Research / mission packet

Nguyen Gia Bao Nam (Michael Nam)

A mission-shaped application packet for École Polytechnique.

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.

The strongest forward-looking case in my current file is not abstract AI enthusiasm. It is the combination of disciplined quantitative work, practical software-building growth, and the longer-term aim to use AI in systems that remain useful, understandable, and durable.

Applied AISoftware buildingTrustworthy systemsLong-run research literacy

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

I want my file for École Polytechnique to read as thoughtful and school-specific, not like a generic AI statement reused everywhere.
  • Verified school-record continuity and promotion to grade 11
  • External competition layer: HKICO Silver, HKIMO Bronze, AMC 10 participation
  • Current industry update through the 1Matrix internship
  • A school-specific reason tied to the programme itself
