ETH Zurich Master Degree

Hello guys :)
I am sorry for starting a new topic, but I could not find anything in all of the posts.
I applied for a Master Degree at ETH Zurich and received the official letter of acceptance via post. It, however, did not say anything about the Excellence Scholarship I previously applied for. Well, I guess I was just not approved for that stipend. In spite of this I sent an e-mail asking about the status of my scholar application. I have no reply, so far.
Can anyone, please, share some experience (current or past) with ETH Zurich? It is my top priority and I am afraid that I will have to give up that university as I have no other sources of financing, except for the above mentioned scholarship :(

Thank you very much!

Hello!! I am so happy that someone else has also applied to ETH. They sent you the offer via mail and no e-mail? Because I have heard nothing..and a snail letter will take at least a week to arrive to where I live. I have not applied for the scholarship but I have heard that the results come later..

Hello Simone :)
I need to apologise for the information I posted - I just did not want to be too meticulous and bore all readers!!!
Actually, I received an e-mail saying that I was approved for admission and that for the period of up to four to six weeks I would receive an official postal mail with the offer. Exactly one week later I received it.
I applied for a Master Degree in Pure Mathematics. If you are applying for something else, then it is not necessary to be informed in the same way as I was - you may receive directly a postal offer :) Moreover decision deadlines are probably different for different majors.
If you have any questions Simone, I will be glad to share with you - I can imagine how anxious you feel :) We are all in the same boat :)

Don't apologize 8) I applied for a master in pure math too. So, they should reject me soon.. I wish you luck with the scholarship!
