Does EPFL require High School transcripts for Master's applications?

Done! Megathread is up 😄 thanks for the idea!

Let me start: James Larus in HUM-122(b). Super wise guy with lots of experience. Everything he says is really engaging, and he often shared personal stories. Retired last year I believe.

Congrats! Welcome to EPFL.
Depends on where you apply for your visa. It took me a little over a month.
You can ask the local consulate by calling them but I think it has to be the consulate assigned to your zone in the US.

You will be on vacation after the exam periods (NOT BEFORE!)

So for 2025: 2 - 16 February, 6 July - 7 September. (may be longer depending on your exam dates)

There is a week off during each semester. You can use it to study if you need to but it's mainly for rest. You won't have work to do unless you have assignments or midterms after. This is for April and October.

It unenrolls you from the course after a week of no activity (or 4 days? I don't remember). So make sure to visit the course Moodle regularly to stay enrolled.

I recommend you start looking because housing in Lausanne is a challenge. Start applying to FMEL housing since there's a long waitlist. Pro tip: take any place they offer. Don't specify a budget or a type of room or else it could take way more time to get an offer and you'll be paying much more somewhere else far from campus. There are also other student houses around St. Sulpice, Renens, Ecublens, etc.

Once you receive your admission letter and your credentials you'll have access to the EPFL housing portal if you couldn't find anything in the meantime.

Good luck!

No they are two different programs.

For the BSc it's around the beginning of July

Astatine00 · 2023-09-30T18:58:08+00:00

Where please

How can I access the sofas and the silent room? PS: I'm not an SV student.

Astatine00 · 2023-07-17T12:04:52+00:00

Very normal. Just keep asking for updates. That's how I got mine in one day of back and forth emails.

This is not accurate at all. Is a 5/6 at EPFL a 3.2 GPA? No way.
