Application Sheet · École Polytechnique [FR]

Nguyen Gia Bao Nam (Michael Nam)

One-page submission sheet prepared for École Polytechnique's Bachelor track in Mathematics and Computer Science.

Country

France [FR]

Mathematical stretch submission

University

École Polytechnique [FR]

Not a pure AI bachelor. It is best viewed as a math-heavier launchpad that only makes sense if the family accepts a later move into applied AI, advanced computing, or graduate study.

Cost

€90,000 to €108,000

Estimated total cost to plan around before scholarship.

With scholarship

€32,400 to €50,400

Tuition waived, but the annual administration fee still remains.

Submission posture

Stretch submission copy

Prepared as a deliberate stretch packet, not as a generic send-everywhere file.

I prepared this one-page sheet as the front document for a École Polytechnique application packet. It keeps my verified Vinschool record, the clearest external competition signals in my file, and my current 1Matrix internship in one fast-read document.

Positioning Statement

Keep this deeply selective and intellectually serious: mathematical readiness, disciplined learning, and long-run optionality into advanced computing or research. My file is strongest when it reads as a serious, disciplined fit for this programme rather than as a prestige-first application.
