<p>I’m not positive, but I think your country’s committee will tell you which UWC you can attend. I don’t know everything about the admissions process, but that’s what I’ve heard.</p>

<p>thanx for you reply,
the national committee wants me to choose
before they can actually send a letter to them,
I am still not sure which one i should attend</p>

<p>It’s hard to tell. Adriatic because you like swimming? Ha. From the post time, you probably already chose. What did you do?</p>

<p>All the schools will offer you the option of doing the SAT’s, so doing worry about that! From what you’ve written, it seems like UWC Adriatic in Italy would be a great option for you. It’s campus is integrated in a small italien village, giving you loads of opportunities to really interact with the locals and pick up some italien. Adriatic is also the only one with a very clear focus on music, and especially classical music. They have ties to a music school there, and at the beginning of the year there are auditions and if you get in you’ll have music classes and such throughout your uwc experience as well! There’s music classes at every school, but at some there are better teachers than others.
Generally the National Committees will place you where they feel you fit best, though of course taking your choices in account. Kind of like the sorting hat. While saying that, there are only certain spots per country per school, based on scholarships. It sounds like all the things you listed makes you an ideal Italy candidate, so don’t stress about it too much :)</p>
