DCP App Requirements??

[Tatiana Trevino]

Does anyone know if we need letters of recommendation or a resume to apply for the DCP? If so, how many letters?

No letters of recommendation but you should have a resume. You will feel like you are inputting the same information as what is no your resume but one is preferred.

None of the kids I know, including my dd, had a resume when applying to DCP. I suppose you could use it to have employment info handy. But, it's nothing that gets sent in.

 

[Tatiana Trevino]

Oh awesome! I wasn't sure if it was part of the app that gets sent in or not.

What goes get sent in? Just the app we fill out?

The only thing that gets submitted is the application, which includes personal information, job history, education information, and that's about it. You are given the option to include a resume or letters of recommendation but they are not required. From what I have heard, no one actually looks at the resumes that are submitted, as the first thing to look at your application is a computer system that decides if you get a WBI or not, but that's not really backed up by any information other than he-said-she-said stuff from the Facebook page.

Best to fill out the application to your best ability, just in case, and include a resume if you want to feel more comfortable. A tip for filling out the app from the DCP programs blog, if you are worried about all your information being there that you would normally include on a resume, is include volunteer work and other extracurriculars in the job history section. That way you can provide them with a little more information about yourself.

Thank you so much! I plan on applying this August for the Spring of 2017! I am really nervous!

@Tatiana Trevino don't be nervous! Just work on building your resume this summer with something relevant, and you'll be perfectly fine! Just have faith, trust, and the pixie dust will work it's way in
