The Official 2013 Fall/Fall Advantage Thread!!

[PirateSnowmen]

The link won't work for me!

All it is is just a very informal list of people who have been accepted, the job they have been accepted for, and what term (fall/fall advantage). It's not an official link; people can go to that website once they've been accepted and submit their information so that it will show.

Hello there, I'm a late comer to the program so I don't think I'll make it but I wanted to give it a shot. I just sent in my app. about 10 mins ago, so yeah... But this is my last semester so I wanted to at least try. If not I do have one more class to take in the fall so one last chance there. Always gotta look on the positive side

Here's hoping

So a little about me:

I'm going for an office certificate at my local just turned state college. I have an AA that was focused in Education. So I never really know what to tell people when they ask what year I am in college, I say three going by the credits I have. Even though this is my "last" semester since I am graduating in May.

So have any people for Fall that had been placed on pending gotten accepted yet?

Hi everyone. Im Stacey. I did my phone interview on the 26th. My dashboard still just says "In Process" I got the "thanks for applying" email but nothing else. I feel like I check my dashboard between every class hoping for something.

How is "in process" different from "pending"

Thanks for this thread though its been a lifesaver

"in process" is essentially the same as pending. kind of. "pending" isn't actually something that will show on your dash, but you will get an email. it's just a classification CPers use. It means that your application will potentially be "in progress" longer than others who get an acceptance/nlic right away.

 

[StaceyM]

Ah i haven't gotten any emails other than the thanks for interviewing, you'll get an update on your status...2-3 weeks blah blah" (unless thats the email you mean)

 

[misscpround2]

@ StacyM, that's the only email I got as well. I've checked my dashboard and it's completely blank! doesn't even said I applied I emailed tech support they said it was just a glitch, however it hasn't changed. double

I'm the same way, as well as a few others here on the board. I did my phone interview on the 20th and I still haven't gotten anything more than the "thanks for applying" email (which I got around midnight EST on the 21st). As I understand it, that basically means they haven't made a decision, but they will within 2-3 weeks. No one I know of yet has waited 2-3 weeks and then received a "pending" email. From what I've seen, most people get a pending email within a few days; with a pending email they will basically say that they will make their decision by April 19th (I think that's the date). I think that's basically their way of saying "we said we'd get back to you within 2-3 weeks, so here's us getting back to you, but we need more time to make a decision."

The main difference is if you're pending, you will get an email saying you are pending a final decision. I believe it still shows up as "In progress" on your dashboard. You aren't officially pending until they send you the email saying you are.

Yep, me too. Interviewed the morning of the 19th, and had no word. From what I can tell it's a good sign. I'd rather be waiting with no word as opposed to getting a pending email.

Agreed. All of my family & friends keep telling me "no news is good news." But, I don't want to automatically think that because there is still definitely a chance of being pended/NLIC. Some people have been waiting 2+ weeks with no news, so I'm interested to see if those people will be accepted. I think that will ease my nerves a bit, but I still don't want to get too confident since there's always the chance of being declined.

I have been told the "no news is good news too". I interviewed the 22nd. I get really anxious when people who interviewed after me get accepted and even more so when someone who interviewed before me gets NLIC. I am in the hope that I am so awesome they just don't know where to place me I just want to know what I am doing next semester. I graduate in May so this is my last chance to CP and my backup to PI.

I'm in the same boat. I graduate this summer (should be in May, but it's a long story) and for me the next step after graduating is applying for nursing school. I didn't apply [to nursing school] for the fall, so if I don't get accepted to the CP, I won't have anything to do in the fall. I do have a backup plan, but I really hope it doesn't come to that.

I'm also pretty anxious, for exactly the same reasons that you described. That's why I don't even look at the facebook pages. If I get accepted, I'll join.

Also, after I interviewed I called my mom and went over all of the questions I was asked and the answers I gave. She has interviewed & hired (as well as rejected & fired) TONS of people in her career, and she said all of my answers to the questions were excellent. Her telling me that just freaks me out more

Haha. That would freak me out too. I am thinking about unjoining the main group mostly because a couple people there every post they make I want to punch them. But I am really enjoying the DLR group, it is such a different environment over there!

I understand graduations being pushed back. Mine got pushed back a whole year and I had to take more classes then I would like because my school is stupid on when it schedules classes, and engineering is difficult to pass haha. I kind of have a back-up, I just really want to work for Disney as my career and this is the best foot in the door. If I don't I will try and get an engineering internship in the area and try and get a PT job and kind of work my way up.

Good luck with nursing! I have a lot of friends that do it, and its an insane schooling.

Yes I totally know what you mean! From what I've read, it seems like it's the same people commenting every time. I'm also tired of seeing people whining about being pended on the main FB group. Like, I get it, it sucks being pended. But you don't need to complain about the same thing every couple of hours and you especially don't need to keep asking every couple of hours when you'll be accepted. We don't work for Disney so we don't know either! But, as I said, I'll join if I get accepted, especially because I'd like to meet some people before I go down and hopefully get a roommate. I've only been assigned a random roommate once, and that was my freshman year of college. It was awful

Yeah my graduation was pushed back because two of the classes I have left to take can't be taken concurrently. Apparently one is a prerequisite for the other. Of course, in my entire 4 years of school my advisor never told me that until I was being advised for this current semester and it isn't indicated anywhere online. So, this summer I'll only have 1 class left to take, but that class is only being offered as a study abroad. So, if all goes well, I may be spending the month of June in Scotland, which is why I couldn't apply for fall advantage. I won't know for another week or two if the study abroad program met its quota on people and will be allowed to go, so that's another thing I'm waiting for. If it isn't able to go, I have no idea what I'm going to do. Hopefully the class will be offered on campus this summer as a replacement for the study abroad, but if not I can't realistically come back another semester just to take one stupid class. Told you it was complicated

Sorry, that was kinda long
But, here's to hoping we all get accepted!

Haha no problem! Scotland would be so fun! I was never able to do that kind of stuff because my major is hard to do thing through different places, let alone countries. I wish I could have! My school offers some classes only every other semester or on the fall semester of an odd year, so it gets weird with timing everything out. And of course on the list of the suggested what you should take when, they don't tell you... and my advisor changed like every year. We finally got one who knew what she was doing and she got a promotion right at the time you register for classes. Yea that was awesome.

There is certain groups for certain day check in too. So that would be a great place to find a possible roommate. Though I have had at least 1 random roommate every year. 2 have turned out to be great friends, like 8 (I have had a lot leave at the semester haha) have been decent, and I have had 2 that are horrible. So it really is luck of the draw.

I can't to fall advantage either. I am in 2 weddings (in one week) this summer and have a couple other commitments. I actually preference DLR and hopeful that is where I get!

And figures crossed that are acceptances come soon!

I'm so sorry! This is definitely a nerve wracking process but hopefully you get the PI position. Keeping my fingers crossed and sending lots of pixie dust your way!
