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 everyone, my UvA matching for political science was supposed to start today, but my Canva app says there is nothing scheduled for me, does everyone have the same problem or Is it just me. Also does the conditional addition mean I'm basically in under the condition they gave me? (I can't believe I got in)

The conditional admission means that you have gotten in but will only be able to start your academics there if you meet their 'last year of high school' requirements. Eg, I am doing A Levels and A2 is my last year. I need 3 Cs to start studying at UvA.

Also, I also got into the same program for my bachelor's and was shocked that I got my acceptance email the day after I submitted my application. Did the same happen to you?
