<p>Hey!
I'm planning on applying to the United World Colleges next year and i was wondering if anyone around here is going there or has been admitted before.
I was wondering if you could basically tell me about the expierence and how the whole thing is, also i'm very curious to know about your application process, what do you usally get asked for during the interviews, and if you went to the camps they do what activities did you do?, and how does the whole giving scholarships and sending you to one college works.
I'm also thinking about what's good for curriculum, right now for my community service i'm working with a recycling program, i'm getting work at a library, with a social worker getting food for needed people, and a program protecting turtles, and maybe helping out at an orphanage, so i was just wondering if that sounded any good, and maybe if you could help me out with some tips, suggestions, and maybe ideas to give my application and curriculum the edge i need. I trully am working hard for this because right now it means the world.
And you have no idea how much i would love your help!

<p>My son will be graduating from the United World College of the Atlantic this year. He is a US student (as you probably know, the students are sent from many different countries).</p>
<p>They are looking for independent students (so you want to have attended programs where you are away from home) – they don’t want homesick kids. They are looking for maturity, open-mindedness, interest in other cultures/races/religions, solid academics, initiative, sense of service to others and a good ability to communicate.</p>
<p>Pursue what you are interested in – my son did scouts, environmental work, library volunteer, teen court, civil air patrol and other stuff. He had a passion (world religions) and he had traveled abroad (spent the summer in Egypt) and multiple summer camps when he applied. He had also done a semester boarding school program.</p>
<p>Application is due early Jan, I think. He was contacted in March for the interview – which involved driving him to New Mexico to the UWC in the US. The cost for travel to the interview wall all ours and it is required. They do interviews in different places in the US – but not necessarily in your home town. Ours was 5 hours away. </p>
<p>The interview was just an interview and tour of the facility – no activities or anything. I know that has been done in the past – but not the year my son applied.</p>
<p>The scholarship is pretty straightforward – $10,000 per year at any of the UWC partner colleges in the US. It is need based – so if your EFC is 99,999 it won’t help you. However, if you get any FA at all it will help – it can be used to offset loans and work-study requirements.</p>
<p>My son is applying for 2013 uwc admissions.</p>
<p>uwc are the best colleges in world with a long term vision of changing the world for better.</p>
