Basically,
last year I finished my 5 year bachelor degree in a Latin American
country and now I am applying for a Masters in Architecture at EPFL. I
want to continue my education in a field which is not very common in my
home country and EPFL's course has a great focus on the theme.
I
was very hopeful about getting accepted, considering my grades, recommendation letters and previous academic experiences.
However, yesterday I saw a post of someone who got rejected for
having graduated from a 5-year bachelor course.I
then checked EPFL's eligibility criteria and it says that "Candidates who
already hold a Master’s degree, or equivalent, in the field (or similar
field) of the program for which they would apply are not eligible."
In
Europe my diploma is still considered a bachelor/undergraduate one, as it's stated on
the transcripts, and I have many friends who graduated at my university and later went
on to enroll at Masters in renowned european universities such as TU Berlin, TU
Delft or Politecnico di Milano.
Should I already lose hope about getting into EPFL (my first option for the masters course)?

Hello, I'm curious about the results of this question. Don't they accept the five-year Bachelor?
