The WEP interview is a vital part of the application process. The application form provides us with information about your family, school grades, health and general motivations for undertaking an exchange, but it is in the interview that your true personality shines through.

While the interview is relatively informal and WEP staff will do all they can to put you at ease, it is nonetheless necessary for you to make some preparations. We suggest that you think about answers to the following questions prior to your interview:

• Why you want to go on an exchange program?
• How you think your exchange will affect your future?
• What are your future academic and career goals?
• How will you adjust to living with another family/attending another school/living in a new culture?
