Yeah, it's brutal. 7000 applicants for 500 spots... that's a 7% acceptance rate. Brutal. And you're right, French students definitely have an advantage.

It's a tough hill to climb. Honestly, looking at those numbers, your chances aren't great unless your application is exceptional. Killer grades, amazing recommendations, a compelling personal statement showing why you specifically should be admitted... the works. Have you looked into other universities in Paris or even other French cities? Broadening your options might be a good idea. Don't put all your eggs in one basket, especially one this small.

Honestly, the Champs-Élysées is a total zoo for fireworks. Try the Parc de la Villette. It's a bit further out, but you'll get a decent view and it's way less crowded. Grab a spot early, though, even there it gets busy. Pack a picnic; avoids those crazy firework-night prices.
