Thank you!

Here is the email I received:

Dear candidate

The internal committee of the department of Mechanical and Process Engineering is going to evaluate some candidates for the nomination for the Excellence Scholarship.

There is the possibility that you will be among these candidates.

The possible interview will take place on Monday 25, February 2019 between 13.30 – 16.30 o’clock (Zurich time) via skype.

If you are interested, please reserve this date and send us your skype email address asap.

More information about the schedule and the interview will follow.

Best regards

 Dr. Maddalena Velonà

 

I targeted my application to professors in the Automatic Controls Lab working on distributed systems, though I didn't mention a professor's name in particular in my ESOP application (I did in the RSC application). 

So I guess I'll be waiting on my laptop at an absurd time of the day (East Coast North America) on the 25th.

Hi, how did your interview go? Did you get a confirmation?

Hi, would you mind sharing the course you applied for? Thanks ?

Hi, I applied for Computer Science (Information Systems emphasis line)

I feel exactly the same. Even if ESOP belongs to person who had an interview, I believe that there will be a couple of MSP with assistantship. Hovewer, my hopes for any type of funding are very-very little.

Thank you so much for sharing your feelings. Now I have nearly totally lost hope and finally decided to attend another M.Sc. program at Perimeter Institute. I have no way because I can not afford the thrilling expense for studying at ETHZ for 2~3 years.

 

But still, I plan to contact some professors at ETHZ and to try to apply for a Ph.D. next year after graduation from PI. I really wish to explore my research career in Europe and I think ETHZ will be the best choice for me to start with.

I sent an email about the notification date and they replied:

“Dear student

Midd/end of March you should get an email with the decision.

 

Best regards

D. Handloser”

 

No new information. Has ESOP meeting taken place?

Hey guys. I applied for Robotics System and Control Master Program and I took the interview for ESOP which only took 11 minutes(so actual core talks were about 9 minutes). 

I am actually wondering how good students applying to ETH Zurich are because I might not be able to enter this year due to my military service and am thinking of taking risk of having to reapply later years. 

 

If I got an offer for an ESOP interview, then does that imply that I was one of the top applicants or at least the school thought I am good enough?

Hi guys, just so you know, I asked them about when the results will be announced for ESOP and they told me this :

""""

Dear student

The decision for the Excellence Scholarship comes next week. The decision from the MSP end of March. 

So please have a little patience. 

Best regards

Don't you consider deferring the offer? I do not think the ETH will want to waste time and energy re-checking the ones that have already been recognized, accepted and approved during the last year... Also, after all, your situation is somewhat compulsory, and they should be able to offer reasonable help on this.

I just received a mail stating that I have been awarded ESOP for MSc in Computer Science. So I guess you guys can expect results today.

[physicsnav]

I just received an email indicating I have been awarded an ESOP for the Autumn semester.

Hope the best for all.

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone want to connect via Whatsapp/fb etc? I would also like to start looking for flatmates for flatshare  pls pm me if interested!

[vphys]

@physicsnav Congratulations mate! What is your background? What was you MSc thesis pre-proposal about?

[hthi]

@hannar, @physicsnav: At which time did you receive the email? 

[Anonymus_Phys]

Received an email 20 minutes ago. My application for both ESOP and MSP was refused. As expected.

Good luck for everyone who is still waiting for the decision!

[Juliesyue]

Anyone in this forum also got into Environmental Science? It would be nice to connect before school if you’d like.

[pulobo]

Same for me, refused for both ESOP and MSP, 25 min ago.

Btw, did anyone create a Whatsapp chat for incoming students?

[cbrookie]

rejected for ESOP/MSP.

ETH is really my top choice but the living expenses bring me big financial difficulty. Do you guys have any suggestions on TA/RA opportunities? (especially for english speakers)

[capitalist]

Welp, I haven't heard anything today yet... 

I hope I get an email soon because the tension is getting a hold of me

Which program did you apply to? I haven’t heard anything today either and I’m in Environmental Science.

I applied to quantum engineering. Nice to know I'm not the only one waiting still.

[JerryChen97]

I still did not receive anything related to ESOP/MSP...

Hope for a quicker rejection... I just need a settle-down for preparing my thesis

@JerryChen97 Any news guys? I am still waiting for my ESOP/MSP decision both for Physics MSc and HEP MSc.... I am quite anxious...Would I have received rejection if my documents had some problem(paranoia ?)??
