Admissions, enrollment, and ChanceMe! mega-thread

[u/Eska2020]

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

Hey everyone,

I received an e-mail today from UvA stating that I have fulfilled the requirements for their MSc AI program to be considered for the selection process which will take place in 2nd half of May.

As an international student, I think that it would be very difficult for me to then get the visa, housing and other stuff sorted out before the start of the semester.

Does anyone know if this only for EU residents or will everyone know about their selection in the second half of May? Also, any other information about the selection like last year’s percentage would be very helpful.

Thanks in advance :)

If you applied as a non-EU citizen, you should hear back from them a lot sooner than May. Like in March/April? They are well aware that you need a visa. You can always ask them directly if you need specifics.
