Spring/Spring Advantage 2011 :)

[meganDCP2010]

Hi all! I just stumbled across disboards yesterday while I had some free time and got so sucked into the College Program 3 board that I spent 4 hours reading it and other forums about the CP! I'm so excited to be applying for the Spring 2011 CP!!

For starters, I'm Hannah. I'll be a sophomore at Indiana University Purdue University in Indianapolis later this month (classes start Aug. 24th for me.) I'm currently a secondary history education major. I've been to Disney 11 times and love coming back home every time! I'm not sure yet whether I want to do Spring or Spring Advantage, so I think I'll probably apply for Spring and then ask about extending while I'm down there

I applied for Spring 2010 in October last year, and did not pass the web interview ( ) but I've been doing a TON of research, reading people's advice about how to get accepted, and I'm much more confident in my ability to succeed this time I'm hoping to get accepted and either do Merchandise, Vacation Planner, FSFB, Hospitality, Concierge, or Attractions. I'm also going to put Housekeeping, because I love being at the resorts and doing housekeeping is a million times better than being stuck in Indiana for winter

I can't wait for applications to open!! I check back daily

Good luck this time around!

Applications go live August 23rd! =) Good luck everyone..

I trust your opinion but where did you find your information??

 

[mikelo]

From my recruiter, I'm a campus rep =)

Eek!

 

[jewjubean]

Ahhh fun fun, I did talk to recruiting today and two different people told me the 16-17th :s you know how they are though.

 

[mikelo]

yeah it tends to be one of those "subject to change without notice" type of things haha

I don't know if this has been asked yet, because I haven't read through all the posts, but when does the Spring 2011 start? In January, or is it later in the year, like actual Springtime? Because I know Fall 2010 didn't start in the fall, it started in August (which in Texas, is still summer). So does anyone know when Spring starts?
I'm Kaitlyn, and I was accepted for Fall 2010, but couldn't go (for a couple reasons), but I'm hoping to be accepted for Spring 2011!
I am also very interested in character performer auditions and information, because I applied too late for Fall 2010 to audition for character performer, but I would love to be one! I have a lot of dance and acting experience, and I am 5'6"! So any information on character performers would be greatly appreciated

Spring sessions start in January.

For Character Performer info- check out this thread: Character Heights / CP Auditions
There's lots of info on there.

Thank you very much! Now only a month of waiting .One last question. You must wait until you hear if you have been accepted into the program right?
Not accepted his second choice, temporary basis? How many papers are usually available after the hearings are held ?

 

[Kaitlyn526]

Thanks! Do you happen to know when in January? Do you think there's any chance I could go after the 16th, or do you think it's before that?
Also, when do we find out if we made it in (if we apply at the earliest possible)? I just need to make sure it's before I have to register for spring classes (because if I don't make it in, I want to be taking classes in the spring semester).
Thanks again!

The Spring dates run around mid-Jan, and the Spring Advantage dates run around late Jan/early Feb.

It can vary. For my programs, it took me anywhere from 2 weeks up to 7 weeks to find out (and I applied the first week each time, with the exception of my first CP. But I found out in 11 days then).

 

[Kaitlyn526]

Thanks, Joanna!
Also, about roommates- I know most times,you have a roommate close to the same age as you (either under 21 or over), right? But also if I choose to apply for Spring Advantage (I haven't decided between Spring and Spring Advantage yet) can I have a roommate that is only going to be there for Spring? How does that work?

You have to room with someone that has the same arrival date as you.

 

[Kaitlyn526]

OK thanks- so if I am doing Spring and arriving on January 20th, then my roommate has to be doing the same (they can't be doing Spring Advantage)? What if I apply to extend it while I'm there (to stay through the summer) then do I just get a new roommate when mine leaves, or what?
Thanks

Correct. Your roomates have to have the same check in/out dates as you.

If you extend, you would be moving into a new apartment, with new roomates

Hey Hannah! I'm also applying for Spring 2011, most likely Spring Advantage. But I was wondering, what research did you do for tips on how to pass the web interview? Any tricks? I've heard how they reword the same question several times so you have to be careful and consistent, but I'm just so worried I'm going to fail the web interview and my hopes will be dashed instantly!

I took the web interview a year ago, i passed but i couldn't take the phone interview because i realized that i wasn't ready to take a break from my current year of college.

I remember they look for you to be consistent and honest. Read the questions carefully and try to answer with strongly agree or strongly disagree. Show that your confident in yourself :]

I also remember that there were some questions that looked alike but where just worded differently.

Like for example there was one i remember that went.. Is it ok to be late to work? and then later on there was a question that said Are you always on time to work?

Hi All,

I'm joining the thread a little late but I am going to be doing the "program", I'm so excited. I start January 10th, 2011. Does anyone else know if they are going around that time?
