Uni-assist deals with hundreds of thousands of applications yearly from various countries. The documents submitted to uni-assist are heterogenous, and there is no international standard for the documents they must assess. This situation requires a vast amount of manual work. Candidates who submitted their application towards the end of the application period may have to wait longer for their documents to be forwarded to FU Berlin. Such a delay does not negatively affect your application. Your case will be considered equally. There is nothing the FU Berlin or the admission committee can do to speed up the process until the applications are screened by uni-assist. We are asking for your understanding. To help speed up the process for everyone, make sure your documents and scans are of high quality, and you give proper names for your files before uploading.
