Are people toxic and super competitive over clubs, activities, etc. or is it chill? Ik it differs from UWC to UWC but just trying to gauge an idea - especially for the europeans UWCs. Thanks!
How hard is it to get decent grades at UWC?Achieving high marks has always been a bit of a challenge for me, but I am consistently improving every day. Still, I am not sure if I should even try to apply if the academic pressure is too overwhelming.
Hello everyone! I’m going to G10 and trying to apply to UWC through a NC this year. Is it practically possible to have enough time to draw and paint while studying in a college? Are there any classes that specialize on this and that i can attend during my education time? I am really worried about the application process because i found out about UWC only a few days ago. After graduating school I wanted to apply for fine arts academies but i have to have a portfolio for that, so i was thinking that i would make it during my 10th and 11th grades at school but now due to lack of time I’m afraid that i wont be able to do it in time. If anyone has any experience in this or something similar, please share it with me. I would be really grateful. Thank you a lot
Hey! Im currently going through the application for UWC via USA NC.
Here is what i’ve learned so far, literally just going through the first step of the application, and i feel like writing it out to tell others.
What does it truly mean to be apart of UWC?
You see, i’ve talked to the most amazing alumni from UWC ISAK, and got extremely varying answers.
Thats because, there’s different aspects about a person that impact their opinion.
UWC isnt looking for a picture perfect person.
Because of this, everyone is different.
People from all over the world, with different aspects about themselves. Different backgrounds, different opportunities, different class, different stories and more.
What happens if all of these people come together?
Then, you make something called. UWC.
If UWC was made of picture perfect candidates, then it wouldn’t be what it is.
Earlier, when i was starting to write my essays. I was wondering, “Am i enough? Am i what they want?”
But theres no real answer.
What is being enough for UWC? There’s nothing that makes a selection committee go;
“Your enough.”
For what exactly?
You don’t need a billion leadership experiences to be in UWC. Matter of fact, some alumni had none.
If UWC only selected candidates that were “leaders”, how would that play out?
I’ll demonstrate. Let’s say the leaders are teachers and the non leaders are students.
If UWC selects a class of just teachers, where are the students to learn the knowledge?
But it’s not to say being a leader isnt wanted at UWC.
(I mean in my scenario you kinda do need a teacher for the students, but the students could simply self study the material with the help of each other, so.. i guess i wrote a paradox??)
Thank you for listening to my ramble, best of luck on your applications!
Rate my digital art I already make arts but its my first digital I am looking forward to be an animator
so this I and a friend of mine have planned to apply to UWC, a dream come true situation as we were planning this since our grade 8. I am really nervous and anxious about what to do and if even I’ll be nominated or not. My fear of not being the person who gets Nominated is growing all over me.
I would genuinely be thankful for letting me know how they felt and what they did of experienced people who were selected by UWC or have been studying at UWCs.
Hey everyone!
I am a person who is willing to apply to uwc this year.
And since uwc is a very crowded place , it will probably have triggering sounds at most times .
I might ask if the nc wouldn't see me as a fit if I couldn't handle triggering sounds?
