<p>no that is not at all recommended. it cannot be ur first language. it defeats the purpose of the program. and it is very selective for international students too. i cant find the link for the actual statistics but its about 7.5% admission rate for intl students which is about one in 7 people. also, this takes into aaccount the hooked ones. so its about 1 in 8-9. So VERY competitive</p>
