Do you pick your program dates after you pay your fees for the program?

[Baymax2.0]

I am looking to apply for the DCP for the Spring of 2017, but I am taking a class located at my university the following summer so I have to make sure my dates for the program (given that I am accepted) fit with that. In saying that, I don't want to have to pay all the fees and then go on to pick program dates... it would be fine if I got to see the choices for available dates before accepting my position and paying the dues.

So anyone who has been accepted, do you pay the dues then pick the dates or do you have to pay before picking your dates? Thank you!!

My dd had to accept the offer, then pay the fees and then was able to choose her arrival date.

Do you think there'd be anyway they'd let me see the available dates before accepting the offer?

I doubt it. It's all computerized. But perhaps someone here has a better suggestion.

I recommend joining the Facebook group for that semester when it gets created. When acceptances come out you can ask people with the same role what arrival dates were available to them.

Is the departure date same for everyone?

No. My dd was offered Aug 22 and Sept 6. She took the later date so she could work her summer job until Labor Day Weekend. Others getting accepted are getting offered dates in mid-Aug. I believe her's is one of the latest starting dates.

You pay fees first. Departure dates (at least for my program) were the same for everyone, but arrival dates were different. I recommend joining a FB group where others are posting their dates.

Did you do the spring or fall program?

Did you do the spring or fall program?

I did Fall Advantage. Everyone arrived at different times in early summer, and left on January 4.

Okay cause I'm looking to do the spring 2017 and I've seen a lot of different departure dates for past spring programs and they seem to vary.
