Intellectual AI stretch submission

University

PSL University [FR]

The clearest France fit from your notes: a direct English-taught AI bachelor whose first cohort started in September 2025. It is real and newly launched, but the current official 2026/27 fee grid lists €19,500 for non-EU students, so it is not a tuition-free default route.

Cost

€84,000 to €102,000

Estimated total cost to plan around before scholarship.

With scholarship

€25,500 to €43,500

Full tuition-waiver scenario; Paris living costs still remain.

Submission posture

Selective submission copy

Prepared for a more selective review where fit, evidence, and packet quality all matter.

Why this packet fits the university

This packet can make an intellectually serious AI case for Paris, but it should stay honest that the route only becomes realistic when funding is strong enough.

What this packet is meant to show

This packet is written for PSL University and its programme, not as a generic prestige statement reused everywhere.
The evidence base is real: verified school record, competition signals, and a current internship update.
The academic direction, school fit, and evidence layer all need to stay clear from the first page.

Applicant frame

Nguyen Gia Bao Nam is a Vietnam-based applicant with verified Vinschool Hanoi continuity from grade 1 through grade 10 and promotion to grade 11 after the 2024-2025 year.

Target-school fit

Excellent for a student who wants a direct AI degree in a very strong academic context and is willing to handle a demanding Paris environment, but it should still be read as a scholarship-first France play rather than a low-fee route because the current 2026/27 fee grid lists €19,500 for non-EU fiscal residence.

Official route

Centralized system plus university follow-up via Parcoursup + Campus France / EEF. The statement and school-specific framing matter, but only when routed through the required national system.

Motivation summary

My strongest dossier for PSL University should show a student aiming for practical AI and computing, with strong long-run academic discipline, early external competition signals, and a clear reason why this institution fits my version of technical growth.

Make this file more intellectual and mission-shaped: direct AI study, serious academic environment, and interest in useful real-world systems.

School-fit table

Theme	What to include
Programme fit	The clearest France fit from your notes: a direct English-taught AI bachelor whose first cohort started in September 2025. It is real and newly launched, but the current official 2026/27 fee grid lists €19,500 for non-EU students, so it is not a tuition-free default route.
Academic reason	One of the strongest shortlist options if the student wants a direct AI degree with access to serious research and later graduate pathways, while still needing to convert that strength into practical systems, labs, or internships over time.
Student-life fit	Rich and intellectually stimulating, but more adult and city-shaped than a classic residential campus.
Budget logic	€84,000 to €102,000 total before scholarship. €25,500 to €43,500 with scholarship.
