College Program Questions Thread Pt 2

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I believe we weren't allowed to hang anything on the walls.

No, you are.

I looked at the pink border on that wall and to me it kinda looks like they stapled sheets of tissue paper onto the wall. They used it as a background for pictures too. Does anyone else see it? I think that would be a pretty cool and cheap idea to decorate.

I wouldn't recommend using staples. I used thumb tacks, and they worked just fine.

Hi! I'm Ashley! I just registered for the boards, but I've been reading posts on here for a little while now. You're all so helpful! You've already answered a ton of my questions. My interview is in three days and all I can think about is Disney!!!!

I have one quick question... I know that for the classes (and Traditions, right?) we need to dress professionally. I was shoe shopping tonight lol, and it made me wonder what kind of shoes are required within that dress code. Can anyone help me out? I love to dress up and wear cute things, so if I need to wear plain pumps I need to start looking for cute ones now! Kind of a silly question, I know, but I would really like to know!

You just need one end of them closed, I believe. So either closed-toe and open back or open toe and closed back. Or just everything closed

Hi Ashley. Good luck with your interview.

For dress shoes, they either need to be open toe/closed heal or closed toe/open heal. Or closed both.

Thanks! That helps a lot!

Also, I just got your message and tried to respond, but my post count is too low still : ( Anyway, yes, I go to Mizzou! I just transferred here last semester so I'm still pretty new to the area and don't know many people, but I like it so far! Are you also a student at MU?

Thanks Joanna! That helps me a lot! And it makes it pretty easy to find shoes to fit those requirements!

(Sorry for posting two replies right after each other, but I want to get my post count up a little so I can respond to private messages! Does anyone know how many posts I need before it will let me do that?)

Not positive about the amount, but I believe it's at least 10.

Cool! I am a student there, too. You should join our facebook group!

Ten is the count you need. There are other boards where you can practice posting pictures, etc, to get your count up. That's what I did!

 

[Joanna71985]

that sucks because my interviewer made it seemed that i would get a letter in 2 to 3 weeks and it would say pending. sigh... i guess i've got a TON of waiting to do

I know it stinks. But either way you wouldn't get a definite answer til after the audition (be it an email or a letter. It would still say the same thing).

is there something similar with icons? i have one of those idisney ones with 4 colors on it and it says it's too big to upload but i see other people with the exact same ones...

Hi Ashley! Good to meet you! You will have ten posts in no time!

It is very possible that others have the same thing but that they have a smaller file. Try making it smaller and resaving it so it takes up less memory.

so alum here but i have a question. can you still do the cp if you have already graduated? this seems kind of stupid and this question defeats the purpose of the "college program". but i ask this cause 2 friends of mine on my last program graduated college and then did the program. i wanted to do this again after i graduated since im already a little behind in school, but i was told by my friend that you can apply as long as you are enrolled in classes at the time that you apply. so my question is, lets say for example im supposed to graduate in may 09, can i apply for fall 09 even though i would have graduated in may of 09? or do i have to be in college and just having taken a semester off? i don't want to miss anymore school and last time, the program didn't exactly go right for me but i want to try again. thanks

 

[CelticBelle]

I'm pretty sure that you can still do the program after you graduate. I heard as long as it's within six months of your graduating, but applying while taking classes also makes sense.

Yes you're right - you just have to be a student when you apply. I graduate in May and hope to do the Fall Advantage program. The fall program would be the same as well.

I plan on auditioning for entertainment at the end of my program in August. Do you think that I should bring a current head shot? I know that they take photos of you, but do they like headshots in addition?



Thanks

No one at my audition had head shots - I was told that they do not like head shots because they are often photo shopped to make you look your best and several are not realistic. They are more interested in a photo that looks at your face straight on to get a better judge of your facial features (nose, eyes, jaw line, etc). However, on the flip side, what's the worse that could happen - they just throw it away?
