“if you can bring a car. don't apply unless you have a good scientific level. Polytechnique only accepts the top 2% of French students and you should have a similar level. If you go there don't take too many classes and projects but also leave some time to take profit of the sport and other activities avaivable and to meet the other students go to Paris etc.” Read Review
