Fall 2007 College Program

[RubyTurner]

I'm doing Fall Advantage in Merchandise and I'm reallly hoping that I get to work near (or in) the World Showcase in Epcot. That would be really cool! I Studied Abroad in England last year and I told my interviewer that but I didn't specifically mention Epcot. Oh well, somewhere in the MK wouldn't be bad either so I guess I don't really care that much. I'm super excited though!

Well, while I am still waiting this is what I applied for.

I applied for Fall Advantage and chose several things. I chose for Transportation, Hospitality, Character Attendant, Merchandise, Operations, and Vacation Planner.

While I applied for all of those I really hope I get Operations but the others will do though I don't think they will let me do transportation. Too many speeding tickets. If I get accepted I am really hoping to start May 23 because I have several things to do on the 18th.

 

[RubyTurner]

Well, good luck! Perhaps we'll be neighbors or something if you check in on the 23rd!

 

[MickeyD's]

Maybe we'll all be neighbors then since I plan to leave the 23rd as well, lol.

 

[Azure Kaito]

That would be nice. I am still awaiting the damn e-mail saying "Thanks for applying" let alone the mail through the postal service that is due in another week. 1 more day will be the 1 week mark for my interview...God damn, at least 1 more to go. T_T This is horrible and torture.

I KNOW!! Im not going down till Aug becuase our school is on the quarter system and dosent even end spring term until like June 17th or something lame like that and so their not doing personal interviews here until APRIL. So I have to wait probably 2 months to find out if I get in... ahhh I cant concentrate on ANYTHING else!

 

[Azure Kaito]

Sorry to be blunt but screw the personal interview. Just head to wdwcollegeprogram.com and watch the E-Presentation and then just get a telephone interview. ^_^ That is what I did.

 

[dizlover21]

So when you do the online epresentation and the application, does it ask for your current or past gpa?? Cuz I am thinking of diong it now online but I might need to wait till grades come out to boost my gpa which sucks.

 

[Azure Kaito]

From what I remember with the application it only asks what you are in college, Freshman etc., and then it asks when your first semester was and what your expected graduation date. It never actually asks for your GPA but I think Disney would ask your college what your GPA currently is to make sure you have a good standing with your school.

So either way, you are probably going to have your GPA checked one way or another.

They don't ask for your GPA at all. The only way it matters is if your school decides to not give you credit because of it. I was questioning this too, so I emailed my interviewer and had her clear it up for me.

 

[MickeyD's]

I'm all excited for this like you wouldn't believe. I'm a guy btw and I'm assuming most everyone is a girl (assuming). Any guys applying for this so I don't feel quite so alone (not that it's a bad thing).

If there are, I'm hoping to make friends before I go down there so I can room with someone I 'know' if that makes sense...

 

[Azure Kaito]

Lol, I am a guy too. ^_^

Gay, but a guy none the less. ^_^

Anyway who you room with is also dependent on your arrival date so unless you go down with someone you know and have the same arrival date, chances are slim of knowing anyone.

[RubyTurner]

Well, they've started that roommate matching program so if you do that you will at least know one person before you leave!!

 

[Azure Kaito]

Oh you're right! __________(^..^)__________

I totally forgot about that matching system, it is good for bringing only what you need and then sharing it all. Though in my case, a simple 1.5 hour drive and I would be at home to pick up anything I forgot. ^^

Jon

 

[MickeyD's]

Yeah I saw that stuff about the matching system as well.

Before I did my interview I went to various boards trying to get an idea of questions they'd ask and I read about a few people who talked a lot in the forums and online actually picking the same arrival date and making plans to meet there or at the airport so they could room together, that's more what I'm talking about.

My goal is to get to know everyone here so I can be more familiar with some people I might end up living near or with.

 

[Azure Kaito]

Operations for the Fall 2007 Advantage Season.

Congrats man! Looks like we'll both be in Operations. When you come off that excitement high, you can tell us all what day you'll be arriving. I'm coming in on the 23rd.

 

[Azure Kaito]

Alright, I am calm. I too think I will arrive on the 23rd. I haven't set that in stone but I have to do things on the 18th so I think the next best date is the 23rd.

 

[disneyaddict121784]

When did you do your interview??? I am impatiently waiting for my letter!!

OMG!!!! I GOT MY ACCEPTANCE LETTER TODAY~!!!! OMG OMG!!! YAY!!!

Operations for the Fall 2007 Advantage Season.

 

[Azure Kaito]

I did my interview one week ago today. The thing is that I live in Florida and the Disney company mails things from Florida so it is likely that I got mine sooner since I live in Florida. If you live out of state the USPS takes longer. Hope you get yours soon.
