dhivyabharathi Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Anyone who have received MSc CS admit in ETHZ and are accepting it?
Kleene Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 I haven't heard from ETH yet. I will probably be the last to hear, as the grad office forwarded my application really late (Jan 8) because they thought there was something wrong with my transcripts. I am not sure about accepting it yet. You have quite some applications still pending as well. Was ETH your first choice?
dhivyabharathi Posted February 14, 2014 Author Posted February 14, 2014 Yes, it is If I could get ESOP
Kleene Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 I hope you will get it. I didn't apply for it since I did not have a research proposal. What if you don't get it?
Kleene Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 By the way, has your status on the website changed?
Kleene Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 I got my admit today. Maybe I'll see you in Zurich in September.

Kleene Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Congrats ! so has your status on the website changed? Lol, I wondered when someone would ask. But no, it has not changed.
dhivyabharathi Posted February 19, 2014 Author Posted February 19, 2014 I got my admit today. Maybe I'll see you in Zurich in September. Congrats!! any info on ESOP?
Kleene Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Congrats!! any info on ESOP? Not that I know of. I have not applied for it, since I did not have a research proposal. I hope to get my funding from other sources.
Pisanu Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Hi all, I also applied to ETH and got accepted, but my programme is Computational Biology though. I definitely want to go there in September but it would be difficult without a scholarship. Though I applied for ESOP, it is extremely competitive so I do not expect to get it. Anyone knows other sources of funding after starting the programme? The website says that it is possible to do an assistantship for 600 CHF/month but I want to know how likely to get it. Somebody also said that the scholarship can be awarded after the first year, but how much? Can I survive for two years if I have only 10000 CHF with me at the beginning of the programme then find other sources of funding later? Would it be too risky?

I'm not sure about the exact amount, but there is a scholarship offered for the second year of your master's. According to ETH, a student is expected to spend about 22000 CHF per year (tuition +living cost).
