International student applying to SciencesPo

Hi everyone,

I really need help here. I am an Asian student and I'm interested in pursuing my undergraduate studies in political science at SciencesPo (the Euro-Asia campus at Le Havre). I've been digging hard for information but it's so difficult! The website is vague and I can't seem to find international students like myself on the Internet. I even emailed SciencesPo but they gave me a one-line reply which didn't answer my questions.

Here my question: What are the admission requirements for international students? I know it's a prestigious university in France and I didn't get straight A's. I'm very inconfident about my results. I have GCE A-Levels (just took it last year) and GCE O-Levels.

Thanks a lot!!

Hey there I applied to the Euro Asia programme at Le Havre earlier in March, and I got accepted on their Emile Boutmy scholarship! I wish I found this forum earlier, because I went through a very similarly confusing and terribly insecure experience as you... Their website offers very little information and even after joining the Le Havre group on Facebook, I still haven't gotten to know anybody. This is in comparison to Wellesley's group, where I fully intended on going before I got accepted into Sciences Po... Everyone there was lively and talkative and excited - I actually felt welcome :smile:

As an international student who speaks zero French except for the touristy "comment ca va", I'm still going through a very insecure time wondering if I'm making the right choice... Nobody in Asia seems to have even heard of ScPo!

As to your questions, I submitted my high school transcript (I go to a US-accredited international school, so it was in terms of GPA) and my predicted IB grades. My predicted grades were pretty good, but not excellent. As for my transcript, well, it wasn't that great, I had a C in HL Math... But anyway how did your application go?? I realize this is a very late reply to your post but I'm so excited to have finally found someone else out there!
