You can apply to programmes of any type: universities, engineering schools, BTS, BUT, business schools, etc.

⚠️ You cannot apply to programmes to which you had already applied during the main phase.

How many application choices can you make?

Up to 10 application choices in total during the complementary phase. You can add them progressively, as you identify programmes that interest you.

How do the responses work?

Responses arrive on a rolling basis, as in the main phase:

• Yes or Yes-if: you are admitted, respond within the deadline
