It's hard to describe just one ideal candidate. We seek great diversity and find students of exceptional promise and potential from across the country, regardless of their socio-economic background, politics, religion, ethnicity, ideology, language or gender. Canada is a country filled with diversity. The UWC NCC seeks to identify students who can reflect and represent that multiplicity at UWC.

Here are a few things UWC students tend to have in common:

• They have the desire to live the life. We practice what we preach at UWC: sustainability, unity, peace.
• They understand that they grow through laughter–with others, at themselves.
• They are afraid to fail, but more afraid not to. Those who allow themselves to fail also have the courage to take chances.
• They are open, a prerequisite for living in close quarters with students from backgrounds and cultures radically different from their own.
• They're can-do. They like to take initiative and have the commitment to follow through.
• They have ambition, tempered by modesty.
• They are competitive–yet realize that collaboration leads to the most creative solutions.
• They are bright, and quick. The IB program is rigorous.
• They’re indefatigable and can take care of themselves. Life at UWC, both physically and emotionally, is strenuous.
• They are determined–the most important factor in predicting success, not intelligence or talent.
• They have a curiosity that compels them to research anything and everything, yet the discipline to do so with focus.
• They ask questions. Seeking to understand their differences, the world, humanity, and themselves.
