College Program Questions Thread Pt 2

[csaribay]

Does anybody think they're still accepting people for August? I know they're still taking Applications, but I was wondering if there is any chance on getting accepted at this point, I'm open to every role except custodial, I'm currently in excellent standing with my school. Oh and when are the start dates in August?

You won't know until you try. I'd say your chances are still excellent.

I will also say that when I applied for my program the first time, it was in mid December for the Spring season, and was accepted in a role that worked for me. Your mileage may vary, but that's my experience. I'm not suggesting you wait (the further time progress, obviously the less things are in favor for you), but you shouldn't have any issues at this point.

Hey!

I want to apply for the CP for Fall Advantage in '09. When should I go to a presentation? Do I still go in the Spring semester like I would for fall? This year my school hasn't even had their spring presentation yet.. wouldn't that be too late?

Yup, you should attend the presentation next spring, and if there is not one at your school you could always do an e-presentation. You could also do the e-presentation if you want to do it earlier than the presentation at your school. Good luck!

Wow, I've never seen a girl gangster!!! That is so very exciting!!! Joanna you just made my night!! I wonder if there's a youtube video with a girl gangster, I'd be curious to see.........

I was there in Feb and our gangster was a female, so it definitely happens!

AHH I missed a phone call from Disney while our power was out, and they didn't leave a message. I called back, but can never get a live person. This is killing me!

They're looking for you to be in good standing with your school. How your school defines that varies, but as long as you're carrying a C average or better over the last semester and aren't on probation, you should be okay.

Haha, I had to play phone-tag with Disney the day of my interview. I got lucky and found out another way to get ahold of my interviewer, otherwise I would have been sunk that day. If I recall correctly I think you said you had your interview already and were waiting on more info from Disney- good luck! Hopefully they'll call back tomorrow (or today, whenever you're reading this).

I don't want to call too much, but I am pondering calling them back tomorrow (Wednesday) they called Monday when my power was out for the entire day and I didn't find the call until today. I figured I would wait it out for the day. I am waiting to hear back about issues with my disability and about vaccines required for housing. I am travelling all summer, so if I need a waiver I need to get it before I leave, so they were supposed to call and tell me. I may wait until 3 tomorrow and if I don't hear back call them again. Or should I just wait? I don't want to delay things by calling too much, I also never got the :thank you for interviewing" e-mail or confirmation they have all my stuff (aside from the confirmation the fax spews out!)

Oh no definitely, I think you should call tomorrow if they don't get back to you. You have a very good reason and a vested interest in gathering more info. As far as the confirmation email gone, I think those are spotty at best. Don't worry about it.

Thanks for the reassurance! I will wait 'til mid-afternoon and try them back.

So I phoned today...and for anyone else who is concerned...there are NO vaccine requirements currently in place for CP housing.

Disney should start recruiting for Fall 2009 about early Feb. If you don't want to wait for your school's presentation, you can do the online presentation.

And hopefully I will see you down there. I will be applying for Fall 2009 too.

 

[Katelynnnnn]

Does anyone know if they ever contact your work or old work places?

Not that I know of (unless you are on restricted-hire and trying to come back to work, and I'm guessing for that).

 

[Caribbeanprincess]

I'm quite worried right now. Our recruiter at the university sent some acceptance letters to one of the Campus Representatives and she will mail the letters locally, the problem is I called her because all my friends who had been accepted told me she had called them saying she had the letters. So I called her and asked about mine, she said I was on her list but she didn't have my letter yet, so she told me to call my recruiter to ask her about the status of the letter, i'm trying to get in contact with her, i've been calling her for 3 days and e-mailing her a few times, but I can't get a hold of her. So i'm starting to freak out, because all my friends got called and i'm like, stuck...

My daughter is interested in the high school program for graduating seniors
How does that work? and Should she start applying now. She graduates in 09 and all she talks about is working for Disney. We are going to Disney this June, should we stop by casting while we are there?
