  • Have you ever heard of UWC? UWC is a movement which beliefs that education can be a force to unite people from all sort of backgrounds for a sustainable and peaceful future. The United World Colleges are a network of 18 international schools around the world as well as short courses and most importantly a huge network of people that strive for a better world.
    In this video, I let you know everything that you need to know for the UWC interview. Many National Committees (NC) will hold interviews as a part of their selection process for future UWC students. I share with you my experience of the UWC interview and tell you my top tips which hopefully answer questions like: "How can I prepare for the UWC interview?" or "What should I expect from the United World College interview?".
    As always feel free to drop any remaining questions in the comments or DM me on Instagram! I would really appreciate it if you could give this video a LIKE and SUBSCRIBE to my channel!:)

    Heyy to whoever is reading my comment! good luck with the interview :) mine is today ahah. Reminder :
    -Be yourself, it will help you to be more relaxed.
    -If you don't understand a question don't try to answer randomly, but instead, you can ask the interviewer to reformulate the question for you.
    -Take your time to answer, you don't have to answer the question right away, think about it to be more confident.
    -Don't be too shy or smth, try to have a kind of friendly/formal conversation.
    -Don't be too stressed, I know the interview is important but it's not the police, it's UWC getting to know you better :)
    Good luck again and thank you Kaiwen for your advice.

      @samyeniaxoxxo 2 роки тому +7

      @@myyoutubechannel9924 First thing they asked was what I knew about UWC, so try as best as possible to pin down everything you’ve learned so far about the program, Another question was why I think i’m the perfect fit for it. They also asked about my extracurriculars, that’s pretty much it. Most of the time they ask scenario questions as well to see how you would react to certain problems you might face at UWC.
      Don’t be nervous, try to calm down and remember that you’re ultimately doing this for yourself and no one else. My anxiety fucked me up so bad and I don’t want the same to happen to you. Be yourself cause the interviewers could tell when you’re bullshitting.
      Give it your all! I believe in you

      Only a few UWCs (Singapore, the Netherlands and there is one more) teach students under 16 years old. You will have to apply to those schools specifically if your national committee doesnt deal with interested students under the age of 15 (its different everywhere).

    What i dont like is that , in my community , we have 2 seats reserved for UWCRCN and im one of the 6 interviewees , it sucks that out interviewers aren't people from uwcrcn but from our own community , and they think so conservatively and i feel so stifled , if it was people from abroad interviewing i'd be more open and talk really close to heart but seeing as its my own community , the only thing i can do is act meek and not come off as overbearing , sucks , smh
