If I want to apply for Spring 2012, when would be a good time for me to apply?

I'm not exactly sure when applications open, but sometime in early autumn 2011 :]

I see some people have done 4+ CPs. I just want to ask how does that work? Wouldn't it delay your graduation?

I'm still in the process of learning about the CP, so bear with me.

A friend of mine did it and did online classes so they were never behind

When I was in the 2009 fall advantage program, they did room inspections twice.

Do most CPers' parent(s) come along for a couple of days before and after they check in?

My mom would like to fly down with me to help me get all situated and acquainted with the area and everything.. How long would it be typical for her to stay after I check in? (Assuming I even get into the program, haha. I'm planning waaay far in advance here.)

Also, I know of some people who have driven down and can pack a whole carload of stuff.. To those who have flown to and from their CP, what did you pack in your suitcases vs. what you shipped in a box to your apartment (if anything)?

Thanks so much! :]]

My roommate and I ((best friend)) were the only ones in our apartment whose parents weren't there on move-in day, if that says anything. I can't speak for everyone, but I think it's definitely a pretty common thing for families to come up to a week before check-in to play in the parks and help the CPs get settled on move-in day, buy them groceries, etc. I don't have my folder with me right now, so I don't remember exactly, but the first few days are jam packed with housingetc meetings, Traditions, Role Training, and Park Orientation. Usually these are just during the morning/mid-afternoon, though, so you'll have later in the day free... but you might be SUPER tired and/or have to wake up early the next day.

We drove down with our DD (separate cars) the day before and stayed for a few days afterwards. Out of the 8 girls in her apartment 5 had parents with them the first day.

Thanks so much you guys! I just didn't want to be that weird girl with her mom hanging around.. haha :]

hey guys! i've been looking around the board for a while and its very informative, thanks!

I had a few questions... The presentation for the college program didnt come to my city until today and tomorrow which seems late to me. I wanted to audition for a character performer and the audition was this past weekend (obviously before the info session). It said on the website that it was encouraged that you attend the info session and apply before coming to the audition so I ended up just watching the e presentation and applying on saturday. I qualified for a phone interview which i scheduled for thursday. Any tips for it? Particularly anything specific from the info session that I would have missed?

Also, there were 78 people at the audition. We did the animation and dance, I was in no means the best dancer there but I also didnt really mess it up. 12 people were told to stay: seven of them for face roles and 5 for the advanced dance. I got to stay for a role and had my picture taken. I was measured as 5'6" and a few 16ths. Can someone decode all this for me? haha like what are my chances of getting a character role this late in the game etc?

I'm supposed to still be on mine but I fell into some bad ways down there (not illegal just bad choices) I lost sight of why I was there. So I'm probably not your shining star of the program but what I can tell you is if you do get in DONT LOSE FOCUS ON WHY YOU'RE THERE!!!!

It's really easy to do trust me.

But I had to leave for mad dad too he is pretty sick. haha too long of an aswer for a simple question.

I'm sorry about your dad, I hope he's okay.
But concerning the losing focus part I've heard that about many people... Are there any tips I should know about housing, the job etc. That you can maybe give me?
