Notes
MTEC admissions looks for a well-rounded profile. There is no interview but my guess is that they do care much more than other MSc. of ETH about extracurriculars and the motivation letter. I was top 20% with a 2.3 german grade (nothing that crazy) from a good German uni (mech. eng.), but I frankly had very good extracurriculars (lots of debate, social sciences engagement, formula student, small fintech internship and teaching assistant of 4 subjects, 4 languages). In terms of work experience, I tend to think that they look for potential rather than CV, since I know people with 1, 2 or 3 years of experience in consulting/engineering who got rejected. Ask yourself why this is the right program for you (and not a MiM at HEC Paris for example) and be able to explain it in a good motivation letter. Also, I believe that for masters there is hundreds of chinese and indian students who apply to European unis, which maybe plays against them all, because there is really not a way to differentiate between the top unis in Asia (moral of the story: try to get a well rounded profile rather than focusing your time during the bachelor in being top 1 of the class).
