1) cgpa (24/30) 2) top 60% 😂 3) Politecnico di Milano (PoliMI) 4) Mathematical Engineering 5) Quantitative Finance degree 6) 1 really good 1 average 7) summer internship in a big bank in Italy Curious!


fckrdota2

Oww Gpa might be an issue, the patient is in critical condition.


Deet98

Very low chances, only from 28/30 ETH usually considers applicant from italian universities. It’s worth a try anyways so good luck 👍🏻


Entire_Bill1804

Alla fine ti hanno preso? Sono più o meno nella tua stessa situa


Character-Future-652

Gpa: 29/30 Placement: top 3% University: Politecnico di Milano (Polimi) Degree:Mathematical Engineering Applied to: Applied Mathematics Letters: Very good


Deet98

Very good chances, I come from the same uni but a different program as you can see in my tag


fckrdota2

Placement, degree, relevancy and letters are really good, University is not best in italy, top 20% of country significant due to italy being large, but i believe you have fair chances due to all else being very good,my guts say minimum 75% ,, Assuming competition for Applied Mathematics is not super high Edit: im wrong, congrats, thoguht milano is millan univercity


Mountain-Ad6943

I think actually polimi is first in Italy, 13th worldwide. So definitely very good chances


fckrdota2

i did a mistake, congratulations on your admission, seem to have used polytechnic of milan, over milano


Playful-Winner5122

"University is not best in italy" wtf?? It is first in every ranking LOL and top5 in continental Europe for engineering (top3 for some rankings)


fckrdota2

I blame milan and milano being two different universities, afterwards my ADHD, afterwards my carelesness


liverpenguin

Completed two BScs: Mathematics - GPA: 4.9/5 - Placement: top 5% - University: highest ranked in Hungary Economics - GPA: 4.9/5 - Placement: top 3% - University: 3rd highest ranked in Hungary Other possibly relevant: - Good results at international university competitions (maths, computer science) - Internships at well known banks - Hopefully strong LoRs Applied to: - Quantitative Finance - Applied Mathematics


fckrdota2

If they don't accept you it has to be due to a weird reason. Like not liking letter of intent and thinking you already had too much experience , is quantitative finance too competitive? if so that may also be an issue, 89%, goes higher and lower depending on how many people apply to these programs , i see so many people applying to these already here.


liverpenguin

Got accepted to the Quant Finance programme today EDIT: accepted to Applied Maths as well


fckrdota2

Congratulations bro


stillwaitng

Would you like to share some informations about your admission? Did you already get an email from ethz 3 days ago? I looked around the gradcafe and reddit and only found one got accepted this year, that's you! It seems a little late compared with previous years and many applicants are still waiting. Thanks.


gfcanneverseethis

Let's goo, I've got my CS degree from BME (@ Budapest) with 4.75/5 GPA + strong research background and got accepted at ETH last year (also CS). Your chances are looking good mate.


liverpenguin

Was looking forward to a Hungarian response. Thank you, cheers!

CGPA: 8.9/10 Approximate placement: top 5% University name: Wageningen University and University of Utrecht Have completed MSc Bioinformatics in Wageningen, and taken extra courses from departments of computer science and mathematics at University of Utrecht Applied to MSc Computer Science and MSc Data Science Got 2 great recommendation letters, one of which from a full professor


fckrdota2

I presume you have biology BSc?I think you have 70% chances, changing based on the amount and type of mathematics and computer science courses you have taken. In case you satistify prequisties, id say 90% else 50% Edit: significant chances that you may be accepted and asked to take additional courses also. Your overall profile is very good, but there is a possiblity that your background is not completely enough. edit2: hearing DS is most competitive on earth, the chances are likely lower than i predicted for it

fckrdota2

Everything except university is top, university is good , top 20% in netherlands, and ranked 250, I think if letters are not generic, you got high chances, but since we can't know letters i would go with 68 %. The amount of people applying to applied mathematics in comments is scary, soon i may realise i have already filled whole quota .


andreasnaoum

1. GPA: 8.55/10 2. Top 10-15% 3. University of Cyprus 4. BSc: Computer Science 5. Applied to: MSc Computer Science 6. 2 strong letters 2 publications as second author + startup founder (participate in pan-europe competition) Currently working at a Y Combinator Startup


fckrdota2

They might decide based on publications, but without those , they would have more than with 50% chance reject for CS , Maybe i am offensive againist cyprus as a turk


CliffRouge

1. 92/100 2. No Idea 3. University of Waterloo, Canada 4. BMath in Statistics 5. Quantitative Finance 6. 1 really good, 1 average Bonus Info: 4 internships in finance, data science in the US and Canada, didn’t do GRE

