med_za Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 We are again nearing the dreaded time of the year when interview invites are sent out for the ETH Excellence Scholarship and Opportunity Program. As my first choice school I am really hoping to get an interview... Has anyone heard anything yet?
weaver159 Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 How do you know that the interview invites for the scholarship are sent at the present time? I haven't even heard anything about the admission let alone for the scholarship. I am applying for Electrical Engineering. First choice.
med_za Posted January 29, 2015 Author Posted January 29, 2015 Just based on when interviews were sent last year. There was a previous thread where one of the posters received the scholarship. They had an interview at around about this time (28th January).
weaver159 Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Did you receive a mail that the ESOP application is forwarded to the respective department, simillar to the one about the application to the program? I didn't not receive one, and I am kind of worried whether my esop application is going to be reviewed.
med_za Posted January 30, 2015 Author Posted January 30, 2015 I got this email: "We herewith acknowledge receipt of your application for the Excellence Scholarship and Opportunity Programme (ESOP). We do NOT check your documents for completeness. The Admissions Committee of the Master's degree programme you applied for is going to evaluate your application soon. The result will be communicated by e-mail approximately three months after the application deadline. Please note that the scholarship decision will be sent to you separately from the admissions decision. Sincerely, ETH Zurich, Scholarship Office"
CosimoPiovasco Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 I applied for the MSc in Process Engineering but I haven't heard anything yet about ESOP after the email you've pasted above... Let's wait!
kennelcrash Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Has anybody received a response regarding the admission yet?
Vishakh Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 I don't think it will be out until the end of this month.
kennelcrash Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 I don't think it will be out until the end of this month. The ESOP results or the admission decision? Because in the post from last year there are people who got their admittance answer around the middle of February.
med_za Posted February 10, 2015 Author Posted February 10, 2015 Well first person has posted their admission results on the Results Search (yesterday). It shouldn't be too long before the next bunch of results come out.
kennelcrash Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Well first person has posted their admission results on the Results Search (yesterday). It shouldn't be too long before the next bunch of results come out. Where did you see that?
med_za Posted February 11, 2015 Author Posted February 11, 2015 Just search under "ETH". Seems that there have been two admissions for Computer Science. http://www.thegradcafe.com/survey/
CosimoPiovasco Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 I'va just received by post the letter of admission. I was not granted a ESOP a but they decided to give me a department scholarship with an assistantship offer. I applied for the MSc in Process Engineering.
Vishakh Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 I've applied to the masters program in CS. No word yet about being admitted to their program. Can the guys who got their admits paste the email they received from ETH (after removing any personal content)? Thanks!
kennelcrash Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Are they always sending a notification email that they are ready with the decision and that they will send you the letter response?
CosimoPiovasco Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 No email was sent to me! I only received the letter this morning. (I live in Italy, it is not so far away from Zurich, maybe if you live in other places, more time is likely to be needed) Vishakh 1
weaver159 Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Did anyone who applied to Electrical Engineering received any response?
tudor Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 I had the interview for the ESOP on February 11th. I'm not sure, but I think my interviewer mentioned that the last day for ESOP interviews is next Sunday. I applied for Physics Master, first choice.
mikibene Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 I haven't heard anything about the ESOP nor the admission, still a little worried about it though. However as someone posted last year I would say that no interview is the same as a rejection. Anyway, did anyone hear anything about Mechanical Engineering? Thank you very much!
jmlribeiro Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 I also had the interview for the ESOP on February 11th. I applied to the MSc in Computer Science (Theoretical Computer Science). The professor said he was going to recommend me for the scholarship.
Gamler Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 I'va just received by post the letter of admission. I was not granted a ESOP a but they decided to give me a department scholarship with an assistantship offer. I applied for the MSc in Process Engineering. Would you mind telling how does the letter of department scholarship look like? Did they mention it in the letter of admission or in a separated letter?
mikibene Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 I guess that no one has received any info about the scholarship yet, to those who had the interview, could you please tell us if they said any relevant about the ESOP? or about its deadlines? Thanks a million! Btw and offtopic: I haven't seen any result on the survey page from Mechanical Engineering Masters and I am started to get really anxious, I hope they release some admits or rejects soon in case they haven't yet.
