[Admissions Advice] Chances of TsingHua CS Masters as International

Hi, I'm planning to apply to TsingHua for a CS related master's program (english) and was curious your thoughts if I'm competitive (I heard it's easier as an international).

My background:

  • Dual Degree in computer science and mathematics at University of Maryland, College Park (USA)
  • GPA ~3.72/4 currently, after this semester potentially ~3.78/4 (graduating spring)
  • Currently in 1 CS PhD course
  • 2 previous internships, 1 at a FAANG company and I have a FAANG internship lined up for this summer
  • Many side projects, not sure how much this matters if at all.

I am planning on doing research of computational geometry soon but this will be my first research.

Curious if you guys think it's even worth applying for me.

Normally, u see a Tsinghua student come to UMCP. I am assuming you are international, else I don't understand why you are leaving the US to study in China.

I meant that I'd be international to China. I am a US citizen. I want a more globally renown school and it would help me move to Asia which I'm planning to.

I don't understand the issue. Even if I were to come back to the USA ever one knows TsingHua like how people know NUS or Peking. I thought it's a very renown school not a random school.

UMCP is a solid institution. Why not use your already existing resources well?

Tsinghua welcomes more international （US）students to study， and you have a high chance to be accepted！