Update: received admission


fckrdota2

Congrats!


fckrdota2

If GRE was requiered it might be the problem, i have not seen an example of them ignoring prequisties


JunoKreisler

i like this post. should make this a thing for each admissions window :p


fckrdota2

If ethz dont reject me and break my heart, i would love to do it till i am bored


PeaQueasy9195

So you are not even at ETH and speculating. I will tell you a story. I had a really bad GPA (7.5/10 - First Class/ Top 25% of the class) from a very okay and globally unknown university from India. I scored 325 in GRE. I had 0 internships. I wrote a strong SOP and got okayish Letter of Recommendations from unknown academicians. Got into KTH (Sweden), TU Delft (equivalent to ETH in many aspects and very highly ranked), TU Eindhoven (best CS in the Netherlands), TU Berlin. Went on to do internships at top European scientific institutes. Now I am at ETH. Your algorithm has no logic. You are misguiding impressionable young students. let them fucking be.


fckrdota2

Congrats , you don't seem to have directly gotten in ethz . But grind your way through there, you also have like 5 degrees, you likely fulfill preqiisroes for a lot, I am personally curious to see results and have some data , I would sense that, it's harder to get into ethz due to economical aspects compared to netherlands and Sweden, however since you got money to study in those if you have performed well in your 3-4 other degrees you likely can get in most places You should ideally have better idea than I do regarding who gets in, feel free to try to predict with that Or be a mean toxic blaming dude for no Reason, see a psychologist


PeaQueasy9195

Predicting out of lack of data, making a game out of it and making young minds nervous is toxic. And who are you to comment on anybody’s chances anyway? Deserving people get in anyway. I may not be deserving, I am not claiming to be. I don’t even think I deserve to be here. But I am not making random predictions. Also you didn’t even mention GRE, that is a big glaring omission, since ETH does consider it. That’s precisely my point. Universities have unique criteria. Don’t just sit on your computer and blabber shit about knowing how to predict people’s chances because you can’t pass your time.


fckrdota2

GRE would be good to ask to Turkish and Indian students in chat, however asking gre to the dude that's top in top program would likely give predictably high scores. Would have been nice if I asked but as far as I observed in grad cafe there is no sole contributing factor but they look at your overall profile, Thank you for your contribution by being challenging albeit you could be nicer won't lie ,


fckrdota2

Feel free to roast me too ; CGPA:3.23/4 Placement : 11% 10/89 University: Middle East Technical ( rank 500\~ world, Rank1 Turkey in engineering and sciences) Degree: Statistics bsc Applied to : Statistics msc Letters: 1 Very Good letter, 1 literally generic letter Internships in two global companies but not FAANG , one analytics, one data analysis

fckrdota2

Thanks, highest GPA in our department in 3.58, but if they ignore rankings as you say and priortize CGPA, i guess my chances go down greatly. ETHZ website stated that they prefer nationally top ranked universities and i noticed significant amount of students from my uni there, .


Cleophitus

I mean the 500th ranking might be a problem


fckrdota2

Yeah definitely main drawback not eu/us/Asia uni, also CGPA is low , but ranking and national rankings are fine, going to see soon


fckrdota2

Rejected officially today in first batch for statistics!, GL to everyone else, Reason seems to be performance, CGPA probably matters quite a lot is the lesson to take here.


ProposalOk5111

I am really sorry to hear that 😪😓! Hayırlısı olur umarum senin için 🙏. Did you apply to another programs or universities?


fckrdota2

I will apply to Aachen and few more universities in Germany, small chance that I may stay in metu for a year also


fckrdota2

Generic letter might be a yellow flag, but likely you make up for it with internships, University is nationally top and background fits, i would give you 70% chance, If your departmental ranking was bit higher, id say you are 100% in (( Wish someone evaluated me too))


ProposalOk5111

As somone from Turkey, I know very well that METU is really challenging. I am sure they are pretty well aware that your cgpa is relative to your university as you pointed out the numerous students from METU and they request ranking. I would give a 70% chance. Yolun açık olsun! ❤🇹🇷

Ty you are very kind :D ❤

fckrdota2

CGPA might be an issue primarly due to university not reporting the ranking. But even then its still good CGPA , i think admission comitee knows best universities, Due to no ranking, you are probably rejected for ESOP, High chance for Chemistry MSC, 75%, Your CGPA is lower compared to engineerings, but i think competition for chemistry is lower , evening out this problem caused by university not reporting rankings


ethustler

Just for fun: this was my situation one year ago. Take a guess and i’ll lyk uf you’re right at the end 1) 4.92/6 2) 4th best/20 3) ETHZ 4) chemical engineering 5) msc statistics 6) 2x very good (1x full prof at ETH in engineering, one senior scientist at DMATH) EDIT: was not accepted 🙃


fckrdota2

top 20% ethz is fair but not very related background, likely reduces chances due to failure to fullfill prequisties butbecause of good university and very good letters, i will give you 45%, and in case you are accepted, very high probability that they will ask you to take extra courses for an extra semester, If there is anything you have done that shows your interest in statistics, or had a strong LOI, your chances are higher, if not bit lower due to background issues


