Even though French kids often matriculate to a university near home, when at all possible, the main reason why the SAT is not used by French universities is because of the language discrepancy. That said, a 4.1 makes Sorbonne a realistic option. A safety, most likely, but there is no indication whatsoever of minimum grades (even if they were made public, they would vary greatly from a licence to another), since the run-of-the-mill French universities are non-holistic.

In fact, the real competition in French higher education is concentrated at some more or less elite schools called the “Grandes Écoles” (HEC Paris, Polytechnique, to name the most famous and selective of them).
