Full scholarship offered. Had 2 first-author published works and strong supervisor support

CMT

Four years of research experience with two first-author papers and two co-author papers.

Alot of research - in 3 international labs but with just a 4th author publication, and 2 conferences, with average grades and in my 2nd PhD apps cycle. Good fit with potential PI who is interviewing me!

Emailed to check the status.

Applied to the school, accepted as eligible to do a PhD and told to find a matching supervisor. A supervisor reached out to me over email in mid-November before I was notified by EPFL about eligibility into the program. Honours degree from Australia with a 7.000/7.000 GPA, three research projects as coursework, one winter research scholarship, and an honours project. No Masters degree, no published papers, and no GRE.
