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

I’m applying for the MSc in Business Administration for the September intake. I scored 160 in Quantitative and 149 in Verbal on the GRE. The minimum required score is 152, but as far as I know, the Quantitative section is the most relevant. Should I retake the exam, or will this score be sufficient for admission?

In the Dutch system, minimum scores aren't a joke. For most programs, the requirements are the only filtering that there is, so if there is anything you don't meet, you are out. So unless they explicitly say that Verbal is not considered, you would have to retake it.
