SpaceCat Fit Notes

- GPA window & upgrading strategy: Moot — French instruction is an absolute barrier.
- Experiential / written advantage: Supplemental and interview components exist, but all in French. SpaceCat’s shelter work experience is irrelevant without the language prerequisite.

- Overall assessment: Not viable — All instruction in French. Admits ~1 OOP Canadian per year. French proficiency exam required.
