Graduate School Admission Results

Internal applicant (ETH) from BSc Biology, applied in the first window. Swiss GPA 5.26/6.00. Strong research- and lab experience-focused SoP and a LoR from one of the program tutors.

From a prestigious university in Korea. Double major in biosci & CSE, with BSc + BEng degrees expected but only mediocre GPA. 3 research experiences + 5 projects, a total of 3 yrs, leading 3 of them, but no publication when I applied. 1 part-time job at bio startup. Good motivation letter (showed the development of my research interest), 1 strong RoL from my current supervisor (ETH only explicitly asked 1 RoL so). Very happy to get accepted. No interview for ESOP though.

Undergrad in Computer Science from an Italian university. Good LoRs I think, and was considered the best student among those enrolled in my year.

A waste of time, money and hopes.

I am currently finishing my Bachelor's degree in Cyber Security with a GPA of 3.82 at top 200 university in Europe. 116/120 at TOEFL.

Known German Technical University EE degree. Bad first year grades (3.0, but didn't count to gpa) much better grades afterwards. I chose electives only with regard to my focus on communication engineering: overall 1.7 GPA ,within the best 15%. I put much time for LOR and SOP, half year related industry experience + 1 university internship. IELTS 7.5 . I think my elective grades and my bachelor thesis made it possible. Good Luck for everyone :)

Italian student from Politecnico di Milano, GPA 27.5/30, BSc Mechanical Engineering, No work exp., No research exp., did 6 months exchange in Gemany

Sad

Did my undergrad at a Liberal Arts and Sciences school (honors, cum laude), major in mathematics, took quite some statistics courses (which I passed with really good grades), no GRE because I studied in Europe, strong letters of motivation & rec (I think).

EPFL bachelor in CS, GPA of 5+/6, good motivation letter, I didn't know I could be rejected but nevermind I prefer the master at EPFL, glhf to all !

Italian undergrad from "La sapienza" university. Good GPA (29.7/30), good SoP, 2 LoRs from renowned professors of my institution. No GRE, no publications, no prior research experience.
