<p>Hi! I just signed up and i have lots of questions for all of you! Im not from America but for those who did not get in you gave it your best so be proud 
for those who did get in could you pleassseee tell me how the interview goes what they ask you? And how long did it take for them to reply to you?
Im so nervous for a reply and i check everyday so it would be reliving to know if they reply in say a monthā¦
THANK you to anybody who tries and helps me! good luck to you all</p>
<p>@smelltheroses91: I will definitely keep everyone updated. What country are you from? Iām not sure how helpful my information will be as some countries do the process very differently.</p>
<p>@lindzmm that is not creepy in the slightest and is so incredibly nice of you - thank you so so much. Iām right there with you about the ice cream (although Iām eating cookies instead). I think at this point, itās best to try to think of what we can all do <em>instead</em> that is amazing and cool - create our own UWCish experience instead of having it given to us. Thatās what Iām currently struggling with but I think Iāll come up with something eventually - exchange is definitely an option :)</p>
<p>Iām probably not going to be on this thread much anymore, but if anyone wants to continue a conversation - perhaps about wallowing in misery 
- I have the same username on tumblr and I can private message people a link to my Facebook account!</p>
<p>Ooh, @lunascreatures, great idea, I was going to say the same thing! I donāt think being on this thread now will be good for my overall well being, but feel free to private message me and Iāll send you a link to my FB as well.</p>
<p>For all those who got denied an interview, please donāt lose the spirit of UWC. Just because you didnāt get an interview doesnāt mean you arenāt part of the UWC movement. Live a UWC lifestyle no matter where you are. We control how we live out lives, and living with a UWCer spirit isnāt dependent on whether or not you get an interview. Itās already instilled in our hearts. So spread the UWC in your community through your example and hard work. Because UWC is so much more than a school, itās a movement anyone can take part in.</p>
<p>I totally agree with Ashbry8, in the matter of fact, Iād like to remind you that UWCās mission isnāt to solely offer a studying abroad program. UWC is also about connecting people from all over the world, and that is indeed what is happening on this forum. If you guys donāt mind, I suggest making a Facebook group where we can all keep in touch, and also talk about the different places we came from. Those of us that are actually lucky enough to get accepted to UWC can occasionally update the group with pictures and posts that would allow them to narrate the experienceā¦</p>
<p>You ask, I deliver. And here we are!</p>

<p>Congrats to everyone who got in, and also to those who didnāt. Having the guts to put yourself out there, to dream big (HUGE, really) isnāt average. You are all the way above average and the kindness and inclusion and humour that Iāve felt from everyone on this thread can be felt through the screen. Think about how many people are going through this right, are about to go through it, or already have; think about how many this movement has touched, in little and big ways; you MULTIPLIED it. You told your friends, family, about it, but you also grew because of it. UWC makes a difference even if youāre not at one of the schools; the application demanded so much of you, as a person, a thinker, a friend, and a change-maker. Donāt lose faith in yourself! Anyone who believes in UWC enough to make themselves vulnerable to the possibility of rejection is amazing.</p>
<p>After finishing and submitting the application in January, we put an unspoken moratorium on discussing UWC at home. We were pleasantly surprised yesterday when Kyle received an interview invitation. @garyoak, you said it so well - the number of amazing young people who are on this site and the courage it takes to āput yourselves out thereā during the UWC application makes me so not envious of the job UWC must have had in sorting. Congratulations to everyone.</p>
<p>I got an interview with a really last-minute application. I am lucky, and must prove myself the second time around.</p>
<p>Apollo6, did your son already get a confirmed NSLI-Y place? Iām still waiting on a decision. I sent the medical docs a few days ago</p>
<p>My son was a U.S. sophomore last year when he applied for both UWC and NSLIY. He didnāt get chosen for UWC after interviews so he is spending this year in China.</p>
<p>OK, for starters I have to say Greeks versus egyptians if pretty hard, but egyptians come out tops. Everyone else doesnāt even come close XD But what about Japanese mythology? Thatās some pretty awesome stuff there. Also, I LOVE PERCY JACKSON <em>ahem</em> </p>
<p>Iām a bit like you @knoxandonyx in that I have loved greek mythology since a grade 2 thing where we all had to dress up like Greek gods and do an assembly. Anyhoo, long story short I was Athena and thought she rocked 
And I am currently in Switzerland!</p>
<p>@Lunascreature OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG is all I have to say about the children named after LOTR. SERIOUSLY LEGENDARY!!! I want to shake that womanās hand. Arwen and Lorien <3 Plus I salute you for Atticus! </p>
<p>For me (excuse me while I rant about improbable things) if I have a boy I would call him Peregrin because as a boy he could be known is Pippin, then as a man he could be known as Perry if Pippin/Peregrin was embarassing :)</p>
<p>The legendary english teacher at my school once said that āI really wanted to call his daughter Persephone because he thought it was beautiful but he didnāt want her to get bulliedā How adorable is that?!</p>
<p>And since both my parents come from families of twins I will probably have twins too haha. I also think that Natalia is a beautiful name 
My name has about three different stories attached to it which I wonāt go into XD One of them starts in 1890s Indiaā¦</p>
<p>@Lunascreatures (my face after reading about you and the green brothers ā>) (o________o)</p>
<p>The harry potter conversation melted my heart <3 <3 you guys are making me want to go to UWCUSA just to increase the possibilty of meeting YOU more than anything else XD</p>
<p>@garyoak I love your story about that line. I almost cried imagining it :ā)</p>
<p>Plus, FYI I have never been to a single harry potter convention. And Iām ENGLISH. WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY COUNTRY?? I have however slept at the castle where the outdoor hogwarts scenes were filmed :)</p>
<p>Iām also heartbroken that you didnāt get in. I have been going through reading this thread and making a massive list of responses to people I canāt believe havenāt got interviews. I hope that you can all refocus enough to realise that this is not the end, and I can see you were serious candidates, and good people, and that is something that will never change, no matter where you live or go to school. In fact, that is part of the UWC message, is that it unites these people who have been following their hearts all over the world. Itās sort of like a spring board which throws you up with them. But with enough woods and nails you can build a ladder to the same place, and I believe in you and know you can do. Iām expecting greatness from you all :)</p>
<p>Hi Everyone,
Wow-- this has been such a journey for all of us. Congratulations to EVERYONE!
What are some programs like UWC?
Does anyone who didnāt get an interview have a plan B?</p>
<p>I GOT AN INTERVIEW!!! (2. March)</p>
<p>Congratulations! How exciting! Unfortunately, very few of the US students who were posting were offered interviews this year. I think weāre down to two juniors applying for the second time and one sophomore. Most of the US students are young enough to reapply next year. Waiting for news from the Canadians, Eastern Europeans and Asians. I think you are the only poster from Western Europe. Iāll update the list when more students start posting.</p>
<p>Iām a sophomore that got an interview. Iām really lucky to have gotten one. I donāt fit the age requirements for next year, which makes it all the more important for a good interview this year.</p>
<p>Yes, Iām not sure why but as far as I can tell all of the UK applicants (Stuffzhappening, Poppyatlas, JonnyMorrison and myself) have been offered interviews, but only a fraction of the american applicants 
I have heard from Ashbry8, Windowpainting6, Bergenās child, ameripen, Apollo 6ās child and mmrnz13. However Iām not sure if all of the above are even american. Could we do a quick national committee recap? Iām obviously doing it through UKGB</p>
<p>Congratulations alpacallama!! When is the interview?</p>
<p>Iām a sophomore and a first time applicant. Iām applying through the UWCUSA national committee.</p>
