Applications are Opening!
I know I’ve written about applying to UWC, but with applications opening tomorrow, I wanted to get a bit deeper into this topic. The written application is one of the longest that you’ll probably ever have to do – I believe it’s about six pages long, excluding things like parental permission and medical history. The written application really helped me consolidate my own feelings about UWC. The insightful questions let me know that if I was accepted, I would be going to a school where students are engaged and thoughtful about the world around them. It also gave me a chance to form some of my own opinions that I might not have thought too hard about before. One question asked what I saw as the most pressing issue my region faced. I said the housing crisis, and listed some ways that I might combat it. During the interview, one of the alumni brought up my answer. He was an urban planner and wanted to discuss my solutions. While writing your application, take your time. Y
