Hey guys! I just got my decision from MTEC. I also got rejected saying that my "qualifications do not fulfil these requirements, and we must therefore refuse your request for admission." Wishing everyone else the best of luck!

I’m guessing theyre one of the last ones to decide! Let’s keep each other updated!

Oh no! I'm so sorry! I'm so surprised that people who got interviews still get rejected! What a way to give false hope Anyway, I wish you great success in your future!

Congratulations and hoping for the best for you! Thanks for the information! Do you mind sharing to us your profile? Also, anybody who applied in MTEC and got news?

According to the Results Search here, there’s been someone who got an interview from MsC Biology already. The interview was last January 30 (is it weird that it was on a Saturday?) Anyway, I’m not so sure if they’ll have a next batch of applicants to interview but I’m thinking this won’t be the case, so just hope for admissions.

By the way! Do you mind sharing to us the interview questions that you got?

ETH-D is another scholarship aside from ESOP, but the budget mainly comes from the ETH-Departments. So it depends on the department you are applying to if they are rich, they can have more than 1 scholar under the ETH-D It's also said to have a "partial" scholarship which just means that the allowance given is slightly less than the ESOP, but I spoke to a former ETH-D (it was called MSP before) Scholar and he said it was still enough to live off of that you don't need to shell out money. I've heard about instances like that wherein people had to take additional courses. To be honest, for me, I think it's not the worst thing to do considering ETH is still very selective of its students. As for my program, they are just requiring some credits that are similar to their BS Mechanical Engineering or BS Electrical Engineering and Information Technology. It's just really confusing because my degree (Manufacturing Engineering) is not that known anywhere really ???

Thanks for the update and I'm really sorry to hear that. Compared to mine, your profile is outstanding and now I am a bit worried (but also hopeful since MTEC does not have a BS equivalent). Did you also take your GRE? Also, I'm pretty sure you will still get admitted right? Why else would they waste time to interview someone who will get rejected anyway? If I were in your shoes, I'd be optimistic!

Congratulations! I applied for the MTEC program, but I have yet to receive any email. Still hoping for the best!
