Why are internationals at UWC treated highly?

International Students

<p>Why are internationals studying at United World Colleges treated highly? Do they have greater chances/acceptances?. Does this mean other International students don't stand a chance? I'm really worried about this.</p>

<p>Good question. I want to know this too. I have seen quite a few people with very average stats get into great colleges. It seems they do have greater chances but it obviously does not mean other Internationals don’t stand a chance. They just have to work a little bit harder.</p>

<p>I thought as much!</p>

<p>damn, this is interesting! are you sure that they actually get accepted/ have a higher chance because they come from this school/schools?</p>

<p>Yea…I see guys studying at UWC’s get into the Ivies easily with low SAT and academics. I dunno why this happens so.</p>

<p>Because UWCs tend to be well regarded world-wide. They also seemh to have good relationships with a lot of american colleges.
6 incoming internationals at my college are from an UWC. 3 of them even went to the same UWC.</p>

<p>^
i think its coupled with the experience that they get, mixing with people of so many ethnicity…</p>

<p>It’s well-regarded, has a good academic reputation and they’re familiar with US college admissions, so would have better advising, relationships etc. </p>

<p>While there are scholarships, I think the high UWC fees means many don’t need aid, which also helps at the need-aware colleges.</p>
