The Official Spring/Spring Advantage 2010 Thread!

Today is the 2 week date from when I interviewed. Haven't gotten an e-mail yet. Haven't checked my real mail yet though.

D23 starts today. What I wouldn't give to be in CA right now. haha

I e-mailed my future advisor for my university right after I was accepted to see if he would give me credit were I to go ahead and transfer to that school. Maybe he wasn't the right person to contact, but I really wish he would write back! I'm beginning to think I've annoyed him with all these questions I've had before I'm even his student!

Has anyone found out if they're going to be given credit yet? Who did you go to? What kind of credit did they offer?

 

[kmg148]

I did the Spring CP. I got 12 credits towards an internship. I was required to do one.

I took one class online. If your school wont offer internship credit, you could try and take classes online. My undergrad program doesn't offer online classes but the evening divison at my school does, so I was allowed to take that to substitute for a class I would have to take on campus anyway.

I am a business student and I went to my Department head. He was going to allow me credit for the HR management class and give me 6 credits for the internship. Your advisor is probably having to talk to the department head and such before he can let you know. Find out if disney has a presence at this school, if they don't, you will probably have some work ahead of you, but it should be doable for a lot of majors. What is yoru major?

 

[MarinaAndCharlie]

I go to a community college and my adviser called the deans of each department and the only one that said they could give credit was Hospitality and only if you're a hospitality major.

Also as far as online classes go, all of our online courses require at least one test on campus.

Another thing you could try is to look into is trying to achieve credit through these schools and seeing if your school will accept credit from them rather than from Disney itself.

Here's the list:

I interviewed on Thursday two weeks ago (August 27), and I'm freaking out right now. Didn't receive anything yet other than the standard Thank You For Interviewing, and my phone interviewer person said I'd have a reply in 2 weeks .

Hopefully they'll get us a response on our applications soon. Cross your fingers !

I interviewed Monday the 24th... still haven't heard yet... starting to pull out locks of hair here lol...

 

[Pure_Imagination]

Thanks for the advice! My major is communications, but my concentration is in media so I don't know if there are any classes that would be good to give me credit with. I don't think Disney has a big presence in this school. I tried searching for something about the program on their website through the search engine, and nothing ever came up.

I can still take online classes at my community college if I can't get credit through them or my community college. That would be okay, since I need to finish up general education anyway.

 

[MarinaAndCharlie]

Someone said they think they are only sending out emails on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Is that true? Did anyone hear on a day that wasn't Tuesday or Thursday? (via email).

 

[CursedCarolers]

That's just another one of those patterns that people are making up. It could come on any day at anytime. I thought they didn't do weekends but somebody got one on Sunday last week. lol.

I'm either sorry or glad to be the bearer of this news. haha.

I think that was just someone's speculation. I mean, this is only the second week acceptance e-mails have been going out, so it's hard to say that there's a pattern. We have absolutely noo clue what Disney's system for this is (unfortunately lol) if they even have one.

 

[ntoeman]

There's definitely no system as yesterday proved that. It's just whenever they're ready, they send out the next batch of acceptance emails...
