The Official 2013 Fall/Fall Advantage Thread!!

[dewpointe]

I never post on here but I wanted to say that I have been accepted in the DCP for the fall quarter this year working for Merchandise. It was a last minute idea and I saw they were accepting applications for the fall just a few weeks ago and I've always wanted to apply. I decided to go for it.

Now I'm super excited and accepted the offer so I'm waiting for my next step currently.

Any tips?

Don't worry. I was in the same position, waited 18 days without hearing anything and then got my top choice! Several others who waited this long were also accepted into their top choices. Hang in there!

I've got my fingers crossed!

Today marks 2 weeks since I was pended. Hangin' in there

Had my phone interview this afternoon. My scheduled time was 1:45, she called at about 1:52. Here name was Nancy, she was really nice and sounded like she was really happy to talk to me. The interview lasted about 15 minutes. I remembered to call her by her name and she seemed pleased that I did. I'm hoping that she liked my answers.

Whew! I just got done with the WBI, after failing last time, and I passed! So much weight off of my shoulders. Now I get to stress out about my phone interview on Monday. . Congrats to everyone accepted so far!

Congratulations to those of you who just finished your interviews!

Congrats on accepting Merchandise, and the first Fall Quarter person I've met.

Once you've already accepted your offer, paid your fees, and chosen your dates I would most definitely recommend checking out the onboarding site.

Also, if you haven't already make sure that you've got everything situated with your school for Financial Aid or anything else you may need to keep in good standing during your program.

Other than that, make your plans on how you're going to get down to Florida!

Have a Magical Day!

Man three days ago I find out I got accepted into Fall Advantage - Recreation and on the same day found out I can no longer do the program..D: But congrats to the rest of you! I'm totally jealous, can't wait til I can apply again and actually accept!

I got NLIC'd this morning.

How have you guys worked out college class credit? Unfortunately I didn't have AP in high school (so I need full course load every semester), so it looks like I'll be doing 2 summer classes one summer and such to graduate on time if I do the DCP. Did your college accept any class credit or say they would? Just wondering. Congratulations to those who made it, and to those who didn't, try try try again!

I got NLIC'd this morning.

I'm so sorry.

But don't let this stop you from trying again! Look on the bright side...if you had been NLIC'd at the end of the decision window, your 6-month non-reapply window would still be in effect for Fall, 2014. But, by getting it now, you will (probably) be able to reapply for the fall!

For what it's worth, the 6 month waiting period applies only to failed WBIs. If she passed her WBI then she can apply right away next season, so that's a little bit of good news.

Thank you for the info, yeah I passed the WBI. It was the phone interview I failed.

Hi everyone! I just was accepted this past week for QSFB for the Fall program! I've been wanting to do the college program since I was in undergrad (I'm graduating from a graduate program this summer) and I still don't believe that I'm moving to Disney in August. Can't wait to meet everyone and hang out in the happiest place on Earth!

Congratulations! I haven't seen anyone else from grad school on here yet...unless I over looked it?. I too had wanted to do it in undergrad but never had the time. I will have to take some online courses during the program though as I'm not quite finished yet.

I am in the process of figuring out how to deal with my school credit. There are people who have done the Disney Program before and they directed me to her. Just waiting for an e-mail back regarding how I will go about with school and the program. Hoping to know by tomorrow so I can send out my fees then choose my dates.

I'm not stressing because there isn't much I can do at this point.

And for those still waiting or who were not accepted, Don't worry! Be Happy! You can try again eventually and you will get a response if you haven't yet gotten one.

sigh. day 19 since the interview, and still nothing. why are they doing this to meeee.

 

[Time Traveler]

I got a second "pending" email yesterday; I have been pending for over 3 weeks now. Scared me (again) because it begins with "Thank you for your interest".

Good to know it starts the same way. I'd have probably freaked out instantly otherwise. I'm in the pending boat, too (not quite 2 weeks yet for me). I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for both of us.

 

[hystericas]

So I have apparently been pended, and I was pended on the 21st after having my interview on the 18th and didn't even know until now when I decided to explore my dashboard.
My stress level just completely skyrocketed.
