Well, Fuck you ETH. The admissions committee of the Department has carefully weighed the qualifications, competences and level of mastery you document in your application for admission to the Robotics, Systems, and Control MSc programme against this programme's profile of requirements. Unfortunately, the committee has decided that your qualifications do not fulfil these requirements, and we must therefore reject your application.

Casual ETH only looking at the GPA without evaluating any other element of the application.
