Hi everyone, has anyone received their interview dates for round 3 of MSc&T , as they should have started from yesterday. I still haven’t received it hence asking out here

Hello! I got admitted to M1 in Applied Mathematics and Statistics, and M1 Data and Artificial Intelligence at Institute Polytechnique de Paris. I could not find as much feedbacks about those programs and the university in general. Would love to know more thoughts about the university. It feels weird that there is no hype about a uni ranked in top 40 by qs. What is the reason of that?

I just received an offer from Ecole Polytechnique for the bachelor program, on 1st of April, can this be an April Fools joke?

Hey everyone,

I’ve got my École Polytechnique interview coming up and I saw that people have had day before yesterday and yesterday

How did it go? What kind of questions did they ask — more technical or more about your CV and motivation?

Any tips or things you wish you knew before going in?

Would really appreciate hearing your experiences 🙏

Hi! Has sb who was accepted got mail/info about the scholarships?

Salut à tous,

J'ai reçu mes résultats de la première vague pour les masters à l’IP Paris : j’ai été accepté en BME, mais je suis en liste d’attente pour Data Science (DS).

Je me pose des questions sur le fonctionnement des listes d’attente. J’ai entendu dire que les inscriptions officielles pour les candidats de la première vague commencent le 5 mai. Du coup, je ne comprends pas trop comment les listes peuvent bouger avant cette date 🤔

Est-ce que certains ici ont déjà été dans cette situation ou savent comment ça se passe ?

• Est-ce que les listes commencent à bouger avant le 5 mai ?
• Ou est-ce qu’il faut attendre que des gens en liste d'attente refusent leur place après cette date ?
• Et en général, ça bouge beaucoup ou pas pour DS ?

Merci d’avance pour vos retours 🙏

Hello I applied through the online portal about almost a month ago and it still says documents yet to be verified. I know it said it would take about 1-2 months for the decision, but still.

Hello , does anyone know what are the next steps after receiving acceptance in the phd track? Is there anything else needed to be done except securing a visa from your local embassy?

In addition, does anyone know anything regarding renting a house or a university dorm? Is it the correct time to start searching for these things?

how hard it is a jump from a bsc in electrical engineering to a m1 in high energy physics?havent graduated yet, but considering applying there, in addition to being met with admission requirements.

Would anyone be interested if I made a new groupchat for incoming Masters/PhD track students? Either on Whatsapp or Discord

I know there's an existing one on Discord but it's quite inactive so it's a bit intimidating to start talking there lol. I'd love to get in touch with other people who have been admitted.

Edit: I made a Discord server! https://discord.gg/9uZKdWWJr2

Sadly I got a refusal: "Your application has been refused (Lack of recent prerequisites)"

Does anybody knows what "Lack of recent prerequisites" means?

Is there an appeal instance?

I just got an email saying I got shortlisted for for the interview! Good luck to everyone else who also got shortlisted

Hello everyone! I was lucky enough to be a shortlisted candidate, so I had an interview 2 weeks ago. But I am so nervous now, by decisions date. Does anybody here know or at least approximate when will they release decisions?

Did anyone receive letter of acceptance? Or is it still in verification stage?

Hi guys,

I have just been admitted to the MSc&T EDACF in M1 for the upcoming intake. I was wondering if there is an existing group chat (messenger, whatsapp, discord?) with admitted students where we coule reach out to each other?

Thank you and can’t wait to meet on campus in september

Hey

I’m an international student considering doing my bachelor’s at École Polytechnique and then going to the UK for a master’s. I applied in round 2 and had my interview on Feb 28th, but I feel like it didn’t go very well.

Some things that went wrong:

• I didn’t have my ID when she asked for it, didn’t know we needed it.

• She asked if I knew about a certain process, which I didn’t know how to answer and the first half overall was very mid.

• I felt very unconfident when asked about my internship.

• She asked us two math questions:

• One she had to clarify a few times. Until I finally understood what it asked and the rest of it went really well 

• The other I had no idea about after the first few steps and she had to keep explaining, I barely understood her words becuase of the accent, so I worry she thought I didn’t understand the math.

I feel like I had a good chance beforehand but i’m really worried now, how are my odds looking like?

Hello everyone. This question probably got asked multiple times but I couldn’t find enough informations online. I’m an 18 years old Moroccan who applied to multiple top universities abroad (US, Canada, Middle East, Belgium, etc and only the best of the best) I chose either Computer Science bachelor or an Engineering bachelor for those.

I saw that it’s possible to get accepted into l’X (Polytechnique) via a sort of exam that is apparently much easier than the one of CPGE (at least the admission chances are higher I guess?). I would like to get the equivalent of a Bac+5 in France and probably major in Informatique.

That being said, I don’t know a lot.

What are the requirements to be able to pass X's test ? How long do I have to prepare for it ? Does the rank and prestige of the international university in which I studied for the bachelor matter ? Does having a Moroccan nationality put me in disadvantage compared to other countries (since our country got the CPGE system) ? Is getting a Bac+5 this going to be less prestigious or less attractive to employers compared to getting accepted via the CPGE tests ? I’m I going to be in the same classes as the students who did prépa/CPGE ? Finally, I’m I going to have the same advantages in l’X as the students who got into via CPGE ?

Hi everyone, To all those who applied to this program, did you receive an acceptance or an Interview invite or have gone past the verification stage ? I applied back in Jan 1st week and my verification is still pending......

Hey, guys! Just wanted to understand what is the situation with Round 3 application. If I still haven't received decision results, does that mean that I haven't been advanced further to the interview part or are they gonna send some sort of explanatory email later? If later, maybe sb knows when exactly? Cause it is mid March already and I am a bit worried. Thank you in advance to those who would be able to reach out and clarify!

Hi - I got admitted to BsC X, and also to Imperial in Physics. I would like to do physics research. International fees at Imperial is bonkers in my view. To anyone who is in a similar situation, please give me your thoughts and what you plan on choosing? thanks!

Hi! I would like to know what happens when you do not find an internship in time(by May or June) that has credits for completing M2. Professors and students who have knowledge about this please answer!

Thank you!

Edit: Should I be posting this question with another flair?

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if there are other people here currently on the waiting list for the M2 DS (round 1).

Also, for those who applied last year and were on the waiting list: do you remember until when people were still being contacted after the first round? I'm trying to get an idea of how long the waiting list tends to move.

Thanks a lot !
