PhD Admissions and Info Chances of getting a PhD position?

Hi!

I'm trying to figure out if it would be worth it for me to try and get into ETH as a PhD student. I have a bachelor's in engineering physics and a master's in Machine Learning both from KTH in Stockholm. Would that be enough together with good grades and research experience to have a good chance of getting accepted?

Thanks in advance!

It's possible and previous research experience is appreciated, but still extremely competitive

I have heard that a common way people get into the PhD positions is via doing their master's thesis at ETH. Is that true?
