What if no Purple Folder?

What do you get if you do not get accepted into the CP? An email, or just a regular sized letter? Do they send it to your permanent address or your college address?

 

[ZeroToHero]

You get a regular sized letter. I don't know what they send it to, as I only included one address. I would imagine your college address though, if you provided that.

Let me just say I got an email and then a letter and it was devastating. When I got the email I cried for half an hour. Then I was starting to feel better and then I got the letter and it was crushing pain all over. I am not saying this to scare you but it really really sucked. Insult to injury.

 

[ZeroToHero]

I got mine at work... I had to get through my line of people, and then I was able to go in the back stairwell and cry for about 20 minutes.... while people came out to tell me that it didn't really matter. Uhmm... yes it does.

That sucked... haha.

I know people kept trying to say oh its fine its not a big deal who cares. Who cares I will tell you who cares, ME! thats who. lol My little sister did not understand why I was crying (she 18 its not like shes young) and she thought I was acting like a baby but my dreams felt like they had just been shattered.

Last semester I didn't get ANYTHING. No email, no letter. I had email them myself and then I got a generic message. It annoyed me to no end, like, be professional. Oh well, that's over.

 

[lala88]

NOTHING!!! That would have killed me. I don't know what I would have done, and then to be rejected on top, that is horrible.

 

[JoMarie]

Oh it was. They told me I was pending and that I would hear by December 1, then on November 30 (or something like that) they said that we would hear by December 18. December 18 came along and I had heard NOTHING. Gosh, I was frustrated.

 

[lala88]

Yeah especially because by December 18th it is so close to the arrival dates that you would want to be like getting excited and ready and things. I would have been so mad! Did you apply for the fall?

 

[JoMarie]

Yeah. I did the web interview today because I wasn't sure if I could apply again. I had heard about some no applying under 6 months rule, but I think that's for regular part or full time CMs. I have to call and schedule my interview tomorrow morning. AH! I made sure I applied early this semester, last semester I applied at the end of October.

 

[lala88]

If you passed the web interview that is all that mattered. I didn't get in for this spring either and i applied in like late September. I applied again on like the third day the apps were out for this term and I didn't have to retake the online which was very nice and then when I had my telephone interview they didn't say anything about not being able to apply for 6 months and I told them I applied for the spring. So you should be fine. Did you apply for fall or fa?

 

[JoMarie]

I was hoping that if I couldn't the web interview would have told me. Phew! I applied for Fall and if I'm down there and want to stay extra, I'll just extend. How about you?

I actually have a trip to WDW planned for the last week in August with my family, maybe if-I mean when! I get accepted, we can pushed the trip up and then I'll just stay down there. I'm just scared that I'm going to be lonely around Thanksgiving and Christmas.

 

[lala88]

Me too! I applied for Fall because I got an offer for a summer job with one of my teachers so I didn't want to pass it up but I told them that if I could only get into FA then I would do it. I am trying to go down the first week of July for my birthday but my mom is not so keen on the idea. And about Christmas and Thanksgiving I am soooo nervous because I am really close to my sisters and I have never even been away from my house for more than 2 weeks so this will be a new thing for me. I was thinking for Thanksgiving and Christmas I would have like a dinner or something because I am a fairly good cook and I cook our turkey every year! lol

 

[JoMarie]

If we're both down there (AND WE WILL BE!), I'll help with dinner! I make some good mashed potatoes! I'm close to my family and LOVE the holidays so I'm scared I'm going to be miserable. I thought I was just being a big baby about the holidays. Ah, it makes me feel better that someone else feels the same way! I was thinking of not applying and just applying for the Spring, but I figured that the positives of being down there will outweigh the bad.

Last semester while I was waiting to hear back, it would actually keep me up at night thinking about it. I am NOT looking forward to waiting all over again.

 

[lala88]

I know the exact same thing happened to me every night I was so nervous and I was checking my email in the middle of the night even though I knew no email was coming that late I still thought that maybe it got held up some how! lol it was crazy. And of course WHEN we get in you can help. I was thinking of just waiting for Spring too but then I though about it and decided that I just kept having to apply and try and try again until I get in. I can feel it this is going to be good, for both of us!
