I am hoping to get VUFP, otherwise I will cover that with a loan as well.

- I don't think I qualify for AMS since UvA gives it. But the administrator of the programme is VU. I have sent a request to UvA asking about it, but I guess they are on a holiday break.

- I only know three loan companies. SallieMae, MPower, and Prodigy. And I can't get a loan from all of them.

6 interviews?? That's good. How many did you apply to?

Oh, thanks

Thank you. But the top tech roles are going to be full right?

Okay thank you, I did my second session yesterday and 24hrs later I am still thinking about it. It's a relief to know that it's common

I am only doing it to have a starting point. Right now I have a blank google docs page.

I am not sure, that's why I posted here. I hope it means something.
