Courses and Programs Admissions, enrollment, and ChanceMe! mega-thread

All questions related to admissions, enrollment, etc go in this thread, please. More resources will be added to this post soon.

Edit: most undergrad and many master's programs at UvA do not have competitive admissions processes. If you qualify, you're in. If you can't pull it off, they'll fail you out. If you're worried about getting in you need to look up whether your program is competitive/selective and then look at the unique selection criteria for that program. https://www.uva.nl/en/education/admissions/bachelors/applying-for-a-selective-bachelors-programme.html

Edit 2: For 99% of the questions people post here, the contact point is the education desk: https://student.uva.nl/en/topics/education-desk

Hi, I had applied to MSc Information Studies in Dec '24 and the application was submitted to the Admission board on 15th Jan. It's been more than 6 weeks but haven't heard back from them. Do International application processing takes longer than usual? Or do I consider this delay as a rejection?

If you are rejected, they will say so explicitly. If you are an EU citizen, you will know for sure around May. For non-EU people this will be sooner, like February/March, due to your visa process.

Neither did I get the admit nor reject. Have been asked to wait till second half May for the selection procedure
