UWC applicants year 2014

<p>@Santoast13, Sure! I sent you a message a while back on Facebook but got no response, I think I may have added the wrong person :blush: I sent you another one now though. Check if you got it.</p>

<p>@RipCity14 I did thanks again :)</p>

<p>Oh and welcome to all new people!! You all like you have a good chance at getting in :)</p>

<p>Heeey Guys,
Have u though about yet, which one college would u love to attend the most and why?</p>

<p>@michelle15 I would love to go to AC b/c for one it’s in a beautiful 12th century castle in Wales, that is amazing and the fact that it is so old just makes me want to go more. But also, since they are close to shore lines, you can volunteer with and learn lifeguard kind of things (trying to explain this briefly). I love anything medical so I think I’ll enjoy that. Also i always wanted to go to that part of the world what about you?</p>

<p>@Santoast13
Yeah, this college was definitely one of them, that I really had wanted to attend, but unfortunately It is NOT on the list of scholarships this year for my country. Now I am reallly excited about Adriatic then of course Mahindra College and also Mostar<3
I am totally nervous about that all.
Have u been getting ready somehow?</p>

<p>@michelle15 I’m still filling out my application, but it’s not due until January 10 which now that I think about it, is not that long. Oh gosh I just gave myself a small heartattack (me exaggerating of course)! Ah I’m so nervous!! I also have the USA and pearson colleges in my top three.</p>

<p>We should be honest about that- I would be happy for every college I could attend :smiley:
I’ve been working on my essay,that’s all, but It’s pretty difficult writing something like this.
U have to show, what’s your character like and don’t lie at the same time:D</p>

<p>@michelle15 yeah exactly. What country are you from? If you don’t mind me asking</p>

<p>Maybe we could chat on facebook or e-mail, if you wouldn’t mind)
I could send my facebook profile’s link on your mail, if u want to.</p>

<p>Actually, a good book I recommend is The Kite Runner. I just remembered that I read it. How could I forget?</p>

<p>@robochi I loved the kite runner!! It was a great book. </p>

<p>And guys, I’m looking at the costs for all the colleges and I’m like dying… It’s a LOT of money. I feel likely he issue with being middle class is that, on one hand, you CAN afford it, but on the other, if you do go, it’s still a big amount for your family. Gaaaaaahhhhhh this is so stressful. T_T</p>

<p>@Apollo6 Thanks for your response. I was hoping that because I doubt if I ever got in my parents could afford to send me back home like 4 times a year.</p>

<p>I was searching through the UWC tag on tumblr and I found this really controversial article thingy about UWC from a current student. I am kind of surprised but I didn’t want to post it in case it might persuade someone not to go. I can PM you the link because it’s really insightful. It hasn’t persuaded me not to though.</p>

<p>Ah yeah found that article. I pretty much knew that stuff from the beginning - my cousin went to AC and she was one of the partiers lol. Im hoping it’s a lil different in other UWCs though cos AC’s the most expensive and so has the most amount of annoying rich kids… And oh well of course people are basically the same everywhere but I don’t really have much to lose anyway so it’s cool. I’m naturally pessimistic, yes.</p>

<p>Actually I think im more logical than pessimistic</p>

<p>@Hedwig8 until I read that article I forgot that UWC is still a school and normal school stuff will always happen but it still is like no other school</p>

<p>@okp1000 yeah I found a forum about UWC too and one of them complained that AC was a place for rich kids and parties etc. :/</p>

<p>@Dancingdaisy it makes me wonder if this is just an AC thing or if this happens at other UWCs</p>

<p>@okp1000 yeah… I was a little taken aback by some of the negative comments about it, but I guess some people have different perspectives and I have heard more positive comments from friends than negative comments. Nothing is perfect anyway :slight_smile:
But I’m pretty sure not all UWCs are like that, due to the different surrounding cultures</p>
