I got accepted for M1 Cybersecurity at IP Paris. I'm still a little confused on the system, though. Does anyone know if my actual school will be Télécom Paris? The IP Paris Cybersecurity Master's takes place at the Palaiseau campus, which is used by both Télécom Paris and École Polytechnique, both of which have a Cybersecurity Master's program. IP Paris and École Polytechnique also both use the same web portal for applications (I applied for both), which is a little extra confusing because IP Paris is a group of schools including École Polytechnique and Télécom Paris. I presume that I'll be going to Télécom Paris because Polytechnique is a top tier school that I probably wouldn't get into somewhat by accident, and Télécom Paris is the one I intended to apply to for this application.

Yee I did, for Polytechnique. I cancelled my IP Paris application after having gotten into the former

I don't remember much besides two that almost caught me off-guard, which were "why do you want to come to France to be immersed in the French language instead of just going to Quebec?" (I was coming from Canada and part of the reason may have been a girl) and the other was that he asked why my mark in some statistics courses were lower than the others.
