Graduate School Admission Results

Met with P.I. initially during open house weekend at his poster presentation. He expressed interest in my availability to start early (I live within 1 hour of campus and was not currently tied down to school or a job) and my lab manager experience. Received offer 3/24 and began working in lab 4/14.

3.8 Undergrad, and 4.0 Masters in Health Admin

Well, at least they got back to me, a bit late though.

The package is strongly based on teaching with around 22k to 24k before tax, and the offer letter can be revised annually. Should reach out to the grad students before accepting. Teaching 2 classes per semester can start from the third year.

One undergrad research scholarship, 5 posters presented at congresses. Extensive teaching experience, volunteering, etc. Rejection letter reads: Dear ..................., Thank you for your interest in the EPFL Doctoral Program in Molecular Life Sciences, EDMS. We regret to inform you that, after careful consideration of your application, we have decided not to offer you a PhD position within EDMS. We were obliged to apply strict criteria in comparing the many excellent applications we received, and have unfortunately had to decline some candidates. Please note that the contents of the discussions by the Admission Committee are private. We can therefore not provide you with additional details about the decision. Please be advised that you may, indeed, reapply after one year, however, as the application form standards and demands on acceptance into EPFL doctoral programs are both high and rising, unless there are important developments in your profile, your chances of being admitted in one year will not be significantly higher than this year. We thank you for your understanding and wish you all the best for your future studies and career. Yours sincerely,
