peanutjellyfish Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 They are still going through applications so if you haven't heard anything yet, it is not a bad sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claésia Costa Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 When do they send the email? First march week? I did apply too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My hope is lost :/ I was contacted by someone from one of the labs I specified I was interested in. All they asked for was a time to schedule the interview. I imagine each of the labs would work on their own schedule before the general deadline, so don't lose hope just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutjellyfish Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) Don't lose hope! My lab of interest told me they had just gotten to my application, so it means they're still going through everything. I agree with touchwood that each lab is at a different point in the decision making process. People in the past have been accepted around March 4 without any interview, too.

Claésia Costa Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I thought the interview was a mandatory part of the selection. What labs/professor did you indicate in the application? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

super_nova Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Thanks for letting us know what correspondence you have received so far. I didn't receive any email from EPFL yet. I know there are still some time, but I am kind of losing hope now, since I am a Masters students I have less chance of selection anyway...

peanutjellyfish Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 Why do MS students have less of a chance? I got an interview. Does anyone know reject/accept rates post-interview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why exactly do Masters students have less of a chance? BTW, did any of the people who got the interviews try to contact Profs/ PhD candidates before/ after applying?

peanutjellyfish Posted February 25, 2018 Author Share Posted February 25, 2018 Interview request for me was simply a request to set up a skype call. The call went well! We talked about our research interests, my background, the lab's research plans. Will hear back next week (obviously since deadline for decision is next Sunday) on decision.

Read or skim the professor's papers beforehand and know your own projects well. I'm so excited to be in Lausanne this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
