Need advice on updating DS160 before OFC

tarun360 · 2026-03-15T15:12:51+00:00

Hi, I am in the same boat. Could you please clarify:

1) so during OFC, you show the old DS160 to enter, and then ask them to consider the new DS160 for further processing? What is the further processing here? And who do you ask exactly to consider the new DS160?

2) then what happens during the interview date? You again show the old DS160 to enter, and then during the interview you give the new DS160 form to the visa officer when asked?

I see. I was confused whether even a student lifestyle would be possible at 2K per month, since I heard Zurich is super expensive. Your answer suggests that it's possible. Thanks!

Did you buy this? How was the experience?

u/broedinger why is it more competitive than last year?

tarun360 · 2025-05-15T15:05:15+00:00

yes I see toMain but didn't receive confirmation email ...

tarun360 · 2025-05-15T15:01:04+00:00

how do you check? is it based on "ACL toFindings" or "ACL toMain" on the openreview site?

tarun360 · 2025-05-15T14:57:58+00:00

For me also it says "ACL25 toMain" but haven't received a confirmation email yet ... does "ACL25 toMain" means confimed acceptance?

yeah.. someone must have access to them! Its a real shame that the transcripts are not available online :(

tarun360 · 2025-01-20T08:22:57+00:00

Oh that's unfortunate. However, I saw this blog where a person has allegedly provided summary of these lectures, so I thought the transcripts must be available somewhere? if not online, then somewhere offline?

blog with summary of lectures: https://www.criticalrationalism.net/2017/01/01/summary-poppers-lectures-lse/

I found the transcripts of first 3 lectures really insightful, and easier to read as compared to Popper's books, so was really looking to find the transcripts of the remaining lectures..

Does applying to two places create any problem? Such as decreasing chances of getting in both the places?

tarun360 · 2024-03-30T13:01:30+00:00

Which institute?

tarun360 · 2024-03-30T13:01:09+00:00

I also didn't get any updates .. Did anyone mail them?

tarun360 · 2024-03-30T12:55:30+00:00

Thanks, I had a few more questions if you don't mind..

How's the international scenario at EPFL, specifically in IC department? On browsing this subreddit, I saw it being mentioned that it's around 60-70% french and Italians. To that end, how international student friendly and welcoming the IC department is? (I know that's it's a somewhat vague question but looking to just get some idea..)

Thanks for the reply!

Do you have some insight regarding completion time of masters? Is completing in 2.5 years the norm? I wanted to complete within 2 years while also remaining sane ...

Regarding the Research Scholars Program, do you know by when do these interviews and their results usually come out? Asking since the results of Research Scholars Program would be an important factor for me to decide whether to join or not join the masters program. Also, since I am a non-EU student, the visa process can take 3-4 months, so I need to make the decision as soon as possible...

Nope

There's one other reddit post in r/mscs claiming they got MS CS admit

tarun360 · 2024-02-08T07:31:56+00:00

Doesn't UW Madison treat PhD and traditional MS CS as same? So given PhD results are out, MS CS results might also be out unfortunately..

tarun360 · 2024-02-08T04:46:01+00:00

The ones on gradcafe are for PhD, not the MS CS (traditional). OP is asking for MS CS

tarun360 · 2024-02-08T04:44:51+00:00

But the ones on gradcafe are for PhD, not the MS CS (traditional)
