<p>Are you an Asian from Asia, or do you live in another country (UK, Australia, etc)? This will make a difference as to how your application is viewed.</p>
<p>As others have posted, the number of applicants from China alone has overwhelmed most schools over the last few years. You will be basically compared to the students applying from the same country. if you are from Nepal, Bhutan, Vietnam or other smaller Asian countries then you stand an EXCELLENT chance.</p>
