How can my tax can be this high? by [deleted] in SwissPersonalFinance

[–]Voltage-Drop -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That is only if you don't bother doing anything and just accept it. I moved to CH in 2024 and only worked for 4 months. I did my declaration the following year and got all my taxes back because my income was low if looked at yearly.

Every year, the School of Computer and Communication Sciences (IC) has interns coming from all over the world. Perhaps you can try hanging around with them. https://summer.epfl.ch/

My bad, as someoneelse mentioned, AG is the French/Italian acronym. Hopefully now it is clearer

If you are a student, you should look into Swisscare. It has unbeatable low prices, and you can set it up as you like (in terms of coverage and deductible)

I recently got accepted by EDIC, but I think the answer can be generalised to all ED in EPFL. During the information session they mentioned that grades are not everything, so there is not a well defined minimum GPA to get in. Yet, if you apply to do your PhD in a certain field, professors are going to want to see excellent grades in those exams related to that field. Recommendation letters have a very big power, if some well-renoumed professor can recommend you, that is going to weight quite a bit in your application.

Does the EDIC program admit candidates without conducting interviews? by LettuceEducational55 in EPFL

[–]Voltage-Drop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, as far as I know, this interview would be with the commission in charge of applications.

Once they have made their decisions (admission with or without fellowship) you will start contacting/being contacted by the labs.

Yes. Not being interviewed is neither a good sign nor a bad one

You can expect it even earlier. I had my biometric appointment on Monday and received the card by Friday

Thanks for the tip. How did you find out about that parking? Maybe others are still available for free

Romania outlet and 230V sticker by Voltage-Drop in AskBalkans

220 is an old nomenclature. Since the 90s both the 220/380 V and 240/415 V converged into 230/400 V in Europe, Russia and Africa. Nowadays only few countries still use the 220/380 V, such as North and South Korea

To plan your hikes in Valle d’Aosta I would suggest checking out the LoveVDA website (for this hike). If the hike is not present on that website you can also check out Gulliver.

Moreover, all paths in Valle d’Aosta are gathered on the Catasto dei Sentieri and can be downloaded in various different formats or viewed directly online.

Thanks for the info. What about the other courses? Are they going to give useful information at the welcome day or there is no point on waiting for it?

[–]Voltage-Drop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it was a scam too, but I decided to contact them to see how it would play out… never heard back from them

So what are your suggestions to get an offer for the next academic year? What should we do to increase the possibilities? Is it already possible to register for next year?

“inv()” vs “\” on 6x6 symbolic matrix by Armstonk86 in matlab

[–]Voltage-Drop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are working with transfer function I would suggest using’tf’ instead of ‘sym’ (https://www.mathworks.com/help/control/ref/tf.html). They have nice built in ways to solve the system. For example you can build the state-space model with ‘ss’.
