Applied to ESOP/MSP, accepted to MSP. No interview. Undergraduate from HIT, China. Several Chinese offer holders also reported MSP acceptances today, looks like ETH raised the number of scholarships this year.

No ESOP, no MSP.

BSc from an okay university in China, strong LORs, 1st in class, lots of academic awards. No publications. Yes, my GRE f*cked me up

Has anyone from CS receieved a positive answer for their ESOP/MSP application?

Still no word on ESOP and MSP though.

Had 2 years Work experience. 4 projects during undergrad. Nothing worth a paper or publication. It was anyways very ambitious for my standards. Application procedure was not easy. Please dont apply unless you have 330+ and if you are in top 5% of your class.

For a post below, I think there is a facebook group for fall 16 admits. Let's go ahead and create one for fall 17 admits?

M.Sc. in Germany M.Sc. in France B.Sc. in China
