i asked this admissions guy if New Zealand had a small number of applicants… and well… look at nz, it’s so fuc kng small and he said, although it’s not as huge as india/korea,etc… but a vast majority of people apply from the smallest countries and it won’t be a ‘hook’ to be from a ‘small’ country because many ppl apply from there too.
I went to our SAT testing centre and I saw atleast 100 people - and that’s only in auckland (but the largest centre)! There must be about 300 ppl applying from here in total! And these people were wealthy, gucci, louise vuitton wearing, rich kids who say - “oh no, i got 97% . i need to reset the test!”

Overall, you should not think that you have a good chance of admissions because MANY people can pay full tution out of their pocket.
I know… very scary…
