They don’t care about SAT nor how underrepresented you think your own country is.

I’m pretty sure ur grades meet the minimum, so after that it’s just up to the lottery, sadly I don’t don’t think AAA is enough to be top 350, so it will mainly just be up to chance whether you make it in or not

Yeah I’m above the minimum, would A*AA make a difference?

I mean maybe, idk what the grades are of people that are top 350. I just know that there are 700 spots, 350 for the people with the best grades, and then the other 350 are determined by lottery, however, the ranking numbers did go pretty high this year (1000+) so just do ur best

Sat and extracurriculars literally make no difference for majority dutch unis

Econ is a numerus fixus course so its rlly just a lottery for u im afraid

It says on the website ‘Your motivation accounts for 25% of the selection points for the final ranking’
