What to Expect from UWC

It's that time of year...
If you've been accepted into UWC, congratulations! Here is my true, unfiltered, unscripted advice for you. I wish you the best of luck on this journey :)

[@isabellaletona4448]

this video is so lovely! I got into UWC and really this was something I needed to hear and just made me become more excited about what is to come. Thank you!!

[@LydiaJane]

Isabella Letona CONGRATULATIONS!!! I wish you the best of luck ❤️ you’re going to have a great time, make the most of every single minute!

[@arissaroy]

Hi Lydia! My name is Arissa. I'm still a bit to young to apply to UWC but looking forward to applying in the next few years! Thanks for all the advice you give in your video's :)!

[@LydiaJane]

Arissa Roy Hi Arissa! You are most welcome :)) best of luck for when you do apply! Also, if you really can’t wait, you should look at some of the UWCs that offer lower grades. I know ISAK has a grade 10 program, and I think schools like Maastricht and UWCSEA have classes all the way from kindergarten to grade 12!

[@arissaroy]

​@@LydiaJane Thanks so much! I will definitely look into it but because it's only like two years away I may just wait! I am hoping I can participate in camps and initiatives at UWC schools too!

[@Dugglies]

@@arissaroy ooh are you applying to grade 10 this year?

[@mintas7671]

@ava kay are you applying this year? cause i am!!!

[@asadwholesomememe2749]

I wasn't even watching the video but just hearing it and I could hear all the nostalgia and love in her voice when she talks about UWC. I just really want to get in just to experience something similar to what she experienced and to feel the same way. Thank you for inspiring me so much.

[@annaszabo8808]

Thank You! I'm looking forward to see ISAK for myself next year😍

Anna Szabó omg are you coming to isak!?!

Hello Lyddie!!! (okay that was a nickname that popped into my head, euh... actually I've been watching you since I had that great idea to apply to the uwc colleges, soooo, since I familiarised with you haha I thought giving a nickname to a virtual friend was kinda logical hahaha) Well, I've been accepted to UWC RBC, and honestly, I'm so excited to go there on august. I'm currently facing some problems with the virus and It's kinda difficult to get my passport ready and to book my flight (btw im from morocco) cuz everywhere is closed. Im in period where everything is difficult to get just like all the people, but watching you giving us all these positive vibes and amazing thoughts about UWC is making me more positive and optimist. Thank you Lyddie. Really. Thank you for LIVING *we love you*

[@mulls9281]

Hello there! I am an RBC 0th year as well. Do you know of the WhatsApp and discord groups we have? We are trying to get as many people as possible on those so that no one feels like they don't know whats going on in August when some of us already know about each other. So if you arent in those I can send you a link :)

[@annoyomuskim2674]

Hi :)) I'm a 10th grader and I want to get into UWC too for my further studies. Can I get some tips on what the interviews are like or what happens or anything that I should be knowing about? It would be great to know more about the application process even though I'm from Nepal. And I hope you get your passport ready soon :))

[@nissstuff8077]

[@pepperpug6459]

Hi Lydia =)) I got into ISAK and so far I have no idea what's going to happen this August because Mr. Jemison said he is still working on a plan to get all students on campus. Do you think that we will have to resort to online learning until the end of 2020?

[@LydiaJane]

Hey! Sorry for the late response, KZbin is awful with notifications :o Hit me up on instagram: @lyds_jane

[@lukachikhladze2404]

Hey, Lydia! I first filled out an application, then I had two tests, then I had an interview and now I'm in finals! In February, we will have a group activity and another interview. Your tips helped me out so much! Btw what are the Covid-19 restrictions in your campus?

[@LydiaJane]

WOAH amazing!! Congratulations! The COVID restrictions are really good. We wear masks most times (all the time off campus) and regularly use hand-sanitizer.

[@areebshaukat2403]

How did it go?

[@annoyomuskim2674]

Hey Lydia :)) I'm trying to apply for UWC as I'm currently in 10th grade. It would be great to have a conversation with you about some application processes and a few questions. That might really help me out. And love your videos, that's how i got to know so much about things from your 10th grade application process too. Again I would love it if you could please have a conversation with me :)) thank u !! (again omg your videos are amazing XD)

Lydia, it's harder than you to help me apply for the program because I don't know how to be special to be accepted, and I apologize for being late.

[@SHs-ke4po]

[@Era-vh9qp]

Hey, how did you figure out which college to apply to? :)

[@mulls9281]

You usually can't apply for one single college, but some national committees let you priorities which colleges you'd rather go to.

[@LydiaJane]

Hey! Yes, Mulls is right. I applied to my NC and they chose for me!
