Anyone attended a United Worlds College?

Question

HI im interested into applying to get into a UWC for my senior year, from what a read and heard its a great school education that provides the IB diploma and a chance to study in another country and meet new ppl also many many others things. What im asking is has anyone attended one ?,(and if so what do you think you did make yourself apeal to them more over the others) what were the pros and cons of attending one-----or applied and didnt get chosen , is it really that competitive ? what gives someone a better chance to get selected.--Any info. would be nice.

thanks alot

Answer 1

our son attended UWC in llanwit major, wales.  he was selected based on both academic, community work etc.  before the final exams, harvard offered a scholarship to study law which he turned down and now he lives in paris doing filmaking which he enjoys.  he really loved those days esp in an welsh castle, it was next to the sea and lots of activities, studying etc
