an aussie exploring italy at uwc adriatic! i want to share the uwcad experience for all applicants out there so you can learn about the college life (and know what you're getting yourself into!!!)
my biggest piece of advice is a bit cliched, but be yourself! talk about the things that you're passionate about, what makes you happy, how you see the world. don't get too caught up in trying to tell the selectors what you think they want to hear. be an individual! these guys have to read hundreds of applications, and a large majority of them will all be pretty similar- share what makes you unique, and why those things would make you a good fit for uwc :)
pocket money depends on your level of scholarship (i think??). scholarships are awarded by your national committee (based on financial need, not merit), so it can also depend on how much money your national committee has. but i'm pretty sure that students on full scholarship do receive weekly/monthly pocket money, so pocket money is a thing here, but i'm not sure exactly who qualifies for it.
not necessarily! it depends on your national committee/mode of entry, but it is definitely an aspect of the application. grades are important, but uwc is also looking for well-rounded students, so if you have slightly lower grades (mostly B's, some A's) but do things outside of school like volunteering or music or sport, you'll probably have a better chance than another applicant with perfect grades who only does school. good grades are a factor, but not the most important thing :)
Helllooo❤ First of all, great video, really helped with what to expect as im going to be a first year this august. Second, can you tell me aboıt how thick clothes I should bring? I live in a very warm climate (its like 40° daily in summer) so im not used to the cold, but im scared I will get too thick clothes and melt😂 What do you think?
during the winter i think the highest temperatures are from 8-12 degrees celsius, so definitely some warm clothes! i survived in a thermal, hoodie and puffer jacket (but i come from a pretty cool climate, around 14 degrees celsius average during winter). definitely grab some thermals and maybe a warm coat/puffer jacket!
Thank you so much it helped a lot!! Also make a video about your overall experience throughout your first year and what is good to be done in the first year(like IAs or particular subject to study)🙏🏼❤️
Hi! My name is Giulia, and I'd love to be a future student at UWC CAD. I would really, really appreciate it if you gave some tips on the application and interview? Thank you so much 😁
