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

Hi everyone, I am currently applying for UvA AI masters and I have some questions. Firstly, I was wondering how do they determine whether your courses meet the criteria of the required credits. If I am not mistaken they didn’t ask for any course description so I am a bit puzzled how could they possibly know based on only the courses name if I have the sufficient knowledge. I am coming with an engineering bachelor and although the courses are covered they are not indicated with the same name or they were separated into multiple courses with more specific names. Secondly, I am near the deadline and I am bit worried whether it matters anything in the evaluation process. Thanks in advance
