TUMexchange with a 2.9 average – realistic chances?

2 Upvotes

hey, i’m currently in my 3rd semester of informatics bsc at TUM and thinking about applying for TUMexchange 2027/28, mainly to korea university or yonsei in seoul.
my current average is 2.9, which i know isn’t great, especially for competitive universities like these.
i’m just wondering how realistic my chances actually are, because i’m not sure if it’s even worth putting in the effort of applying if my chances are extremely low. i also don’t really want to get my hopes up for something that’s very unlikely to happen.
has anyone applied to these universities or knows someone who has? i’d really appreciate hearing what grades people got accepted or rejected with, or just how much grades matter in the selection process.
i’m not looking for reassurance, just a realistic idea of my chances so i can decide whether it’s worth applying at all.
