hi everyone, on july 2nd, i applieed to uni wien MSc Molecular Biology programe and i have a few questions if you can help :)

firstly, it has been 5 weeks now and still havent heard from them (im nonEU btw). Is there anyone in a similar situation? i have emailed them and they just said they review applications chronologically.

aside from that i also got accepted to university of amsterdam MSc biomedical sciences and as you may guess, the process has moved muchsmoother than that of vienna uni. i am atp considering just letting wien go and enrolling fully in UvA but still confused?

do you guys have any recs on either option? Or have you heard from uni wien yet?

Hi all, I'm a non-EU student starting an MSc at UvA this September. I submitted my passport and financial documents to the UvA Immigration Office on 31 May and got a confirmation with a reference number. My diploma verification is complete too. But as of early July, UvA still hasn't submitted my MVV application to the IND, and I'm starting to get anxious about timing before the semester starts.

For those who've been through the UvA immigration process: how long did it take between submitting your documents and UvA actually lodging your MVV/residence permit with the IND? Is early July still normal, or should I be pushing harder? Any advice appreciated.
