Italian university 29.75/30 GPA

BSc in maths for AI from a top uni in Italy (not so regarded in maths though), I had to put in some extra work to meet the requirements (I took extra math courses, both in Italy and during an exchange semester). Decent SoP, good LoRs. Experience in maths olympiads and recipient of a scholarship dedicated to undergrad math students.

Applied for the ESOP also but haven't heard word on it. TBH, if I get the ESOP I will probably just go here because I'm not that excited about my PhD acceptances.

2 years work experience as SWE, CS and MIS bachelors, no publications.

i dont know if I can afford it. Please share any advice that you may have for me. I am an indian if that helps :(
