heard that in the dormitories in Lublin the kitchen and the bathrooms are common for every one in one floor is that true?

Yes, indeed.

But there are also private dormitories which are more like flats with about 3 rooms, a kitchen and a bathroom (such a dormitory is called Burżuj). They are more expensive but also more comfortable. However, I think may be a bit late to rent a room in a dormitory...

as a matter of fact the dean and the others in Warsaw are playing with us! finally at the meeting which the chose the day of that (1 October) they told us that there is no free place for u! thanx a bunch! if u wanted to say that why did u waste my time??? now i don't even have place in Lublin!!!!

They probably assumed you'd acted as any Polish student in the same situation would (accepted the place in Lublin while trying to get into Warsaw).

And 'no' is almost always the first answer in Poland. It doesn't mean 'no' it means 'convince me'. Always keep talking (asking, pleading, persuading) until they physically run away or have you thrown out. Endurance and persistence counts for a lot here.

True.

yeah i forgot about that! not every one's the same!!!

It seems the admninistrations of most universities are complete shambles. In my department a student is expected to attend 2 different classes and one lecture at the same time and nobody cares. I would like to switch the groups but there is no such possibility! I'm struggling to set my timetable and it's the first time I have begged my teachers to be allowed to attend their classes (which are of course obligatory!).

The recruitment process seems to be a kind of preparation for studing in this mess.

Moonsa, I'm curious how your struggle will finish.

well u know after they told me that there is no place for me(!!!) i didnt have any other choice but to get ready to go to Lublin cause there was no time left! here i attended classes, met ppl, teachers, students and it was completely different from what i thought and of course from Warsaw! in Warsaw it was like everyone wants to eat u with his eyes or it looked so shameful to help other ppl but here they accept u the way u r not the way they want u to be! so when i saw the situation here in Lublin i was kinda thanking god for not letting it to be in Warsaw! i'm so happy here with my new friends, my lovely professors and of course with ppl! im not even gonna try again to be transferred to Warsaw any more!
