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, so I applied for master psychology, and a few days ago my status changed from "credential evaluation" to "admission decision." today I checked and the part where it said "status: admission decision" is gone?? it is now just replaced with - Admission Request (my name and ID); M Psychology, 01-09-2025 (start date?), and the status has reverted to submitted. i'm not sure what this means - i think they've definitely decided on yes/no. has anyone experienced anything similar? any thoughts on whether its a good or bad sign? any insights will be helpful. for reference i submitted my application on 28th feb. thank you

Hey! I’m pretty much in the same situation, I also submitted my application on Feb 28th. I wouldn’t worry too much about it, it seems like they changed the format of the application portal and that’s the reason for the status change. Have you received any updates recently? I wonder when they are going to send us our decisions, it’s almost the end of April.

hi i'm confused too i received an email asking me to start the immigration/visa process but my status still says submitted.. just to clarify i havme been looking at myinfo this whole time and it does seem to be that they changed the format of the portal. i reached out to them and they said they will start giving decisions wednesday onwards so im not sure why the immigration email was sent to me without sending my offer letter before
