Sciences-Po Paris

...Sorry, thought you said for the interview not after. I haven't heard back from them yet, but they told me that it will take about a month.

Hi, for me it took 11 days.

I was admitted after 2 weeks.

Hi
I'm Gian Paolo and I'm currently taking IB in England. I'm Italian, but I speak English fluently and I took three years of French, so I understand the basics and know grammar, but I couldn't take a course in French. My predicted is 39, TOK included, and I'd like to study the European-American track at Sciences Po. I've been told there is a written test to take, but I can't find it on the International section on the website. Do you think I have a chance to get in and do you have any tips?
Thanks in advance !

Oh I'm happy! I have exactly a 3.8 gpa so hopefully that will be enough at least for sciences although sciences po + Columbia seems like a strech unless they go easier on non-natives taking sats

Hi everyone! I hope this thread is not too old... I am applying to Sciences Po campus of Menton for the year 2018 and I was wondering what kind of reference letters they like to see. Because on their website it says that language teachers are not the best option for a reference letter but language teachers are the only ones that I feel could write a decent reference letter since I basically changed all the other teachers. Is a literature teacher considered a language teacher for this?

Hi! Fair warning- I'm no expert but this is just what I think:

I don't think they would consider a literature teacher to be a language teacher. However, they would definitely prefer to see a recommendation from someone who is a teacher of, for instance, Politics. Maybe you could ask someone like your school college counsellor to write it instead? They are normally able to consult all relevant subject teachers so you'll essentially get the best of both worlds

But to be honest, at the end of the day it just boils down to how well your lit teacher manages to write your reference. If he/she is able to connect your inclination towards politics to your language skills, I don't see how it is a problem. He/she can also mention (like your counsellor does) that the reference has been written after consulting all concerned teachers so it's a holistic assessment.

Hope this helps!

Ahah yeah thank you, in the end I chose my english lit teacher and maths teacher to do it. My school doesn't offer any Politics courses so that's why haha. Another question, after you have sent in your application how long does it take them to contact you? thanks

Hi I'm Jana Sweeney, I'm currently studying at Sciences Po Paris in Menton! I created this thread to allow anyone who had any sort of questions about applying or the university in general to ask me here!
