ETH Zurich Data Science Graduate School Admission Results

So happy about the admission ! No word regarding my corresponding ESOP & MSP application though. Best of luck to everybody else. If you get rejected, remember that it is on your hands to not lose hope and find your unique way through life. You can always play your cards right ;)

Is it the case that for the applicants whose withdraw button has disappeared are likely to get a rejection mail. As the trend in the forum suggests the same.Anyone with an exception at ETH whose withdraw button was disappeared but got accepted ?

TTPsB: did you receive the notification today? When? Please share more info! Thanks!

I think the withdraw button disappearing means that they processed your application and you can't withdraw it anymore. I doubt it is an indicator of acceptance/rejection, just that you're going to get results soon.

Withdraw button disappeared. Not sure if it's an indication of anything.

Reply below. Disappearance of withdraw button only means that the result of your application will come out soon(under review). My Observation: Rejections come earlier than Admissions. If your button disappears but you dont get any notification now. It still the good news then wait and pray. If admission you will get the email but sometimes the emaill could also come late after admission and the withdraw button will show again.

I applied for the direct doctorate and the withdraw button is gone since last friday I believe. No responses so far.

I had already posted here when I got the admission email. Got official letter today, it was sent on the 21st of Feb. I live in central Italy. Should I stop hoping for MSP / ESOP? I haven't seen anything about it for the RSC masters...

Withdraw button disappeared and then I got a response on the same day. No info about ESOP/MSP.

Where can I find the withdraw button in the application portal? Do you mean in https://www.lehrbetrieb.ethz.ch/eApply/ ?

Please let us know if you’ve heard about your ESOP application. That’d be very helpful! Thanks! :D

This is probably the most upsetting thing that happened to me recently (among a lot of other upsetting stuff...). My background: UC Berkeley undergrad majoring in environmental science. GPA 3.7/4.0. GRE V160/Q169. I did some research for two years. OK SOP. One good (I suppose) recommendation letter from a Berkeley faculty member whom I have been working with. From what I read from past posts, I know ETH probably is just looking for a great GPA. Although a 3.7 is not particularly excellent, it is unlikely a dealbreaker. I wouldn't say my SOP is great, but it should be ok since it was good enough to get me into a Ph.D. program in the States. The research experience may not seem outstanding (no publications). However, I doubt this is an important part when it comes to the admission process at ETH. The only possible reason I can think of is that our courses required for environmental science major at Berkeley do not match well with those at ETH (again there is a lot of flexibility in interpreting the substances of the courses). Apparently, the fact that Berkeley is ranked No.1 (arguably) in the field did not make up for it. And also that thing about the withdraw button... According to the if the button first disappears and then shows up again it is likely an admission. Nonetheless, this was not the case for me. My withdraw button disappeared on Feb. 12th and came back to the application portal on March 4th. It made me think I was about to get in. Then on the morning of March 11th, I received a rejection email. Perhaps I will never find out why. Anyway given that this is a school I have been dreaming about going for almost two years, I am thinking about appealing the decision but have not found any info on that process. I read there is such a process for a couple of other schools in Switzerland. If anyone knows anything about the appeal process at ETH, please share it with me. Thank you! And I hope this post would be useful for future applicants.

Anybody heard about the ESOP? Offered a place but I haven't received any information regarding it, does this mean that I have been rejected?

Accepted to the program at March 4th, awarded ESOP today (March 18th).

Accepted for ESOP via email, notified a letter is on its way as well.

Application accepted for my Master's Degree in Biomedical Engineering (track Bioelectronics) yeaaaah!
