i was just accepted to uwc mostar and I was wondering whether everyone gets that postcard and confetti and the certificate and stuff? i love your videos btw and you're sooo adorable!

[@LydiaJane]

Thank you Gurman!!

[@yirlanamata7092]

I watched your video and I thought I definitely had to subscribe, I will apply this year (I'm nervous) (sorry for my bad English)

[@LydiaJane]

Thank you!! Good luck applying, I’ll be releasing a video with tips soon :) and sis don’t apologize for your English, it’s amazing and we’re all just learning

[@lolalunatic]

Im very excited for your videos!! You are really sweet 😍 I will be applying to UWC this year..

[@LydiaJane]

Elin Sorvoja hey thank you so much! If you need any tips for your application let me know😊 I’ll also be uploading a video about applying soon

[@tarekmohamed779]

Did you get in?

[@lolalunatic]

@@tarekmohamed779 no unfortunately ! I guess it was not meant to be then. I did get into Rotary youth exchange program, but it got cancelled twice because of the virus so I guess luck wasn't really on my side lol

[@khanhhuyentran6375]

hello, can i ask what about the textbooks, UWC school will give them to all students or do we have to buy on our own??? tks

[@Beza-nn1je]

Hey.. I love your videos.. how long will it take the national committee to announce application result?

[@LydiaJane]

Bezawit Edilu if only I knew! Every country is different and every applicant is different. I was actually waitlisted - so it took me a lot longer than most people! All I can saw is be patient and have hope

[@Beza-nn1je]

@@LydiaJane Thank you

[@wsstwood]

for the interview, did you do it online? or did you traveled to karuizawa??

[@LydiaJane]

I had my interview in Toronto through my National Committee

[@paula9792]

Do they care about your marks? I mean, is there a minimum average to get in?

[@LydiaJane]

Paula Vázquez hey! I’m not sure about a minimum average. Your grades definitely matter (ib is a pretty tough program), but at the end of the day they aren’t the most important piece

[@user-ds6xn4jt4f]

Hi dear.can you explain the exam for UWC?My english is not very well Do we have to take the IELTS test?

[@niyas321]

No your English doesn't matter I know I'm so late 😶

hi! I just wanna ask a quick question.If I apply to uwc and got in,do they decide in which uwc college i'm going to study in?

[@LydiaJane]

namjuan hey! Yes. Sometimes they ask you for a preference, but ultimately, they put you where they think you’ll fit in most :)

[@rabra1618]

Hi Lydia Did you win on your first try? I am so nervous because I'm so afraid I won't win on my first try 😣

[@LydiaJane]

Hey! Do you mean get in my first time applying? Yes, I did! But don’t let that scare you :)) just try! You’ll never know if you don’t apply

[@rabra1618]

[@dang2379]

Hiii! I just get preselected and I have to do an interview in January, could you tell me if you needed to know a lot of politics and global issues??

[@LydiaJane]

Chimchimmy ˎˊ- hey!!! Congrats :) it really depends on where you’re from. Every country has different requirements, so I’d find someone from your NC! What country are you from?
