University of Amsterdam Applicants 2017

Hi everyone!

How long after registering in Studielink did you get your personal uva-net id? I got it today after more than 3 weeks since registering in Studielink. Is that normal? Is my entire application going to be put to the back of the line and some more waiting even tho it was sent mid January?

Thanks guys!

I got mine a few weeks after too. I had to wait 3 months for a reply about my application but it was because of some glitches in the system.

Omg! 3 months?! Ok that's scary. How did it turn out eventually? Did you get accepted?

Have you heard anything? I haven't yet..

Last week they asked for my highschool graduation exams diploma and for summary of my final thesis (which we do not have on bachelor's sociology course) and since then silence. I'm a bit worried since I dont't have any final thesis written. Did you guys have to write those at the end of your courses?

Hmm interesting... no we don't have thesis's in our department. I submitted a 12 page paper for my writing sample. I haven't heard anything yet and I am going to have to start making other decisions if I don't hear from them soon. I can't wait until May to tell other universities I've been accepted to if I'm attending or not, I also graduate May 13th and need a concrete plan due to moving expenses etc etc so I'm hoping we hear something soon.... but I don't think I'm going to hold my breath. On another site, 'grad cafe' is where people submit their acceptances/rejections. It's mainly for U.S. universities, but UvA is on there, but no Americans have heard anything only international students it says so its not looking too good for me hah:/ I hope you hear something soon though!!

I understand the problem and pressure this situation is causing you. From all I've read I'm starting to think they might be a bit sloppy and slow tho. Don't lose your hopes just yet give it just a bit more time. Did you hear from them after you submitted your application? Did they ask for any extra documents (that means they're at least reading and considering it)? Let me in if you get any reply and I hope I'll see you there!

They haven't asked for any documents nor contacted my letter recommenders for my recommendations :/ just really frustrating and giving me anxiety haha!

But I hope to see you there as well!!

I don't think they actually contact letter recommenders unless there's need for some confirmation or additional information so don't worry about that. You've applied for Sociology master's right? Not research master's like me?

So on myinfo.uva how long have people had to wait whilst the status has showed as 'admission decision' ?

Thanks!
