College Program Questions Thread Pt 2

[Joanna71985]

Well the recruiter told me I wasn't eligable because I wasn't turning 18 before May 1, My b-bay is June 14. I'll be 18 then.

Aww, that stinks.

 

[snowprincessofAK]

Aww, that stinks.

Yeah I was dissapointed to say the least.

 

[Joanna71985]

Yeah I was dissapointed to say the least.

I can believe it.

 

[snowprincessofAK]

if you have better luck with the age thing please let me know!! Again Good luck!!!!!I hope you get in!!!

i turned 18 in february so it's no big thing for me. but aren't there some arrival dates on august? that's what the recruiter said when i went to the presentation.. you might want to ask about it.

Yeah I thought the arrival dates were in Late August. But who knows what they have to do for paper work and such. I've e-mailied and am planning on calling to ask about the age and arrival date thing.

Well, I think (don't quote me, I don't know for sure) CS arrival dates will be the 18th and/or 25th. Again, not 100% sure, but I do believe it's within those two weeks.

you may want to double check with the careerstart office. I watched the CareerStart epresentation (because I'm just a nerd like that), and it said that their program doesn't start till august. that would mean that you would be 18 by the time it starts.

I don't know if anybody's run into this before, but I figured I'd ask and find out. I'm currently covered under my parent's medical insurance until I get out of school then I am dropped. I officially finish school in December, I was wondering if classes during the CP would allow me to keep my coverage. Because if I get dropped off I doubt I'll have enough money for health insurance.

 

[CelticBelle]

Im wondering the same thing. But my parents health insurance never asked for a report card or any proof that I am in school, so I dont think theyll even notice the difference.

 

[Joanna71985]

I don't believe so.

 

[shastatikipunch]

I don't believe so.

Yeah, I was kinda on the fence whether or not it would work, it seems like a good idea in theory though. It just stinks cause health care is so expensive and I know Im not gonna be able to afford it. Eh whatever, I'm sure I can rough it for a year.

 

[Joanna71985]

Yeah, I'll have the same thing happen to me next May, when I go back down.

It probably doesn't matter if you have graduated but what would matter would be the number of hours -- you would have to check with your parents insurance -- for example in my daughters case she had to have 12 hours and be under 24 to continue on the insurance during the CP. We chose a private policy with a high deductible for her time there.

You won't know til you check.

[Carlos_in_Wonderland]

I was worried about that too since I'm also covered under my parent's medical insurance. I already asked my recruiter if I would have any problems with that while in Fl and thankfully I won't. Thank God.

So I have been spending the majority of the last few days reading ALL of the pages of this thread and the first one and I have SO many questions answered so thanks to the "vets" who are sharing the wealth!

I interviewed for Hospitality and I'm nervous because I heard it's very competitive I emphasized my 5 yrs of experience of front desk work so hopefully I'll do okay...

Oh well, I'm sure I would be happy with any of them but it's the one I really want!

Again, thanks you guys and it will be fun to get to know all of you! I hope to see you down there for Fall 08!

I ran into the same problem. My parents insurance require that I'm a full time student... and well disney classes are only part time. If ur going to be dropped because ur graduating .... then i have noooo clue what to tell you, but sometimes some insurances cover some internships. If anyone is having a problem staying a full time student while taking a leave for a semester, then i suggest taking some on-line classes. Thats the easiest way, becasue then none of your loans will go into distribution, you can keep any scholarships, and health insurance, and you don't have to fight for credit for the disney classes.

 

[CelticBelle]

I looked into that because I also think it would be a good way to keep my mind in academic mode a little bit so that its also not another adjustment when I get back home. I cant seem to find any classes through my school though. It would be nice to still get my financial aid for the quarter though.
