College Program Questions Thread Pt 2

I think it will still have to go through one computer... It's really easy though Don't worry

Yup that's the way mine is here at home. I'll have to find out about having it be freestanding though because that stinks if someones has to be connected all the time! There's gotta be an easier and better way haha.

Yeah, laptops will work with a router. I've been able to use mine all 4 times.

That's good to hear I need my internet! I'm hoping to do a blog on the whole CP experience

I'll definately volunteer to help if you need it :]

That would be greatly appreciated XD

You're quite welcome! Hopefully, we'll see you around WDW next year Good luck! Do you know how long the application process for the ICP/IP takes on average?

I have no idea! I've investigated, but it has been pretty fruitless I'm hoping they get back to me soon, I wanna know one way or the other, but from what I understand in the UK there is like one round of interviews all in the same week, in various locations, so even if I make it to second stage I might not interview for months!

IF ANYONE KNOWS HOW LONG THE APPLICATION PROGRESS FOR IPS TAKES PLEASE RESPOND TO THIS POST!!

I'm sooo excited, my best friend has applied too so hopefully we'll both get it. I've never seen any English people at WDW (except at Epcot) and I can't decide whether thats due to lack of applicants or lack of talent. I can't imagine many British people apply...

Been reading your previous posts, Nell, your life sounds amazing! I love drama and theatre too, would love to teach.

Oh well, fingers crossed I'll hear soon and good luck to everyone applying!

It's amazing alright...and poor! Haha...the life of an artist! I'll talk to a few of my friends from the UK who did programs and see how long the process took them. If I get an answer, I'll get back to you.

There are a few Brits around the other parks, but not so much. Most internationals are in Epcot, aside from the people coming from Puerto Rico(which isn't exactly IP, but not exactly not), Brazil, Africa, and a few from the UK. It's more likely that you just aren't finding them though...It's hard among 50,000+ CMs

Does anyone know how long rejection letters take to come?

 

[futreWDI]

you only need to be connected to a computer (hard-wired) for the set up. Once it is set up everyone can run wireless!!!

That's good to hear I need my internet! I'm hoping to do a blog on the whole CP experience



That would be greatly appreciated XD

 

[Joanna71985]

Oh don't think that way!! Think positive!

 

[TiggerTastic09]

Does anyone know how long rejection letters take to come?

for you? NEVER!!!!!!!!!!

cause you're GOING!

and you're stopping in vegas on your way there!!!!

so just forget about a rejection letter. it's not happening!!

 

[Seewhatimesdone]

I just wanted to know if they came at the same rate as the acceptance or later. Like if I hadn't heard anything after two months or by December I should probably be worried.

I'm so excited to see you on my way down Jacki!

 

[Jules76126]

everyone will recieve a letter either accept or reject within two to three weeks from your interview. now we all know disney is really slow this year lol. i am already at the month mark and nothing, i emailed my recruiter tonight and im calling tomorrow if i dont have anything. this is getting rediculous. Some people like myself are graduating in december and need to make other arrangments if not going to disney this spring.

 

[SweaterInJune]

They should come at the same time, but...QUIT WORRYING!!!

 

[Joanna71985]

This is so weird. I have never known them to take this long so early.

 

[Seewhatimesdone]

XD Well now that I know that they come at the same time AND they have so many people applying they don't even have time to process everything I don't know whether I should expect an acceptance or rejection

I'm assuming the acceptance letters are pretty thick? This is like college all over again!

 

[joepic]

From what I've seen, they come in a big envelope. I wouldn't know, but I have seen pictures.

Thanks. I'll be on the lookout for a big envelope then.

It's tough haha, I'm getting a bit nervous now too about this. I'm a pessimist naturally though.

this isn't entirely accurate. they sometimes put people on a wait list. if they have to run a background check or if you have a restricted rehire and have to do more paperwork, you are put on that list. also people who go to auditions don't find out a final decision until after the audition.

there are lots of threads from previous seasons where people received a letter and were told that they would receive disney's final decision at a later time.

then with the people who go the e-presentation route, they are told that their initial notification is sent after the materials get to the recruiting office. if someone interviews and never sends in their stuff, then recruiting can't make a decision.

here is info on wdw's notification:
