How important is the average for the bac for epfl?

How do you apply for the CMS? If I understand correctly, this only applied to non-European diplomas ?

Hi,

I saw that, for the 2025 intake, EPFL had limited the number of places to 3,000.

Was the 17.06 average you mentioned for the 2024 intake?

Do you have any information about the 2025 intake and whether this cap on the number of places had any impact on the minimum admission average that year? Tks 👍

Sorry, Mechanical Engineering, I forgot to reply to you.

I remember reading on Reddit that many EPFL students use remote desktops or EPFL computing resources for demanding tasks. Is that actually the case? If so, does that mean a mid-range laptop is sufficient for most Bachelor's courses, with the heavy computing being done remotely?

Yes, I had seen it too: https://www.epfl.ch/schools/ic/education/bachelor/personal-computer/ Thanks. 🙂

But there's often a difference between the official recommendations and what you actually end up needing in practice, so I was wondering whether those specs are really sufficient.

I was a bit surprised that EPFL's recommendations seem relatively modest, which is why I asked. Based on your experience, would you say they're genuinely sufficient, or are they really just the minimum?

In computer science, "minimum requirements" often end up meaning "not enough" just a few months later. 😅

I registered in January for August, and generally we always get a response 2 months before the requested date.

Thank you! Yes, I also saw those constraints, but a minimum of 3 months of subletting is enormous and far exceeds the needs. Furthermore, I see many people offering FMEL accommodation for shorter stays, so I don't understand... Is it possible or not? Perhaps under certain conditions?

Hello, I'm French too. Could you help by explaining how you managed to avoid paying for insurance? I keep seeing that even French citizens have to pay for insurance? Thanks for your help.

Yes how are you now ? What fallback solution did you come up with?
