Dear Campus-Center,
My application BW-1635234 has the status "admission offer not currently possible". I am in the non-EU category, my rank is 42 and there are currently only 6 eliminated applications. Since the places according ZZVO is 15, the eliminated applications need to be at least 27 for me to be admitted. Is my understanding correct?
Also, I have read that the historical cut-off rankings for B.Sc. Informatik is around 2.5. My grade is 1.2, but why is my rank so low? Are there other reasons that contributed to my low ranking, or are the historical cut-off rankings different for non-EU applicants?
Thank you very much for your reply.
Kind regards,
Yuqi Chew

Re: Ranking
Hey Yuqi,
yes, 27 applications need to be eliminated to be offered an admission.
If your ranking is low even with a great grade, it's not something unusual. Many applicants apply for this university. But you need to remember your ranking won't change. If you want calculate your current ranking, use [your ranking] - [eliminated applications] = [your current ranking].
There are several reasons why applications are eliminated. Some applicants decide to accept the offer of another university, some revoke their application...
The 2.5 cut-off is the NC of the shortlisted applicant. The applicant was offered a chance because they didn't get any admission from all of their applications. They decided to join the move-up-process (?). The NC of applicants, who received an instant offer, is less than 2.5.

Re: Ranking
Dear Yuqi Chew,
1) I would advise you to read the information regardign the DoSV on our website (https://www.uni-hamburg.de/campuscenter ... heide.html) as well as the DoSV FAQ (https://www.uni-hamburg.de/campuscenter ... -dosv.html).
2) "Since the places according ZZVO is 15, the eliminated applications need to be at least 27 for me to be admitted. Is my understanding correct?"
I am not sure what exactly you mean by "eliminated".
The first 15 applicants in the ranking have received an admission offer ("Zulassungsangebot") or admission ("Zulassung"), depending on the specific constellation of their applications. If an admitted applicant does not accept the admission by submitting the application for enrollment within the enrollment deadline, or if the application for enrollment is not successful, the next applicant in the ranking receives an admission offer or an admission. Furthermore, since it is possible in the DoSV to apply for multiple degree programs at multiple universities applicants can be removed from the ranking at any time, if they receive an admission or an admission offer by a different university or for a different degree program.
3) "I have read that the historical cut-off rankings for B.Sc. Informatik is around 2.5"
This is not the relevant information for you.
You read the information regarding the EU quota, which has different selection criteria than the non-EU quota (see https://www.uni-hamburg.de/bonuspunkte).
The list with the information regarding application procedures of the past years for the non-EU-quota are available in the following document: https://www.uni-hamburg.de/campuscenter ... cht-eu.pdf.
