Forgot to tell you in the video about my personal strategy so here it is:
I was a TA and RA since the Bachelor. I did research with my Pr.Dominic Rohner who then became my supervisor. Then, I took every opportunity to connect with the professors and the department: Students representative, working on the promotion of the master, joining committee to hire new professors. So by the time I applied, I knew well everyone in the department. I had a peculiar strategy because I wanted to apply only at the University of Lausanne for professional and personal reasons, so I gave it all. Of course aside from that, I also worked hard, got a perfect score at the GRE math part, GPA 5.8, an academic master thesis (it then became my first chapter of the thesis).

Here are my research proposal and cover letter done at the time: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/z2f9957qh0...
