I am a non-EU applicant from Turkiye,studying my first year in Bogazici University in Molecular Biology and Genetics.My main objective is to study in Europe,specifically Italy because of how accesible and economical its top universities are compared to those in Turkiye.
I also specifically aim for PoliTo Mechanics and PoliMi Engineering Science.Apart from Milano's expenses,I hear a lot of negative thought about PoliMi from Italian and abroad students.If you ask a random student from Turkiye who studies in Italy,they will usually complain about PoliTo being too hard and theory oriented.I keep hearing these about PoliMi too,from Italian and abroad students.
While I understand the logic behind these complains,comparing PoliMi to other countries' top universities;my family's budget is what constraints me the most.I think even if PoliMi is as bad as they say,it will be an upgrade for me to move there.What is your suggestions and advices?
Also is it guaranteed that PoliMi will translate all the scores to a 0-100 scale?Because previous year PoliTo prioritized TIL and no non-EU student could get accepted for Mechanical Engineering with SAT scores,even the ones with 1550-1570 scores.
Last question:What would you recommend me to aim in the SAT for an easy acceptance to Engineering Science?
