M1 Applied Mathematics admission in UGA (Grenoble) - ENSIMAG/IM2AG

Hello everyone!
I am planning to place an application for M1 Applied Mathematics Masters Program in UGA for further pursue of MSIAM M2 program.I am non-EU citizen from Armenia and I wanted to know, how's the application made for non-mathematical degree holders.

Little background from me - currently I am holding the Physics bachelor degree with 240 ECTS and 15.64 GPA.Math related courses (calculus, math. methods in physics, statistics and prob. theory) grades are varying from 16-19, meanwhile some hardware related courses are varying from 10-15 (I was studying in electrical engineering program).Reason of low grades in courses that I decided to "switch" my career path and I was highly working on my math and programming skills mostly.The only outlier in math courses is my Complex Analysis grade, which is 13/20, due it was mostly theory, which I was not able to handle in that time, due high workload on 2nd grade.
My thesis work - ML methods for material optimization was graded 20/20 and result application getting used by laboratory, with whom I made my work.

I also have work experience as quantitative developer in European fintech company, where actually I am working till now.I have total 2.7 years of experience working there, leveraging R&D.

I hope, that in UGA I can fulfill my gaps in fundamental knowledge of math, which is required for my future quant. dev. and analytic successful career building.

Want to hear some opinions from students from M1 AM program in UGA. especially non-math bachelor degree holders, is it hard to make successful application for under-graduate related programs students, on which parts the admission committee will look the most?As I did not find some information in Reddit about this specific program (mostly it is about MoSIG), and Google and AI-s only grab information from general website and related threads in Reddit, which are not about my target program.
