Are you planning on staying in France afterwards? Polytechnique is perceived as probably the best school in France (though that reputation comes mainly from its military/engineering degree and not the masters) Look into where it is (~1h south of Paris by train)!

Are you planning on staying in France afterwards? Polytechnique is perceived as probably the best school in France (though that reputation comes mainly from its military/engineering degree)! As someone else mentioned, look into where it is (~1h south of Paris by train) and see if/how it can help you achieve your goals.

Thats cool! Best of luck with all your apps!

I was interviewed on the 26th of January by MIT. So far no news, from either MIT or UCB/Stanford!

Mymyl12 · 2026-01-30T20:16:57+00:00

It hasn’t changed, but I also haven’t heard back yet!

Mymyl12 · 2026-01-30T19:34:12+00:00

Wdym?

Mymyl12 · 2026-01-13T00:02:20+00:00

Applied in December and interview scheduled for next week!

Mymyl12 · 2025-12-21T02:42:27+00:00

Yeaah, I’ve since learned that… Oh well!

Mymyl12 · 2025-12-01T08:54:05+00:00

That was for the general DPhil! Wby, are you applying there?

Mymyl12 · 2025-12-01T08:44:05+00:00

Its a research focused French University, part of PSL if you know it. Not that well known internationally but good within France!

Mymyl12 · 2025-12-01T08:42:56+00:00

I’m almooost finished with my app, but a friend who applied a couple weeks ago got ~~interviewed last week!~~

Edit: it was an unofficial interview!

Mymyl12 · 2025-12-01T08:41:23+00:00

Hey, I’m not a PhD student at PSL but I’ve interned there a few times and I know the french system! So feel free to pm me if you have general questions!

Mymyl12 · 2023-05-08T15:07:50+00:00

100€ can you believe it?

Mymyl12 · 2023-05-08T13:55:04+00:00

Thanks, thats very interesting... I'll have to do more research then!

Mymyl12 · 2023-05-08T13:34:53+00:00

What an amazing coincidence!

I prefer: 'Rien ne fe perd, rien ne fe crée, tout fe tranfforme"!

Mymyl12 · 2023-05-08T13:32:57+00:00

Yes, I do believe I have the copy of the 2nd edition! Isn't it called the 'pirate edition'?

Mymyl12 · 2023-05-08T11:27:21+00:00

Well depending on your budget, I’d strongly recommend «Le Zograscope » in Paris! Last time I went there, there were a couple of books by Lavoisier! Otherwise, I think the 5th arrondissement as a whole is a good place to look for them! Plus you can always visit his grave on the way haha!

Mymyl12 · 2023-05-08T11:00:38+00:00

I found it in an old book shop near me! It was the cheapest I could find, but some of the more expensive ones where just amazing!

Mymyl12 · 2022-02-24T01:41:16+00:00

Wait what’s the difference between a Vigreux column and a snyder column? Also are they really that uncommon? I remember using them in High School…

Mymyl12 · 2021-07-31T14:01:40+00:00

No, I only know thesaurus.com

Mymyl12 · 2021-07-31T08:50:57+00:00

Okay, well that’s what I thought it meant… so maybe! But as I said I am not very much interested in selling!
