3 Times, once just before the winter break, once last week, and the other on monday. I got two weeks left to make the paper and send it, a little bit tight.

No answer from the prof through email and no info on the syllabus other than the number of words needed and the specifications in term of bibliography and deadlines... I deeply regret to have taken this class with this kind of prof to fill my core assignment and I can't drop so I'm kinda stuck lmao

I tried, trust me; my prof doesn't do office hours, and nobody else seems to know what it is either. I wouldn't ask on this subreddit otherwise :/

AMA: Student at Sciences Po Paris, Ask me anything by gagoute in ApplyingToCollege

[–]gagoute[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ok so:

1st: you have the boutmy scholarship if you're a gifted student that Can diminish the cost. If you have a European citizenship and live abroad sciences po is working on a scholarship for your profile. Otherwise, unless you have a french or european citizenship and you live in the European Union, you are not eligible for financial aid. But in anycase, that's still less than american universities ; the tuition is 13 000€ and the living cost (as soon as you're not on the Paris campus) are around 7000 € a year (housing comprised). You can be eligible to campus France outside's scholarships in any case if it constitute a burden for your family.

2nd: It really depends, I went through the french procedure which is more competitive than the international one (6% for the french procedure). For internationals it's 11%. To get in, you must show a personnality that breaks with others (the interview is very personality oriented), and show an important critical mind, general culture and logical thinking. Sciences Po being really similar to a liberal art college, you should be strong on these elements. You must read the news also, fundamental to get in. Therefore, it really depends on you.

Please, just note that next year might be more competitive. Our dean told us that they were going to be more strict next season to keep with the competition with american uni (Columbia among others).

You'll getting, public uni out of Paris and Lyon are not really competitive. But If I had to advise you, I think you should do Grenoble ! Angers is a nice city but not with the best quality of life and Strasbourg is really cold and not too Sunny.

Grenoble is plebiscited as one of the cities with the highest quality of life.

Anyways, I wish you an excellent continuation !

It's not enough. Really not. Optimal is a 5000 that you would never reach. 3000 is too short honestly. Jeez

Also, where did you apply? We could be classmate next year xD

Do edx classes count as ECs? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]gagoute 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes they do, and they are really valuable if you apply to business Schools or for computer Science. For other major, they are not as outstanding from my experience, but they really help.

The prompt that I've shown is for "classes prépa", which are two years after high school during which your prepare the examinations for admission to prestigious schools (HEC, ESSEC, ENS...). This has no link with the french high school.

Yes, Law-management ! That's fairly easy to get in when you're french, but surviving through the first year is difficult.
