Q: What are my chances of admission?

A: No one can give this answer (at least no one in student forums like InSAZ or Zurich Calling). No matter what your grades, GRE/TOEFL score are we as existing students can’t give any answers. Even if an answer like high,low, medium is given practically would it really affect the decision to apply or not? It is a polite request to refrain from posing such questions on the forum. You might be interested to know what kind of research and what is the profile of people work here. For that ETH, each department, faculty, research groups and PhD students have web pages.

Q: How to apply?

A. Please check ETH website for this. We can provide no further answers on admission procedure than what is given on the website. If you have problem understanding something given on the website you are welcome to ask questions.

Q: Delays in application decision

A: ETH is a pretty huge university with a lot of differences in policies/working/norms of each department. There is no single release date for application decisions and there will/might be a lot of variance in application decision release dates. So our advice to all prospective students is Wait n Watch.
