Please note: admission is highly competitive and normally requires higher grades than the minimum requirement.

You may apply in your last year of studies if you include predicted grades with your application. If your school cannot give you predicted grades, you can instead apply with your previous high school grades including the fall semester grades from your last year.

NB: Students in the final year of upper secondary school in the following countries cannot apply before they have graduated (because assessment cannot be made until final grades have been issued) and must instead take a gap year before applying (see this page):

• Cameroon GCE

  Please note: if your French school is able to give you predicted grades (relevé de notes) including predicted final GPA (Moyenne Finale), then you are able to apply with predicted grades when still in your final year.
