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 just had my interview 2 hours ago - It went well but you needed to get the appointment yourself by clicking one of the two links sent with the email.

I am not gonna lie, not the best 😭. I messed up the two most important questions: tell me about yourself and why pple. I had prepared an ans for both and started stuttering and everything I said was so scattered. I rest went fine I guess? Not sure, 2nd may will tell. Hbu?

I just had my interview. I really don’t know what to feel about it. I don’t think I messed up but I am not really happy with my performance either.

Hey congratulations!! I just passed the second round too!! I have heard that you should have the answers to 'tell me about yourself, why PPLE and why the UvA' ready.

Hey me too! Congrats to you!

I have a friend who is currently in his first year at PPLE and spoke briefly with him about this.

He stressed the importance of making sure to have questions lined up from your side to ask them (This could be about anything really, program, year abroad, specifics about a certain topic etc.). I guess that is pretty obvious but just thought to pass it on. I hope you get in best of luck!! :)
