The College Program Questions thread

[teh fish]

There is no way to request attractions/roles. They know what you are doing before you even arrive; it's all based on what areas need more CMs.

Ooo.. haha. I haven't even thought of where I'll be working. I'm in operations too, and I'm flying in next Saturday. My interviewer said she was going to suggest me for ad/lib and the follow up call also said yea, my app was suggesting that area. I wonder if they'll put me somewhere completely different, or if it's hello Tiki Room! XD

DLDan: Um. I think somewhere in this post the exact questions are posted, but they're seriously not brain teasers. It's mostly stuff about yourself, what your current job/school is like, what you might do in particular situations on the job, etcetera. Take some time to relax before the call is scheduled, you'll do fine. It's no biggie. (I watched some SpongeBob beforehand, so I'd be in a ..cheery mood. Heh. I'm lame.)

Wow, I can't believe they're interviewing for 07 already..

Hey Igo. Good luck with checking in.

 

[truebelievers]

I'm just curious if there are any kinds of organizations, clubs, groups, societies, etc. for CP CMs.

Thanks in advance.

What questions do they ask you on your interview specifically?

What questions do they ask you on your interview specifically?

They ask you questions specifically to the roles you selected. They also ask general questions. These are questions like: "good memories from a job" and stuff like that.

I was thinking about doing the CP in Fall 2007.

Do they have a age limit? I would be 24 in the fall of 07. Is that too old to do the CP?

Also will they let you live by yourself? I don't know if I would want to share a apartment with people I don't know.

TIA!

No there is no age limit. You just have to be in school. And no, you can not live alone. The minimum amount of people is 2 in a 1-br.

Hello everybody,
I've got a couple questions regarding the apartments in the CP.

1) Do you get a preference for the kind of apartment you want to live in (i.e., 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, etc.)? I would prefer a 1-bedroom.

2) Are the apartments furnished? Would I need to bring my own desk, dresser, bookshelves, etc.?

TIA!

When you check-in, they ask what bedroom you prefer. I was there really early in the morning and got my preference.

2) Are the apartments furnished? Would I need to bring my own desk, dresser, bookshelves, etc.?
The apartments are finished. No desk, but they have dressers, a bed, and a nightstand.

Good luck to everyone who is applying to be in the CP!! It sounds like a lot of fun & I was going to do it, but I decided to just wait until I graduated to work at Disney!!

Congrats! That is great.

I've got a question about when Disney informs you about whether or not you've been accepted into the program. I already did my interview and they said that it typically takes about two weeks for them to get back to you. However, I plan on going to the entertainment audition in late october/early november. Will I still be informed that I've been accepted into the program, though my roll is still pending, or will they just wait till after I audition to tell me whether or not I've been accepted into the program, even if I don't get picked to be in entertainment?

 

[SweaterInJune]

You'll probably find out within 2 weeks after your audition because they won't assign you until your application process is complete. They used to tell the people who get cast in Entertainment at regional auditions the night of the sudition, but I don't know if they're doing that anymore. Anyhow, don't expect to hear anything until after you complete the application process which if you're going for entertainment, includes the audition. Hope it goes well for you!

 

[imagineerhopefull]

Darn, so I won't be finding out till mid to late november? That's no fun.

 

[Joanna71985]

You won't find out until after your audition. I didn't find out that I was accepted until late April, more then a month after my audition and several months after my interview (I interviewed in Jan, I believe).

 

[WDWFan4Life]

I have a question about scheduling an interview after you attend the presentation. I plan on attending a presentation on October 12, and the school I have to go to is about an hr and 40 mins away from my school. Then the next day I have a mid-term at 11:15 at my school. So I'm going to need to go from my school to the other school to attend the presentation on the 12th and then go back that night take my test and go back to the other school for the interview. So I was wondering if its possible to have an interview either after 2 or 3 or early in the morning. If anyone can help I would appreciate it.
