JunoKreisler Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Hey all! Anyone here waiting for the admissions decision for Computational Biology and Bioinformatics? Also, if anyone's wondering about ESOP interviews for D-BIOL, the interview invitation can come just a few days before its scheduled date. Every department organizes their ESOP admissions independently, so experiences from different departments might not really apply to your cases (source: ETH students) I wish everyone here best of luck and success in studies!

anneit Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 I just got an invitation for ESOP interview this morning. It is for the Environmental Science Master's program. If I have been invited for an ESOP interview, is it safe to think that they will invite me to the program too? Wishing everyone the best of luck in this application season! azzazz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure but getting ESOP interview invitation means that you are competitive candidate and definitely have a strong profile. Getting into ETH Zurich is definitely difficult, approximately 27%. Getting ESOP scholarship is far more challenging like 0.5% if not less. Hope this helps. Wish you good luck! anneit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the acceptance rate of 27% for the CS department or whole of ETH? If it is for whole of ETH then would you know whether it is lesser for the CS dept?

Don't worry too much about GRE. I think CS department in general is slower. You definitely deserve ESOP. I think at least studying at ETH Zurich is affordable and I'm thinking to find some remote job while studying at ETH as an alternative . zuluzazu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah ETH is quite affordable as the tuition fees is quite less. I have a MSML admit from CMU but dont think I will go with it if I get in ETH even without ESOP. In CMU my expenses would be around 100k USD which is very very costly. azzazz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I applied for MPhil in Machine Learning and Machine Intelligence at Cambridge. I had an interview and was recommended waiting for PAO final decision. Applied for Gates Cambridge scholarship.

Is doing a remote job along with ETH masters feasible. I have heard from my seniors that ETH coursework is quite tough to get good grades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think EU is more peaceful place much closer to my country. I'm still not completely certain whether I prefer ETH or Cambridge. In my country there is a full scholarship for master's degree for students who wonna study abroad and I plan to apply for it. Cost doesn't matter. I also consider applying for TUM if none of them will work out.  zuluzazu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
