The Official 2013 Fall/Fall Advantage Thread!!

I'm really worried. It'll be a month on Sunday that I've been pended. My first choice was entertainment. So, I was thinking that they could be waiting to send my acceptance letter until my audition next Tuesday in Charlotte. Does anyone think this could be a possibility? Or has any experience with being pended this long?

you literally can be pended until the date they gave you and longer, they have moved the date back 2 weeks before

 

[jordanri]

Okay that makes me feel better. My audition is Tuesday so hopefully I'll hear something sometime next week! Thank you for the advice!

also they do not wait to accept you for any role. i had a friend who was accepted as qsfb and then was re-accepted after in to character performer...

 

[khancock]

If I remember right they do wait for your audition to accept you for any(?) role... I remember either hearing or reading something about auditions and that you will basically be pending until after your audition.

This was true at one time many years ago. No longer.

They talk about your options if you receive an offer for another role prior to the audition in the FAQ's above the audition info.

Congrats to everyone who got accepted in yesterday's wave! Merchandise was my number 2 choice, so I'm getting worried now, but I'm hoping that they're considering me for character attendant instead =)

Ugh, I just don't want to be pending anymore haha

Hasn't been true for a few years now. Now they accept you and then if you qualify they switch you to entertainment.

Please disregard my statement, what I saw must have been old and not realized it. So sorry but keep in mind that doesnt mean they wont pick you

I just got another e-mail from Disney and had a mini heart attack! But it was just another pending email to let me know they haven't forgotten about me! xP kinda bummed cuz I was hoping for acceptance but pending is still better than NLIC!

I kind of had the same thing happen to me. I got an email and saw it was from Disney. I thought it was about the PIs I applied for but no.... it was about the Disney look. Ugh

Hi everyone! I just had my interview today! should i be worried if I did not get a confirmation email that I participated in the interview?

Also, when is the last day they'll start notifying people? End of march?

 

[misscpround2]

no don't worry about the email, mine came a day later and April 26 or 29 is the last day to hear back. I waited about two weeks before I heard anything

My confirmation email for completing the interview didnt come until the next day so dont worry!

As far as housing goes though, I picked my arrival day (only 2 available) but how does housing work? I thought u had a choice when you got down there but on my dashboard it shows my arrival day and then under it says Vista Way Apartments. So do I not get a choice (I was gonna try for Chatham I think)?

Hiya everyone! I'm entirely new to this whole pre-DCP experience and have a quick question.

I've been pending for a little over 2 weeks now, and after the Merchandise and QSFB wave, I'm getting a little worried, haha! (They were my 2nd and 3rd choice) However, I haven't seen anyone accepted into Costuming yet and that happens to be my 1st.

So, I read through these posts and saw that the college board won't wait to choose you for a position, but is this something that only counts for Character Performers or for all positions? Are the positions handed out in a particular order?

(Hm.. Guess that's a little more than a quick question.)

Check in is at Vista Way. Everyone gets their housing assignment once you check in. So you can ask for Chatham at that time.

In regards to Character performers it means they will offer you a position they see you as a good fit for and then pending your audition switch you to performer.

There is really no rhyme or reason for how people are accepted and what roles are given out. Don't stress about trying to figure out a pattern because their isn't one lol. Also just because people have gotten accepted for Merch and QSFB doesn't mean that you won't be offered one of those roles. Hang in there, I'm sure you will hear something soon!

Hello all,
My name is Jae. I am a Spring '12 graduate of Florida State University and I am currently working to complete my second degree with FSU before going for my masters.

I've been accepted to the DCP Fall '13 and I am beyond excited! Although I am a Florida native, I have never had the opportunity to have the Magical Disney Experience, so this opportunity not only means a lot to me professionally but also personally.

I'm coming in as one of the "older" students (I'm 25), which makes me a tad bit nervous but I felt this would be perfect for me in preparation for a future professional internship. I am really just looking forward to all that the DCP has to offer.
