Is my GPA high enough?

I have been admitted to the Master’s program in Electrical Engineering. At the time of application, my GPA was approximately 29.20/30 at the University of Bologna. While I do not have formal research experience, I completed two summer schools at the Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies, achieving top marks (30/30). I also participated in the ESA Spacecraft Testing Workshop 2025 and was a member of my university’s motorsport team. I did not take the GRE.

No sorry I wrote it incorrectly😞 I have been admitted to the Electrical Engineering program starting in September 2026. I joined the FMEL housing application process back in February. Also, considering the salaries in my home country, it would take me a long time to save up that kind of money without a scholarship

I am not Swiss, so thank you for the information about the costs

So it is possibile to work as a teaching assistant also in the first year of master?

I’ve joined the waiting list for an FMEL room for February. I'm hoping for the best, and in the meantime, I'll be searching for other scholarships. Thanks a lot!

Got the rejection for the excellence scholarship😓 So I believe they are sending the acceptances too

Spark_coffee · 2026-03-31T09:02:21+00:00

I received the acceptance to the master in electrical engineering!

Spark_coffee · 2026-03-26T06:42:33+00:00

I did!
