You want to be an officer? Here is a military school with a lot of maths.
You want to work a high position in the administration? I'm afraid you will have to take a ranked test with a fuckload of maths.
Med school ranked exam? Maths (and it's not even statistics).
If you are one of the mathematically gifted however you will be allowed in palaces called "Grandes Écoles" where the state will spend tens of thousands of bucks a year on you so you have the comfiest material conditions and the brightest professors teaching you (probably the highest density of professors per student), they even go as far as PAYING salaries to the students.
This leads to most of the country hating maths because the topic is used to select people (weed out) and not to be really taught, let alone enjoyed.
If you cruised through it upnto high school you can do whatever you want however.
Unlike american or british colleges you don't have to be part of clubs or associations or whatever in bonus of your high GPA, as long you nailed your maths exams (and at a lesser extent chemistry/physics) you can go anywhere.
This all comes back to Napoléon thinking he was a maths genius because knew how to do basic trig with his artillery and decided that maths should be the core component of "higher" education when he reformed it, before that it used to be latin (for many reasons).
Ever since maths have been institutionalized as the "hunger game" discipline of french education and parents spend an absurd amount of money on tutors so there kids don't fall back in class, especially since most middle-high school maths teachers are pure garbage.
