<p>I think you have a decent shot. If you lived in the US you would have an amazing shot, but I’m sure you are well aware how stiff the competition is for international applicants… especially from Asia. </p>

<p>Basically, I think you SHOULD get in and you certainly seem qualified, but you never know what’s going to happen and just because you should get in doesn’t mean you will, unfortunately.</p>
