ETH Zurich Computer Science Graduate School Admission Results

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 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!

2 years of research experience. Third author in a CoRL publication. Kind of disappointed, but I could’ve written a clearer SoP

No GRE, no research experience, coming from an Italian highly ranked University

I was just informed that I received the Excellence Scholarship & Opportunity Programme (ESOP). I'm over the moon.

ETH excellence scholarship rejected

Haven't received official offer letter. For those who received official offer letter, are there any specific conditions that I should worry about (course requirements etc.)?

The withdrawal buttom disappear.
