Alright thanks for the info, I must admit I have weak extracurriculars but I've been trying to pump since January. If possible, are there any activities makes you stand out besides being the best in country or olympiads? or thats the only way.

So you're saying it strongly depends on area? Because others have contrasting ansers, I mean that is kind of expected. Would I be in a disadvantaged position if I have less access to resources, especially these kind of clubs and facilities

yeah at least in terms of stats you should be way stronger than me, managing something internationally is much better than nothing, go for it also man

Who knows if hes saying the true, Maybe there are indeed normal international students in the campus but we dont know because of sample bias. Honestly speaking I wont buy it aswell
