(Uni Help) Help me pick the path to best achieve my goals /adv/! Anonymous 2017-06-29 12:47:04 Post No. 18466532 [Report]

So I am applying to graduate schools (US) soon for a Masters in electrical engineering and need help deciding the best way to end up in the PhD program at ETH Zurich.

I plan to apply to ETH Zurich, EPFL, Stanford, UIUC, and a few more top US schools for my masters. ETH is a long shot for masters due to the amount of coursework I am missing with how their EE bachelors is set up so rule that out for now.

Now assuming I get into every other grad school I apply for, which would best set me up for a PhD at ETH Zurich? Would EPFL be best, being the "sister" school of ETH? Or would going to a top name like Stanford or UIUC be just as good or better?

Just wanted to know if they are about equal so I can make the final decision based on financial aid.

End goal is working/living in Switzerland and becoming a dual citizen. Visited there twice for a while and absolutely love it.
Thanks for any help!

This was painful to read. If your response to the internal question of how to achieve is to ask /adv/ with a crying frog image and whining hoping someone will solve your shit for you, you're not getting in to Stanford or your program of choice. You'd be lucky to get into any graduate program.

I am just asking if anyone knows if a Swiss MS will look better or not for admission into ETH Zurich PhD. I know the application is directly to the professors so maybe they have a preference. I will get into Stanford and UIUC for MS, etc.. it is unlikely I won't given my stats (says my professor and advisors). Getting funding to those places is all I'm worried about. If I applied to them for PhD it would be more up in the air as well, but MS applications are much easier.
