- Notes
- "This decision was based on art. 16 al. 2 let. b of the Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology Act [RS 414.110] and art. 15, 16 and 17 of the Ordinance on Admission to the EPFL [RS 414.131.53] or on current export control regulations." A very unprofessional way to say "We only cared about your non-EU university's prestige and your GPA." Profile: Two strong LORs, one being from a former EPFL professor, who is the best in their field. One submitted paper for an A* conference. 1+ years of undergrad research experience. 3 months of research internship at a very prestigious research institute in Europe, and an incoming research internship at another very prestigious research institute in Europe. An exchange semester at a top research uni in the Netherlands, with term average 9.1/10 (Dutch grading). Among the 10% of the students (by GPA) from a top uni in my country. Ranked 1st in class of 100+ students in multiple CS courses.
