UWC Applicants for the 2013 school year!

<p>I’m living in India but i’m an American citizen which is why i applied directly to the college!</p>

<p>Hmm, does someone want to try email? I need to get going but I can send one when I get home later…</p>

<p>Sure I will try. The only problem I can think of is that I may not be home until 6pm my time w(hich would be 4pm NM time) so hopefully the offices will not be closed.</p>

<p>i already emailed Tim Smith like four days ago… seems like noone wants to reply! :stuck_out_tongue: even on the fb group :(</p>

<p>Try to be patient. They will contact you by e-mail ASAP! Good luck to all of you!</p>

<p>Does anyone else feel like tomorrow will be the first real step in deciding the rest of our lives? Tomorrow will help give us an idea that we could possibly be half way across the world next year with completely new friends and ideas. I mean, I am completely and utterly scared about tomorrow. I don’t know what will happen, but I am excited for it. I know it isn’t the end of the world and I know things will continue, but such an opportunity and such a great experience could be ahead of us all. Best of luck to each and everyone of you. We are all in this together, no matter what… So take some deep breathes and lets hope for the best.</p>

<p>@lindzmm I think kyraerika was under the impression that they might be postponed because on the UWC USA facebook page (not the admissions page), they said that the interviews were “typically announced in March,” but anything may or may not be right at this point! I’m really really hoping it’s tomorrow, because there’s a high chance of it being a snow day on Thursday, perfect for an emotional breakdown :D</p>

<p>…I’m already having an emotional breakdown WHOOPS</p>

<p>My mom is in New Mexico right now, if ya’ll want me to ask her to call Tim Smith and ask, I’m sure she’d be more than willing to do it! And along the lines of a few other people- I’m feeling the way you are exactly! It’s so funny, but I keep wondering what I have to offer compared to all of you wonderful people. I’m glad that I’m not alone in that, this forum is a great place right now.</p>

<p>Tomorrow is going to be a nervewracking day. Can you believe it is soo close?</p>

<p>The nerves are killing me too :O</p>

<p>I have this video by the brilliant and inspiring Ze Frank prepped and ready to go:

<p>It better be tomorrow, I’m not getting my hopes up. I’m expecting them to be a bit late, I’m sure they have a ton of applicants.</p>

<p>Wouldn’t it be nice if the emails were sent at midnight? And then we could know right away, and sleep on whatever the result is …</p>

<p>I’d prefer tomorrow after school because of the probable snow day on Thursday for me!</p>

<p>To be honest, I’m not sure if I want to know. I may just leave the email unopened. Forever content.</p>

<p>@Ashbry8 and yeah, it’s very likely to be postponed, seeing how so much has already been pushed back! This one can’t be pushed back too far, though, because it needs to be enough time before the date of the actual interview for people to make plans, and the interviews themselves need to be early enough that they can make all of the decisions by April 16th (because the website says that they give two weeks to decide after being accepted and that the parent-student acceptance form is due by the 30th. I HAVE DONE MUCH SLEUTHING ON THIS TOPIC :D)</p>

<p>But what if they put some semblance of an answer in the subject? I’m kinda freaking out right now…and they probably won’t even send them out tomorrow ohmygodohmygodohmygod</p>

<p>Ha! I’m so glad to have rediscovered this thread. It’s nice to see people as nervous as I am! Do you guys have any idea how many applicants there are this year?</p>

<p>@kylou18 I’m guessing around a thousand, as there were something like 900 last year and the number grows every year. So a 5% acceptance rate. ohmygodohmygodohmygod…</p>

<p>Maybe this will calm everyone down. I’m from Kentucky. I’m sophomore. One of my best friends goes to a UWC. We are from a small county in Kentucky. And it’s very hard to dream of going to a UWC for us. We’ve never seen anything like it. We live in basically the belt Buckle of the Bible Belt, it’s hard for us to think about diversity. I want to experience that so bad through UWC.</p>
