  1. Mine never disappeared, I checked every day before I got the rejection. I wouldn't pay any attention to it.
  2. Rejected this morning for D-HEST admission. Well, that was a waste of 150 CHF. Thanks all for wishing me well nonetheless. Good luck to the rest of you guys, and hope everyone hears some news soon!
  3. I've only read up on the posts from recent years and it seems that it's the same interview for ESOP and ETH-D/MSP. The best candidates are selected for ESOP and the next best candidates for the ETH-D, which decisions are released after ESOP. They might have awarded people without interviewing years ago but now I really doubt they would offer ETH-D, let alone ESOP, without an interview first. I think it's important to take note of the wording of the emails they send out because it may state rejection for ESOP only (and you still have a chance of ETH-D when those results are released some days afterwards) or say rejection for both ESOP and ETH-D outright. Hope this helps!
  4. Sure, they were pretty standard interview questions like why did you choose ETH, why this programme, where do you see yourself working in the future, and then just a quick chat about the preproposal
  5. I found out anyway that I should know about admission by the end of February, so it's not too long a wait at least.
  6. I was told in my interview that the selection committee will be evaluating the D-HEST applications next week. Reading through the forum in the previous years it seems that interviews were run during different weeks for the different departments.
  7. Yes I think so. My department are doing interviews this week and the following week the selection committee is reviewing the ESOP applications. All scholarship decisions for all programmes are communicated by mid to end of March, so interviews will probably be done before the end of February, at the absolute latest.
  8. No worries Were there any specific credits prerequisites for that programme? Thank you for the encouragement, I still have my fingers crossed for the admission. I think it will be close because I'm definitely missing above 20 of the prerequisite credits, maybe even 30, depending how they count them (Despite having a total 240 ECTS from my Bachelor ?). They may admit me with additional course requirements. The track I have chosen within D-HEST is closely aligned with my Bachelor degree so I think that is what will stand to me. It's annoying because my Bachelor is already very specialised and related to the Master track but I am missing a lot of the 'natural science' and math foundation ETH is looking for in undergrads. I will have to wait and see what happens. - No GRE as I have a Bachelor from an EU country.
  9. Interview update... Due to the fact I have an international Bachelor degree and I am missing some of the important prerequisites for D-HEST (Math, and enough physics), I found out that I have very slim chance of ESOP or ETH-D. Apparently Bachelor course content is favoured quite heavily by the selection committee no matter how excellent a student you are, as virtually all ESOP recipients in D-HEST come from the ETH Bachelor stream. I have heard similar things for BME. I was extremely confident with my pre-proposal and asked if it weighs much on the scholarship selection, and no not really (for international D-HEST applicants anyway), it largely depends on what courses you have taken in the Bachelor and if they are very closely aligned with those of the ETH Bachelor equivalent. To put things in perspective I am ranked in the top 7% of my Bachelor programme, was a research assistant at ETH for a semester during my Bachelor, strong LORs and LOM, strong pre-proposal (and in line with the research groups work), no publications. I worked incredibly hard on my ESOP application so I am quite disappointed, but at least I was given a shot with the interview ?‍♀️ Not even sure if I still have a chance with admission in general. ? Hope you guys have better chance with the other programmes, hopefully they are not as stringent
  10. Hey guys! ? I'm wondering if anyone else has applied for the MIEM scholarship for the BME Paris Master programme? Or is anyone thinking of applying?
  11. For MSc acceptance, yes. Last year ESOP awardees were notified on the 10th of March and ETH-D was 17th March. Regarding scholarships, I think it depends year to year. On the ETH website it says there are approx 60 ESOP and approx 30 ETH-D for 2021/22.
  12. Hi everyone ? I applied for MSc in Health Science and Technology and ESOP/ETH-D. Just got word of an interview for ESOP next week! Good luck to all ?
