itaouil Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Sup everyone, My name is Elia and I applied for a Master in Robotics, Systems and Control at ETH. I also applied for the ESOP scholarship. I thought it would be nice to start a new thread for this year's waiting process, in order to share our interviews (if any), advice, etc. Let's see if this works PravSil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itaouil Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 Hi Long and AbdulBasit, Sorry for my late reply . I did not receive an email regarding your replies, hehe. Nice. Anyone got any news? I spoke with few people who got the ESOP regarding the interview process, and their interview was late January early February. What are your backgrounds? Btw, there has been a serious typo on my first message, my name is Ilyass . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-L Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Is it possible to get an interview for the ESOP but then receiving a rejection letter for the master program? Or is that if we get the interview invitation we are pretty much certain that we get accepted for the master program? Anyone has any idea about this?

I think they first select x candidates (which should be the ones getting the ESOP) and they carry out the interviews. Unless some of them screws badly, I reckon they should get it. However, there have been people who got ESOP without interviewing. So I guess it varies a lot. You got an interview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I had my interview on the 22nd. I applied to the Earth Science MS. Also, do you know if they send out acceptance letters separately (for master and ESOP) or do they send together at mid March? I saw people in the forum saying they got master acceptance but haven't heard about ESOP in the threads in previous years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of days of gap, I guess. Can I ask what kind of questions they asked you, and how long was it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I ask what kind of questions they asked you, and how long was it? It was 30 mins in length, the questions they asked were pretty much the same as what people mentioned in the threads for previous years, about the thesis proposal you wrote and some questions about the area of research you are interested in. I guess there isn't really a "list of questions" they were suppose to ask, but rather it's more individually based questions according to the materials you submitted. They also asked about other schools you applied to and how would you put eth in the ranking order of preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
