College Program Questions Thread, Pt 3

[SpectroMagic125]

If it goes past 2.5-3 weeks is it a good idea to call them? I think they told me I should hear back in 2-3 weeks...I think I'd go crazy if it takes 4-6!

Yeah, if I don't hear anything by next week (which would be the 3 week mark for me), I'm definitely going to call to see what the status of my application is.

I have a question. I'm having a hard time getting to my recruiter (Christy). Does anyone know the number I can call for questions of my applications such as more roles to add on my role checklist? Thanks!

Nevermind, I found it!

HelloOo..

So I have been waiting for the perfect time to get into the CP. . and guess what? This fall is the best time! Why is that?? WELL, unfortunately (..or fortunately ) I missed the deadline to apply for the medical campus at my school.. by one summer semester. NOW I must wait one year to apply again.. SO I decided its the best time to do the DISNEY CP.

EITHER WAY, I applied and had my interveiw yesterday with Tiffany
She seemed super cool, and I'm so excited! I was told 4-6 weeks (double eek!) that i'd have to wait to find out the news. I was wondering if anyone had her email address? I didn't recieve any info. with it.

Either way, I've been on just about every page of this thread and I'm SOOO psyched!

I really really want to get accepted. Problem is, I'm going to have to leave my current job. (AND PERHAPS COME BACK TO NO JOB AFTER THE PROGRAM) I get paid very well here and it is the best job any one can have ..
ASIDE FROM DISNEY. but i dont want to be jobless when I come home. I have quite a bit of responsibilites I've got to be on top of. SO I CAN'T BE JOBLESS. ugh, what to do what to do.

Either way,

I'm excited.

I'm interviewing with Tiffany tomorrow!

I was planning on asking her if she had an email address at which I could contact her with any further questions, so if I get it from her, I'll let you know, Jessica!

Have you talked to them yet? It sounds like you're very passionate about your job, and I'm sure you're a great employee. They may be able to arrange a leave of absense. That's what my employer is doing, and it's going to work out great.

Hope everything works out for you!

Hello, I wish you good luck and send you a bus load of pixie dust , just incase! They may say 4-6 weeks, but sometimes it takes just two weeks or even a few days. Why don't you talk to your boss and see if they let you take a leave of absence or school leave (it is an internship, so it is school). That is what I'm doing at my job, a school leave. Hope you get accepted and are able to work everything out your job.

Ok, not sure if I should post this question here, but I'm not sure where else to go...I've been trying to join the group chat but every time I get logged in and say hello it boots me back out! Very frustrating! Does anyone know why this might be happening?

That's been happening to me as well, and I don't know why.

Well, I got an email back from the recruiting center and they said that they sent a letter about the status of my application in the mail, which makes me believe I got rejected because everyone whose getting accepted these days are getting them through emails. Has anyone who recently got accepted got the purple folder without the email first?

sounds good. i wonder if they'd allow me to do thissssss. if i were to be accepted --then i'd talk this over with my boss. hopefully they're understanding. well muchas gracias!

SpectroMagic125,
Don;t be so worried. The letter they may have sent was the pending letter, which some people have gotten. Also, there is no order or reason why some people get it in an e-mail or through snail mail. I got my letter on the 2nd day people on here began the postings about getting e-mails, so I was freaking out. People posted on a Thursday about e-mails. Friday I got my packet in snail mail, no e-mail or anything. Don't worry I got the same doubts as you!!! Try not to underestimate yourself until you get a response somehow!! But, no it doesn't mean you got rejected if you don't get an e-mail!!!
Have a Magical Day!!!

Don't give up hope yet. Disney has been pretty erratic with how they notify people. Just because they sent a letter doesn't mean "no" yet--wait until you get the letter before getting discouraged! Did you request Fall or FA? Did they say when they mailed the letter? Any day now...keep your chin up

SPECTROMAGIC.... dont worry! Remember, I told you that my daughter ended up getting an acceptance email when they told her on the phone that she would be receiving a letter in the mail? There's really no rhyme or reason to what their procedure is-- in other words-- you will drive yourself nuts trying to figure it out! We had to wait a little over 6 weeks--and yes, at that point, we were definately nervous wrecks. But, since it hasnt even been a full 3 weeks for you, just relax! I know, easier said than done! But really, just keep on thinking positive, and you'll be fine. Best of luck!

Thank you very much. Hearing your story made me feel better knowing you got it from mail and not email. You really do have such a positive energy about you, which is just what Disney needs! Thanks again!

They didn't tell me when they sent it, they just told me if I didn't get anything by May 1st, then to call them back. I applied for Fall. I would love to do FA, but I need to get money to support me during the first couple of weeks down there if I get accepted. Thanks for the advice!

Oh yes, I couldn't forget about you and Tashi. I guess I just got discouraged because of the many acceptance via email. I get most worried when I have too much time to think about it. I think I'm going to occupy my time with homework and reading . Thanks for your support!!

This is why I love the DISBoards, such amazing people here!!

I didn't see this anywhere... so hopefully I'm not repeating someone...

You actually want your support recruiter's e-mail NOT the interviewer. The interviewer does not make the decision on whether or not your accepted, that falls under the recruiter and support recruiter jobs. After the interview you should have received (or will receive) a "thanks for interviewing" e-mail, that will have the correct person's name and contact info on who to contact if you have questions.

If you don't get the e-mail within a week after interviewing, call the main CP number and let them know. They may send it to you late or they can just give you your recruiter's information then.

Hope that helps!

 

[MaryPoppins86]

They haven't yet, because I have my interview tomorrow!! I am nervous about them filling up, too, but I figure they wouldn't interview me if they didn't still have open positions...I also tried to be very open in regards to which roles I wanted, because I'm sure some of them are probably filled already...

I know you all were talking about this a little while ago, but how long after I interview do I hear back a yes or no?

i wish you the best of luck on your interview tomorrow!

 

[theatergal]

hey everyone! I'm really getting nervous now!

I applied in january and had my presentation and interview in the 3rd week of February. Since I wanted Character Performer, I auditioned in Orlando on April 8th. I got an email saying I didn't pass the audition this tuesday (4/14)and now I'm waiting to see if I get another role. My question is, do I have less of a chance of getting another role because it's so late in the recruiting process now? Or does the fact that I applied early and interviewed 8 weeks ago hold some weight?

also, this whole e-mail vs. snail mail is driving me a little crazy lol! Everyday, I have to check my e-mail (multiple times), check my mail box in my dorm building, and check to see if I have a package notification hanging on my door (because the packet may be to big to fit in the mail box) AAHHH! I really want this!! Good luck to everyone else who is going crazy with anticipation, excitment, and nervousness!

Ok what exactly happened to the May 27th Roommate thread!? There are only 4 pages for the College Board and I can't find it...did it get deleted or dissapear? Do threads get deleted if they aren't on the first 4 pages? Help!

You need to go to the main College Board page and scroll alllll the way down. There it should ask if you want to see the threads beginning at last month, 4 months ago, last year, etc. Click on what you want, let the page refresh, and more pages of threads should pop up!

Good luck.

Ok, wait...we're supposed to get an email saying that we completed our interview????

I interviewed on Monday and I haven't gotten one, and my boyfriend interviewed on Tuesday, and he hasn't gotten one! Is it a big deal if we don't get one? Should we really call to tell them that we haven't gotten one?????
