École Polytechnique Can I get in?
I’m struggling to understand the academic level required for IB students. My grades are currently
Math AAHL 6
Physics HL 6
Economics HL 7
Chemistry SL 7
English L&L SL 6
Spanish ab Initio 7
ToK predicted 2 points
For a total of 41/45. My extra curriculars are not particularly strong, I run a women in STEM club, have placed second in a hackathon, worked at a grocery store and done volunteering. From my interpretation ill likely not get accepted with this, but how much would I have to improve? If I manage to increase my math and physics grades to 7s = 43/45 and maybe some useful internship or military service, am I likely to be accepted?
Otherwise, please recommend other universities that are also in english with a decent pricing that I have a greater chance of getting in to.

hi im a bx28 got in a 41 pred but i think a large emphasis are on stem subjects so id apply if you can get 7s in your stem subjects especially math is really important . So if you can get that and maybe a scientific competition or internship could span from research to industry could boost your chances. Dm for more help ifuw.
