College Program Questions Thread, Pt 3

[DisKate]

Kate - I got a pending letter in the mail yesterday too! It also scared the life out of me! I just kept thinking, "Aaaaaaaah! Bad things come in small envelopes!" I don't know if I can wait until June 1st to hear! Too long!

Ok, that makes me feel better to know that I'm not the only person who got a pending letter...though it worries me that Patrick didn't get one

June is way to far away in my opinion...but hopefully we won't be waiting that long!

I think that we need to start a petition for Disney to change the color of the envelopes for pending letters....Patrick thought I was going to pass out when I opened my mailbox and found that

I read it all this morning - it was great! (especially since I "know" you from the homeschool thread ) It makes me want to go back to college at age 48 just so I can do the CP!

Hi everyone...Patrick got his rejection letter this morning...so it looks like we will be reapplying for Spring 2010....

Just to clarify, if he takes one class then he can apply for the Spring correct? There is a graduate course being offered in the fall and even though he will have graduated he plans on taking it, we just want to make sure that that means that he can reapply for the CP...

sorry to hear about Patrick! i know i read somewhere on the main college program website that all a candidate needed was to take one class to be qualified for the program. unless they took that info off the site, i can't seem to find it. otherwise i'd say that one class would make him eligible to reapply. have you found out whether you've been rejected or accepted yet? good luck with everything. hope all goes well for spring 2010!

the program is open to full time and part time students. taking one class would qualify as part time.

requirements are here:

Aw, that sucks about Patrick! I hope he has better luck the next time he applies!

 

[DisKate]

Thanks everyone! We are trying to stay positive about this....I am still considered pending, but it would have to be a really really good role to get me to go without him....we're a team and we stick together We'll just reapply in the fall for spring 2010 and hope for the best!

Aw I'm so sorry to hear about Patrick! I'll be reapplying for the spring program as well so we can hope for better luck together! Make sure you guys apply the week applications go up and put down as many roles as you can, as long as theyre roles you could see yourself doing!

Best of luck!

Hello everyone! -First post yay!-
I applied for the Fall 09, and will be having my phone interview for DLR soon.
I was wondering, what are some basic questions they will ask, and that I should prepare for?

Thanks, Pixy.

Welcome to the DIS!

And good luck with your interview!

I dont know about DLR but for WDW they asked a few questions pertaining to why you want to work for disney, why you want to do the CP, and why you want to do the CP at this particular point in your college career.

Mixed in there are situational questions pertaining to the roles you picked on your checklist like for merchandising they ask what youd tell a guest if they wanted something that you didnt have at your store or for attractions what would you tell a child if they were too short to ride?

Just think about situations that could commonly come up in each of the roles youve chosen and think about how you'd react.

They dont expect you to say the right thing each time, they just want to make sure youre on the right track and that you care about the guests and about making their trip special while still remaining professional and keeping with the 'disney show'.


Good luck!

When will they be visiting? There are CM room discounts, as mentioned, however, they disappear pretty quickly for the holiday season on rooms because of how quickly they fill up. You will have a maingate pass that allows some free entrances for guests, but they are blacked out during the holiday season.

If you post the specific dates I can let you know more.

Does anyone know/remember what else is around the walmart that the CP Bus goes to? Like is there just a walmart or is it like a shopping center?

And how often does that walmart bus run? Everyday? or Every Tuesday/Thursday???

just curious...
