    Hi Nora,
    Just a small correction : ''Grandes Ecoles" in France are not private institutions, for the majority they are public. They are more selective in a sense that you have to pass a competitive exam to be admitted.

    1) If someone is an EU citizen but takes the national Baccalaureate in their (EU) country (which I heard isn't the same as the European Bac, since that's only done in "European Schools" and the student went to a national school. Even the number of exams taken is different.. but maybe I'm mistaken?), is that national bac still valid in France if they also have DALF? If not, is there a way to get it recognized or to take an equivalency exam or to take the European/French Bac without having to repeat the courses? And does the person still use Parcoursup and pay the same fees as other EU citizens?
    2) If the application deadline is 6 months before the Bac exam, but the admission requires a certain grade on the Bac, can the student still apply and send the Bac scores later?

      I would suggest to contact the French university you want to get into directly and ask them! But normally, you should apply via Parcoursup because you're a EU citizen

      It’s fine if you don’t have the results! They ask the last results you have and then you just need (if accepted) to show you finished high school (or bachelor)
