<p>@lalalarae, I’m trying to getting into MUWCI (India). I have two very good friends there, and from everything they have told me, it’s like the school was made FOR me.</p>
<p>Wow guys I left for a two hour swim practice (I now haw sore arms fr the first practice 
) and you guys wrote like five or six pages!!!
@lalalarae yea we can definitely teach each other haha 
and East Coast all the way!!! I’m from New Jersey!!! Please don’t stereotype me with the jersey shore however I am Italian (but Irish too)
@tecz77 ohhhh another swimmer!! What stroke do you swim?</p>
<p>@RipCity14 All the best! </p>
<p>@lalalarae @tecz77 I’m horrible at football (soccer). I had to do it for PE one semester and I think I failed really badly 
but I guess I do like other kinds of sports especially racquet games or swimming ( though I’m the slowest swimmer) I used to be a gymnast when I was younger</p>
<p>@Ripcity14 I’ve looked into MUWCI too! It looks AMAZING I wish I could go to all of the schools :)</p>
<p>@santoast13 yeah! Thats how it was when I got home from school; our swim season is already over ours is a fall sport and I (sadly) can’t join the year-round team Its all good I know New Jersey isn’t all bad! I was just up in Newark, New Jersey to go see NYC and most of the people were very un-snooki like :P</p>
<p>@dancingdaisy soccer takes practice and a certain bravery of running towards a big flying ball surrounded by people wearing very sharp shoes. I’m slightly biased but swim is definently my preferred sport. I was also a gymnast but a very terrible one… I don’t even know if i can call it gymnastics :)</p>
<p>@lalalarae, I basically am only looking at MUWCI since it’s in my own country, but I am gonna have to look at other school as well just in case. And now I am thoroughly confused because we have so many different nationalities here, half of the people are saying football, the other half are saying soccer.</p>
<p>@ripcity14 Oops haha I guess lets just all use European terms and I will try not to use words wrong like an American for some reason the other countries have so much more of a draw for me than the USA. But the USA would still be nice because I have never even been to new mexico since it is 1300 miles from me (almost 20 hours of driving time) I always forget how much bigger the US is than each European country!</p>
<p>I’ll try not to use American words too!</p>
<p>@lalalarae haha no problem, just specify. And yes same for me, I’m not really keen on US, maybe because it’s harder to get into as well :/</p>
<p>@Ripcity14- the best team of course… GIANTS! (even though I live in DC and actually know Dan Snyder) Whos yours?
@Santoast13- it is strange that there are so many swimmers on here. I swim breast and I just had 5 am tryouts for my HS team this morning…
Ugh, these stupid word differences are so annoying! Its so confusing to remember that football means soccer to some of you guys Guess that must be a bit confusing at the UWCs…</p>
<p>@tecz77 HAHAHAHA! See I was talking about Football (Soccer). And I most people call it Football and only the Americans and Canadians call it Soccer. That’s a good question though, with all the different nationalities, what to they call it? Maybe depends on where the school is?</p>
<p>Finished my second draft of my essays. Wow this is alot of pages of reading</p>
<p>@ripcity14, see this is why I hate the English language. THE SPORTS ARE DIFFERENT, WHY DO THEY HAVE THE SAME NAME? (I guess that sort of is our-the Americans- fault though). But I feel like it must get really confusing at the colleges. I was talking to my friends from England and South Africa about my Human Trafficking article I’m writing for journalism and I swear, half the time I dont know what they’re saying. Its sort of hard to believe that its the same language…</p>
<p>@tecz77 Go breaststrokers! I’m minorly a New Orleans Saints fan</p>
<p>@ripcity14 @santoast13 I think the fact that we can still have conversations and everything despite our cultural and linguistic differences is amazing in itself! I would guess that it would be called football at all of the UWCs because there are more countries that call it that. But the US site did use the word soccer. I think its probably just a mix of people being confused by the differences in query and question, football and soccer, jacket/sweater and jumpers, french fries and chips, and so many more for me the real problem is going to be hearing chips and getting french fries :P</p>
<p>@okp1000 thats how it was when I first found this! around 24 pages of reading when I should have been reading my AP textbook</p>
<p>Ha. Work? who does that any more? I’m too busy reading this thread and blogs…</p>
<p>Hey, just a very general questions. Which application are you guys completing for USA, 2013-2014 or 2014-2015? I am so confused as to why there are two different apps.</p>
<p>@tecz77 I knowww it’s so confusing, why we don’t stay with the universal system of things I’ll never know.</p>
<p>@bellath are you applying to the schools individually?</p>
<p>@bellath I’m pretty sure I’m doing 2014-2015</p>
