Hey guys! Congrats to all who got the interview for UWC Mahindra. (I am incredibly late, I know. It’s disgusting how late I am.) I’m in Group C and I’m a little nervous( actually, a lot nervous) about the whole thing. Especially the object presentation thing (I am terrible at the whole ‘presenting oneself’ in general.) I’d really like to interact with some of you guys and get to know some the people in my group, just to make some friends before the big shindig. I live in Chennai right now and I’m going to sit for my IGCSEs in May. (Wish me luck!)
Hi @98karou98 … I’m Muskan… From Shimla (HP) Even I’m in Group C.
Don’t worry too much about the presentation… Just remember what they said to us in the email… “just be yourself” … Thats it… According to me one should choose not only that object that is most important to u but also soething that you know you can keep talking about for hours at end… For e.g. if my passion is singing (which by the way it is) i could get my first award at it and then tell everyone my story of how i became what i am… You dont really need to be good at “presenting” … Take it like a story-telling workshop…and just go on with the story…
It’ll be good to know you… 
@Parkhi Hey Muskan! Thanks for the reply, and also for the advice. I’d really like to get to know you too and I hope I get to hear you sing soon! 
Also, any idea about what they might actually ask us for the interview? My mum keeps trying to scare me with these stories about a girl who came out of the interview crying because apparently it had been super hard (talk about parental support!). I have a vague idea about what they might ask but hey, you never really know right?
Also, for my object presentation thingie i was just thinking of bringing my weird diary-thing that I filled with poems. What are you planning on bringing for your presentation?
@98karou98 hey, i dont think any of US will come out crying! Im sure it will be fine (im in my ‘frantically-trying-to-be-cool-and-optimistic’ mode! ) and i do have this friend who has some other friend who actually got into uwc. So i will try and find out.
And gosh! This is crazy! Even i have a Diary with my poems in it and i too was thinking of it but im not very sure because i have some other ideas too. Though it IS a good idea!
It will be fine! (i guess) and we will crack it! (i hope)
all i heard was that its a “24 hour nerve-wracking process” and its got to be, they take us in without being totally sure! I mean did u see their alumni? (see wikipedia)

Whoopsy! Connection problem! and also, @98karou98 if u do have a vague idea about what they might ask us, just be kind enough to let me know too. And by the way, whats your real name, its weird telling my mumma ‘im talking to 98karou98 who is also in my group’

hi guys, im from bangalore! i got an interview letter recently. I’m in Group A on day 1. As far as i know, the interviews are divided into 2 - faculty and alumni. mainly the interviews are conducted so as to determine whether you are gonna be a match for the campus culture. the aptitude test is mostly MCQ based. They ask you to do an extra math test, only if you’re planning to take HL Math.
btw has anyone made a facebook group yet ?
Hi everyone, I got my interview invitation today. I just wanted to say that I feel pretty blessed to be one among all you amazing people =)
I’m in Group A on the 3rd. I’m pretty excited/nervous, except I now have under a week to prepare a presentation, and I don’t even know what I’m going to speak about. Oh, well. All the best people!
@1somehermione1 selecting an object is so frustrating, right? Think we’re gonna have an insane time over there
Hey there everyone! It’s so nice to see some new people
@eyyylmao thanks for the link, it was enlightening. It just made me a lot more nervous, haha. (but also made me laugh) Oh, well.
@98karou98 I’m giving my IGCSEs in May, too! It sucks, because everyone already finished their exams, and I’m still (pretending?) to slave away at my desk haha
@legolas09 Hi there! Nope, we don’t have a Facebook group for this thread, but if you want I can link you to a group for all applicants to UWC in 2015. Also, if you message me your link I can add you onto this group chat that a lovely person made on Facebook. We could also make a new one for everyone here
@1hermione1 They just gave you your invite? haha don’t worry, I’ve known for quite a while now, and I still haven’t gotten around to preparing a presentation. I should probably get on that!
@legolas09 It is. I have thought of a couple of things, but I don’t know which one is best until I develop my story around each. So basically I’ll have to think up 3 or 4 different presentations before I whittle it down to one. Absolutely going to be crazy. =)
@xHopex Yes! Today! I saw this thread mid-March during my boards, and thought that since people had received acceptances on the 6th, I probably would find a rejection letter in my inbox soon. When that didn’t happen, I had my mother call the UWC Committee office to ask if they had sent everything to everyone. Long story cut short, a couple of correspondences later, I was told I was on hold!?! Then I got the letter today. Phew. Feel really relieved about it.
Wow. I feel like I’m coming back here after a century.
Hello to all you fellow mortals. It’s good to know about each one of you, really.
@Parkhi, I’m in group C too.
@Parkhi Haha sorry I forgot to mention. My name’s Mya, short for Ramya. But call me Mya. And you write poetry too? Cool. I’m in this sort of anxious but mostly excited kinda phase, and my mom does not approve of pessimism (she wants me to be positive) so i’m looking on the bright side of things.But I guess we’ll do well and hopefully we all get in. I’m crossing my fingers pretty hard right now. And yes, I saw their alumini. I’m dying. And i would think that most of the questions asked in the interview will be pretty general, I guess you should just go through your application as the questions might be similar. Also, my mum keeps telling me to read up about Mumbai and the school and all that what not, just in case. But I’m honestly and pathetically clueless. When I get some information, I’ll let you know,
@xHopex Hey! Yeah, it does suck. All of my friends are already halfway through college and it makes me feel so unproductive. Like I don’t even think what I’m doing right now could even be considered as ‘studying’, but I wish you luck in your exams!
Which schools are you guys applying to??
Hey guys!
So, group A and B applicants how did the interview go?