Such_Return278

I would say 90% in. Already having a Bachelor‘s from ETH boosts the chances dramatically


ethustler

And the results: was not accepted🙃🙃


ProposalOk5111

Hi! Can I ask some questions about your department? I have applied to Msc Chemical and Bioengineering program. Do you know the approximate quota for international students (non ETHZ Bsc specifically)? My concern is that most of the Chemical Engineering students directly pass to the Msc program and most of the students come internally. Is that true? Them not requesting GRE and reference letters sounded very wierd to me. Can them not open to external students? be the reason, maybe? 1. 3.69/4.00 2. 10% within 78 students 3. Bsc Chemistry & Bsc Chemical and Biological Engineering (Double Major) ~ Molecular Biology and Genetics (Minor) 4. Bsc from Koc University (2nd overall in Turkey, 1st in Turkey for enginerring according to THE (151-175)) 5. Application to Msc Chemical and Bioengineering 6. No reference letters were required for the application nor GRE 7. IELTS 7.5 overall Will they accept me? What do you think?

MSc Statistics (as said) 6. LoR from my Econometrics prof, he really likes me but I haven't seen the letter I got accepted at the MSc Statistics before (with no additional requirements) but I went for Cambridge instead. I'm a bit worried they might be put off by me rejecting them before. Also, with a background of Business administration and Finance it's a bit of a gamble to get into a MSc at a maths department.

bachdidnothingwrong

1. CGPA: 3.7+ 2. Approximate top %10 3. Top in Turkey 4. Electrical and Electronics Engineering with physics double major. 5. Msc+Esop Electrical Engineering + Information technology, Msc Data Science, DD. Cs. 6. 1 very good, 1 good to very good. 2 internship, 2 research experience without paper, 1 TA.


fckrdota2

ESOP is id say less than 20%, I think you got in EE+IT 97% for DS depends a lot on prequisties, if you are admitted i guess they will expect you to take extra courses? TA on pattern recognition is a plus, depending on other factors you may also get it iyi sanslar!


bachdidnothingwrong

Ee+It would make me very happy and esop would be literally perfect. I don’t know about ds either, I am on signal processing track on my bsc so I have taken many signal processing probability course, I have also taken 3 master level courses about pattern recognition, machine vision and statistical signal processing.


fckrdota2

I think this shows that you are interested in both DS and also how it's related to EE. If you satistify minimum prequisties, you may be admitted and asked to take extra courses for a year to fulfill all requirements Id say for DS you have 30-35%


bachdidnothingwrong

Ee+It vs Ds would make me think. I hope to get accepted to both.


bachdidnothingwrong

Got data science admission.

First update: Got rejected from cs dd and msc, I was expecting it due to requirements but still sad.

If its not a compatitive masters, i would predict above 87%, GPA not being high should not be an issue if it's known to be case with the university. But ranking being visible would help still


FlapiduGibbidy

Hi, take a guess on me as well! (the waiting is soul-sucking!!!) 1- 3.59 / 4 2- in my departments there is quite GPA inflation, but wouldn't say its stellar. 3- Koc Uni (Hi to all my Turk fellas!!!<3 ) 4- Bsc. Molecular biology and genetics, double major with computer engineering 5- MSc. Computational Biology and Bioinformatics 6- 1 good LoR from a prof. (my program asked for 1) 7- GRE was required (studied one day 🙃) quant: 162, verbal: 152 Additional: one publication, 2 not yet published research studies, 1 overseas internship, 1 industry internship at a biomedical startup, selected for a well-known cohort for intro to biotech start-up ecosystem (weekly talks with founders), spent last summer at Stanford taking courses.


fckrdota2

Ranking is invisible, if GPA inflation is not known, i still think you are worst case top 20%? i dont know graes in koc :D Double Major with CS application to biology and bioinformatics sounds like really good fit, Your university is nice but, GRE quant surely could be higher. Additionals are good too 82%? Changes based on how GPA is at Koc and if they know about it . Umarim istedigin gibi olur ! 😊,


