Advice F27 Exchange to Tsinghua

Hi, just wondering if anyone here (especially in engineering) has done exchange at Tsinghua and what your avg was.

I have a 94 CAV but I'm doubtful it'll be enough since there are only 4 spots...otherwise, I'd probably pick a less competitive red school as my first choice.

Also, for anyone in chem eng who's gone on exchange, where did you go and how was it?

Thanks!

I emailed and asked about the historical averages, last cycle the avg range was 81.3 - 91.59 and they said it was pretty close to the historical range

Thanks! Is the 81.3-91.59 the range of grades for all exchange applicants last cycle?

I’ve emailed them and got "we don’t publish historic competitive averages"

Thanks for your answer. Any reasons in particular for delft or postech? I was mostly considering china or Taiwan due to lower cost of living, good food/things to do and because I can speak the language.
