ETH Zurich Data Science Graduate School Admission Results

5.8 GPA from University of Zurich Informatics BSc

First Class Math & Stats degree from one of the G5, 1+ year in the industry as a data analyst with projects and experiences in machine learning. Always heard that GPA matters a lot to them but didn't expect to this extent..

CS undergrad at a Chinese university. The rejection letter (PDF on portal) said the following: "Thank you very much for having applied to our University. We regret to inform you that your application to the Data Science MSc programme at ETH Zurich has not been successful. Attendance of this Master's degree programme presupposes basic and subject-specific knowledge and competences (discipline requirements profile). A very good performance in the preceding degree programme is also required. An examination of your dossier by the Admissions Committee of the degree programme indicates that your performance does not sufficiently fulfil the criteria set out in the discipline requirements profile." I think it could be because my background and finished courses don't sufficiently match the requirements of data science (my research experience is in computer systems). Best of luck to others.

CS student from top private university in India. Working as a quant since 1.5 years. Research intern at top Singapore university.

TTPB: My family name starts with Z, so in case they start from A and end at Z, I think they should have finished in publishing results.

TTPB: Could you please share the first letter of your family name, so that we know where the committee is at? Thank you

Chinese student from Polytechnic University of Milan.

Actuarial science major from a decent (~top 15-20) Canadian university. 3.96/4.00 GPA. Good LoRs and great SoP (I think). Took the GRE, got 169Q, 164V and 5.0W, TOEFL 119. Research experience and work experience in data science but no publications. A lot of other less related experiences (actuarial science internships, teaching assistant in math/programming classes, won case studies). Did not apply for ESOP. I'm so happy to get accepted into my dream program! Good luck to all the others and see you in September!

"The decisions of the Admissions Committee are now available. We regret to inform you that your application to the Data Science MSc at ETH Zurich has not been successful.". Top 10% of my class, First Class CS degree from top 10 UK University, final-year project research dissertation in Machine Learning, internship in research organization, accredited online courses in Machine Learning and numerous ML projects. They want the absolute cream of the cream, anything else is beneath them... So sick of applications

TTPB: Nothing yet, My button has been removed more than two weeks ago. The results are probably around the corner, good luck!

Hi guys, any Bologna applicant has got his answer so far? My "Withdraw" button has disappeared one week ago.