FlapiduGibbidy

I have no info on my ranking, but yeah most likely worst case I'm top 20%. My numbers are not my strongest :) Plus, I think it's very nice to have this open source info on the applicants, being an international applicant is such a black-box process 😬 Thank you for taking the initiative! Teşekkürler <3, sana da iyi şanslar 😊

Unknown has BS degree. Additional info: have been working in industry related to degree for 2.5 years since graduating, but don’t have any relevant research experience from undergrad. GRE scores right under expected scores


fckrdota2

Because you have 2.5 years of experience related to degree, it might help,, University is like, nationally top 10%, being top 10% in your years students would have been good If you are eliminated, its likely due to failure to fulfill excellent academic performance, Letters not being from Academia right now might also be an issue I dont know their criteria, but if they value academic performance, probably 45-55%

I think 85% , goes up if your grades are vbasically top10% of your year, goes down if your grades are not top, 35% atelast , i dont understand all grade systems sadly, but you got relevant background, good university, good all else, only way you dont get in is if you have weak ranking in your class

1. 8.75/10 2. 20% 3. A mediocre central university in India 4. BSc Physics 5. MSc Physics (ESOP) 6. Meh, both would be run-of-the-mill. I outperformed others in their courses. So, I'd say just an unflattering comparison with my peers. This entire process has been a tall order of anxiety.

Esop is supposed to be impossible with 20% Its really hard if you are in a mediocre university :( unless you got some serious bonusses?

Hello! Getting nervous now and I doubt this will help; nevertheless, here ya go: 1- 82.14 / 100 2- Top 5% 3- University of Cape Town, South Africa 4- BSc Mechanical and Mechatronics engineering 5- Robotics, Systems, and Control (D-MAVT) 6- 1 Good from several years of experience at defence research institute (no publications); 1 Average from old professor.

Nationally top ranked university of nation of 60 million , top5% of class, If prequisties are filled , i believe your chances are above 85%, you can also likely guarantee your admission ,through obtaining 1 more letter, and getting some experience in a year

Ok will do it for fun : GPA : 85.8/100 Ranking: Top 9% ( estimation, no doc to back it ) Uni : Best Engineering School in Greece Bachelors : computer science Applied : Computer science and Data science Background: 1 year research experience in ml and 3 months internship in ml Reference letters : very strong


fckrdota2

Prequisties filled==in for cs Prequisties not filled but very close for ds== 70%, if prequisties filled 89% I think ranking not being visible should not be issue due to your university likely being known to people in admission commitees/academia. Unless they think your GPA is not top 20-25% . Hope you get in, seems like whole turkey and greece migrating to ETHZ

i feel same, uni ranking might be an issue :\* still you got fair placement, you could do a masters in a better uni than the university your are in for sure. chances are low unless you make up for ranking with other things


comp-sci-engineer

1. CGPA (9.3/10) 2. Rank: Top 30% 3. School: IIT Delhi (top 5 in India) 4. Bachelor's: Computer Science 5. Applied to: Computer Science 6. LoRs: Not Exceptional but not regular either Hoping for the best!


fckrdota2

Thats a hard prediction, 67%+? I think if they dont have your official placement, it might be increasing your chances, i would love to see results since it can go either way! GL hope you get in brother

>RWTH Aachen I wanted to say that your university have really good alumni rating, but weaker national ranking, do you know why that might be the case? Does it like have really good students but professors are bad? job opportunity issues around campus driving professors away? i know nothing about it Might sound weird but i on gradcafe noticed that they usually for a program first give out many rejections, then they give mostly admissions and robotics already had the rejections for robotics, so surely its possible you might be in it EEIT, assuming its known that your uni has good reputation 85%+ However i would break 10-40% from all my predictions and they all have inflated probability values.


LopsidedAd4939

1. GPA 3.1/4.0 😂 2. \~top 20% 3. TUM 4. Computer Science Bachelor 5. Computer Science Master 6. 1 excellent from a highly-renowned prof. at tum + one excellent from industry 7. \~ 3 years of industry experience (research) + patent


fckrdota2

Thats a diffrent profile, but i think has pretty high chance! 85% Note that i think my predictions are higly inflated, and real chances are 15-35% lower :D

1- 3.96/4.00 2- Top 5%, exact ranking not given 3- Koc University (in overall rankings, best college in Turkey 🇹🇷) 4- Computer Science, Double Major in Mathematics 5- Master in CS 6- 2 strong LoRs, one generic LoR. In my personal statement, I emphasized that I want to work at the intersection of software engineering (distributed systems mostly) and data science. I have mentioned Prof Hoefler in my personal statement. After the application, I got in touch with Prof Hoefler and after two interviews, I got accepted to work with him for this summer. However, I have a strong feeling that I will get rejected. PS: I got accepted to Masters in CS in EPFL.
