The Official Spring/Spring Advantage 2010 Thread!

[SpectroMagic125]

Hi everyone, its Brittany. I just got rejected for the Fall 2009, so the only thing for me to do is apply for the Spring 2010 semester. I'm hoping that I really get in the second time around, because I will be applying with a friend this time, and I hope we both get in!

 

[DisneyLover0331]

hey every one! My name is Lauren and I am really really really excited to finally be applying to the CP. I will be applying for the Spring 2010 program at DL, and I am so so so so so nervous and excited... I just wish that I could apply already and figure out if I am accepted! I live in Arizona, and am just finishing up my sophmore year at Arizona State University. I am going to be applying for Attractions, and merchandise, and I'm sure a few others I am really enjoying reading every one's posts, and I hope that the application process goes well for every one... I already have my online application filled out even though I have to wait till Septemeber to actually send it in haha. Well thats all that I can think of for now even though I am sure that there is more that I could share haha. Talk to you all later

It wouldn't matter. However, the majority of interviews are now done over the phone.

Hey, I'm Nia. I hope to get the JC or GMR (one of my friends lives near Orlando and is one of the gansters) or merchandise.

I'm sure someone has already posted the answer, but I must ask:
When does the time to start applying for Spring 2010 start? I believe I heard August?

yup. it comes out some time between late august/early september. not too far from now. i have to wait double the time for the fall 2010 apps.

 

[PetitePixy]

See, I will be graduating from College in August, so will I still be able to apply for Spring?
Why are you waiting till Fall 2010? (if you don't mind me asking)

No. You have to be currently a student during the semester before the CP. So in order to do Spring/SA 2010, you would have to be in school during the Fall 2009 semester.

You have to be enrolled/taking classes during the time you apply. Are you taking any classes in August before you graduate? If so, you can apply. You only have to be taking one class to be consider by Disney as a part-time student. Here is the requirements straight from the website:

1. Enrolled as a Full Time or Part Time Student and Taking Classes
Students must be currently enrolled and taking classes in a college or university in the United States and have completed at least one semester.

* Students who have not yet graduated from high school but have dual enrollment with a college are not eligible to apply.
* Those who have taken college courses, but are currently taking "time off" from school are not eligible to apply.
* College Freshmen may apply during their first semester of school to participate during their second semester. The Disney College Program can not serve as your first semester of school.
* College Seniors may apply for the program and participate immediately after graduation, but must be enrolled in school at the time of their interview.
* Graduate students may apply, however it is important to note that this program, and its educational components, are designed for undergraduates.

Well...my last class is August 15, does that count?
Uggg, that just makes even more pressure to make it in this semester.

If they start interviewing for the Spring Cp before August 15th, then you can apply. You just have to still be in school when you apply. Good luck! Hope you can apply before you graduate!

i don't mind you asking at all. i'd go for spring 2010 if i want to but since i'm not such a big fan of school, i would rather get as much of it done before i apply for the college program.

 

[MaryPoppins86]

since i'm the one paying for my own education, my budget has kinda been tight on me. so instead of doing an actual major, i'm just going to take one or two classes starting fall. so in other words, i just might be applying with all you spring and spring advantage hopefulls.

 

[PetitePixy]

Ah, I see. That makes complete sense, and that was my original plan as well. But since I've been accpeted, my plans have completely changed. Now I will wait and get my AA after the program. Which means, I have to take 2 more classes in Spring of 2010 to get my AA, which will actually be good, if I decided to apply for an internship again.

Hi guys!
My name's Craig, and I'm also hoping to do the CP in Spring 2010, as soon as I get the OK from my college advisor.

I was looking at either the Attractions or Transportation positions, does anyone have any other recommendations?

I'm hoping to get into Spring 2010 as well!!
I've heard that the more roles you add = the better chance of you getting accepted into the program. So I'm going to be applying for a TON of roles! Lol.

in a way it does. doing an actuall AA degree would mean putting me back a semester or two if i did the program. but just taking one or two classes, it wouldn't matter. i won't have to worry about graduating on time or not. i'll go for an actual degree whenever i have my finances in order.
