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.

Student Statement

Prepared for the 2027 cycle

Admissions Review
École Polytechnique
Bachelor track in Mathematics and Computer Science

Dear Admissions Review Team,

I am applying to École Polytechnique because I want an English-medium bachelor's route that takes practical AI and computing seriously. My file is not built around a single one-year spike. It is built around a verified Vinschool Hanoi record from grade 1 through grade 10, promotion to grade 11 after the 2024-2025 year, and a pattern of strong performance in mathematics, informatics, technology, history, and other structured subjects.

The clearest external signals in my current file are the HKICO Silver Award in Python, the HKIMO Bronze Award in mathematics, and AMC 10 participation. My current profile also includes an internship at 1Matrix, which is my earliest documented industry exposure beyond school and competitions.

Keep this deeply selective and intellectually serious: mathematical readiness, disciplined learning, and long-run optionality into advanced computing or research.

Thank you for reading my file carefully.

Michael Nam

Evidence And Distinction Layer

The record shows long-run academic stability rather than one isolated spike. The student reads as disciplined, coachable, and repeatedly strong in quantitative or structured subjects.
A

The current industry-facing line is Internship at 1Matrix, a blockchain company in the One Mount-Techcombank ecosystem. Detailed deliverables are still a later dossier upgrade, not a present claim.

Target-School Fit

FranceBachelor track in Mathematics and Computer ScienceMathematical stretch submission
Why École Polytechnique is the right target for this packet

This packet only works when it can justify real mathematical readiness, disciplined study habits, and the appetite for a high-pressure, high-upside route.

Best only if the student can tolerate a math-heavier launchpad in exchange for long-term optionality into advanced computing, applied AI systems, research, or top-end graduate study.

This target currently reads against the following public ranking lines: QS World University Rankings 2025 (Institut Polytechnique de Paris umbrella): 46 and QS Computer Science & Information Systems 2025 (Institut Polytechnique de Paris umbrella): 36.

The packet should keep one thing clear: this university needs to make sense not only by name, but by programme fit, academic direction, and a realistic route to attendance.
