I graduated from the Italian version of it. The point here is passing the admission test. It is a brutal test but you can prepare for it. It is not something that it is easy to just pass without preparation. When you understand that it is not asking you to use pre made formulas and concepts but instead they ask you to model the system yourself or explain the concept making assumptions based on your knowledge you have much better chance to pass. And by having a parent that knows the type of questions/problems they ask and it is able to teach you how to approach several archetypes is a huge advantage. It has nothing to do with reccomandation, I can assure you. Genetics could also be a factor but proper preparation for the test is the biggest factor for sure. If any person is interested I recommend downloading the test from previous years and understand how to solve them (don’t be afraid to seek help from a professor these problems are made to be difficult and sometimes need to be explained). I recommend going from the most recent to the oldest. The earliest one were either easier (and not representing the current complexity of the test) or based on how the subject was taught at the time (which is often different from the current norm).
