Skip Ulm as an independent candidate

Knowing that there is no bonus / malus (depending on perspective) in Ulm in the number of years in prépas, I would start the debate:

In what extent is it advantageous for a very good at math (the style of those regularly admitted to the X and Ulm in 3/2 through a prep class) to prepare Ulm as an independent candidate in relation to being framed by a preparation?

I would say:

benefits:
• No loss of time listening to sometimes slow explanations of prof.
• More relaxation
• social stress on Less
• No DS trivial
• No time loss TD

disadvantages:
• No training khôlles, which is important for oral and surcoît is a great experience to live in prep.
• No correction on writing
• Risk of failure if one is not disciplined (like me)

Higher education

Higher education, post-secondary education, tertiary education or third level education is an optional final stage of formal learning that occurs after secondary education. Often delivered at universities, academies, colleges, seminaries, and institutes of technology, higher education is also available through certain college-level institutions, including vocational schools, trade schools, and other career colleges that award academic degrees or professional certifications. Tertiary education at non-degree level is sometimes referred to as further education or continuing education as distinct from higher education.

The right of access to higher education is mentioned in a number of international human rights instruments. The UN International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights of 1966 declares, in Article 13, that "higher education shall be made equally accessible to all, on the basis of capacity, by every appropriate means, and in particular by the progressive introduction of free education". In Europe, Article 2 of the First Protocol to the European Convention on Human Rights, adopted in 1950, obliges all signatory parties to guarantee the right to education.

In the days when few pupils progressed beyond primary education, the term "higher education" was often used to refer to secondary education, which can create some confusion.

University and college admission

University admission or college admission is the process through which students enter tertiary education at universities and colleges. Systems vary widely from country to country, and sometimes from institution to institution.

In many countries, prospective university students apply for admission during their last year of high school or community college. In some countries, there are independent organizations or government agencies to centralize the administration of standardized admission exams and the processing of applications.

Military Education and Training

Military education and training is a process which intends to establish and improve the capabilities of military personnel in their respective roles.

Military education can be voluntary or compulsory duty. Before any person gets authorization to operate technical equipment or be on the battlefield, they must take a medical and often a physical examination. If passed, they may begin primary training.

The primary training is recruit training. Recruit training attempts to teach the basic information and training in techniques necessary to be an effective service member.

To achieve this, service members are drilled physically, technically and psychologically. The drill instructor has the task of making the service members fit for military use.

After finishing basic training, many service members undergo advanced training more in line with their chosen or assigned specialties. In advanced training, military technology and equipment is often taught.

Many large countries have several military academies, one for each branch of the service, that offer college degrees in a variety of subjects, similar to other colleges. However, academy graduates usually rank as officers, and as such have many options besides civilian work in their major subject. Higher-ranking officers also have further educational opportunities.

Tertiary education

Tertiary education, also referred to as third stage, third level, and post-secondary education, is the educational level following the completion of a school providing a secondary education. The World Bank, for example, defines tertiary education as including universities as well as institutions that teach specific capacities of higher learning such as colleges, technical training institutes, community colleges, nursing schools, research laboratories, centers of excellence, and distance learning centers. Higher education is taken to include undergraduate and postgraduate education, while vocational education and training beyond secondary education is known as further education in the United Kingdom, or continuing education in the United States.

Tertiary education generally culminates in the receipt of certificates, diplomas, or academic degrees.

School

A school is an institution designed for the teaching of students (or "pupils") under the direction of teachers. Most countries have systems of formal education, which is commonly compulsory.[citation needed] In these systems, students progress through a series of schools. The names for these schools vary by country (discussed in the Regional section below) but generally include primary school for young children and secondary school for teenagers who have completed primary education. An institution where higher education is taught, is commonly called a university college or university.

In addition to these core schools, students in a given country may also attend schools before and after primary and secondary education. Kindergarten or pre-school provide some schooling to very young children (typically ages 3–5). University, vocational school, college or seminary may be available after secondary school. A school may also be dedicated to one particular field, such as a school of economics or a school of dance. Alternative schools may provide nontraditional curriculum and methods.

Admission prep: Folders and results - "Who goes where"

Hello: hello :,

I "fun" to do a general survey of "Who goes where" since 2008 (2008 - 2009 - 2010 - 2011 - 2012 - 2013 -2014)

The goal is to enable future applicants in prep to have one list available when they want to take a look at records of people who were admitted to a particular prépa (nicks are then in blue, just click it to open the web page directly overlooking the folder). And for those who did not leave a link to their applications, students can always send them a PM.

I also specifies that it is quite normal if you see several times the nickname of the same person, because I have listed institutions where people were admitted, but that does not necessarily mean that they have gone there, they have built. Because as I said, this list should be used primarily for high school students, so they can compare folders and try to assess their chances of being admitted to a particular school. But whether we agree: if you feel a folder as good as yours, it does not necessarily mean that you will be taken in the same establishment.

Finally, you'll notice that I added two more selective schools that do not offer CPGEs: Dauphine (Paris) and Sciences Po (Paris), since there is also a selection on file for these courses typically prized by applicants in prep.

For a list, see and / or download on this link (last edict of 18/03/2012).

If I made any mistakes, please report them to me. And if other people want to appear on the list, it is found;-).

: thank you:
