With a fellowship, had an interview mid-January

one interview in mid-January that went quite well

No GRE. Past research experience. Non-AI/ML, which should narrow down my field significantly in today's day and age.

Received the mail from EPFL-EDIC for admit with fellowship.

system track

Area: Biomedical/clinical AI + generative AI. Extensive research experience (multiple labs around the world) and publications: 3+ A* (with ICLR; multiple first authors), 5+ A/B tier conferences (all first author), and 7+ workshop papers at A*. LORs were very strong. Negative aspects: 3rd World Country, non-CS Bachelors, low GPA. Wondering if they’ve even opened my application.

1 interview - which went fairly well tbh. Anyway

Generic rejection, no specific comments at all. Received on Feb 5 Switzerland time but I can't go beyond Feb 4. My application is fairly competitive but EPFL was definitely a reach, so it's not surprising. No GRE.
