I speak Danish and Norwegian myself, so can't be 100% certain of this, but it seems correct.
I agree, it could be Swedish. My native language is Finnish and I do speak a little bit Swedish also but both of those words are out of my Swedish vocabulary.

Quick check with dictionary: Intagning = student selection. No idea about "gullis".
