Thank you for your reply,AppReview wrote:Hi,
Generally, schools evaluate you at various levels. At the first level is the country (Eg: If you are from India, you would be competing against high scoring candidates typically), then Asians and then the overall picture of the entire class. In fact, schools look for a certain set of criteria which the school would like to have in each candidate. Only then are the other stages ever evaluated.
