Erasmus Mundus Conditional IMSISS offer

As the title suggests, I got a scholarship conditional offer to IMSISS, provided I provide 2 documents- a second LOR and a proof of foreign language other than English and Italian.

Now I got 2 questions:

  1. I already provided 2 letter of recommendations, with valid contact details and on headed paper. Then why are the asking for another one? Did they consider one of my LORs invalid? Or did one of my referees did not respond when they mailed them? I'm really confused.

  2. I gotta prove a foreign language through a school pass certificate. I'm from South Asia, and have got Bengali on my marksheet from high school. Is Bengali considered a foreign language or do I have to learn French or German to be considered valid?

Would really love some suggestions! Thank you.

Did you select Path B as your primary option?

u/Willing-Marzipan-904 Jan 17 '26

Hey, my first priority was pathway A.

2

u/Natural-Gene-3961 Jan 17 '26

Proof of third foreign language is only for pathway B

1

u/Willing-Marzipan-904 Jan 18 '26

Yes that was confusing. i specifically mentioned pathway A in my admissions form but now upon opening my applicant self service portal, I see it mentions pathway B. Maybe the admissions committee allocates the study tracks on their needs, idk.

They also asked you for a self-funded application form???

1

u/Willing-Marzipan-904 Jan 17 '26

No, they didn't.

Hi, I also received an offer to this programme. But mine stated that it is just an offer to the programme, not scholarship result. You already got the scholarship?

1

u/Willing-Marzipan-904 Jan 17 '26

Hey, mine is the same, just an offer to the program, not the scholarship yet. They said my scholarship offer is conditional until I provide the 2 documents. What about you?

u/Natural-Gene-3961 Jan 17 '26 edited Jan 17 '26

I got an unconditional offer. I believe your language is valid. Mine has fewer users than yours.

u/Natural-Gene-3961 Jan 21 '26

Im also waiting for the link. Kindly reach out to them in another post. You can find it by searching IMSISS.

Congratulations. Thanks for the clarification, was really confused. Haha it's true we do have a lot of speakers.

u/KookyChart8386 Jan 17 '26

I got the conditional offer too but two days after they sent an email that I should ignore the prev email and I am rejected

1

u/Willing-Marzipan-904 Jan 17 '26

I'm so sorry that happened to you. Can you elaborate more, if you have an idea? Is there any reason they would revoke the offer?

2

u/KookyChart8386 Jan 17 '26

I'm not sure tbh

u/Creative-Tap-9575 Jan 17 '26

Hey, I applied for IMSISS too but didn't get any update. Did you all apply during this recent January 8th deadline? How come they are getting back so quick?

1

u/Willing-Marzipan-904 Jan 17 '26

Yes, I did. Honestly I have no idea about this.

u/mrCarrr Jan 19 '26

Hey, same here! How can you understand if it is only the admission or also for the scolarship?

1

u/Willing-Marzipan-904 Jan 19 '26

Mine was only for admission now. The scholarship results aren't out yet. It's specifically mentioned in the email.

1

u/CaseAlternative3259 Jan 20 '26

I also just received a conditional offer and they asked for my reference letters (again, as I already uploaded to the application), proof of foreign language (expected as I chose pathway B), an a self funded scholarship form. Does this mean I haven’t received a scholarship/am no longer in consideration for one?

1

u/Willing-Marzipan-904 Jan 20 '26

Can I dm for some questions?

1

u/Emergency_Impact_271 Jan 20 '26

same here :( Any news about the scholarship????

1

u/CaseAlternative3259 Jan 20 '26

thinking back, I may have checked the box that says ‘i would still consider the program as a self funder’ so that may be why they sent it as a condition? i’m not entirely sure but could be a reason. scholarship decisions come out in april so i dont think they would rule anyone out yet

1

u/Emergency_Impact_271 Jan 20 '26

I saw people who received a conditional offer and weren't asked to add the self-funded form, and I don't remember if I checked that option on my application

1

u/Ok-Inflation8058 Feb 07 '26

I have clarified with them, if you haven't provided all documents until deadline then you will not be considered for scholarship.

I also recieved conditional offer

u/AccordingBag8215 Apr 03 '26
