When Will Fall 2013 online /interviews start?

[mickeyway]

Just wondering when i can start looking for 2013 Fall college program Info. I got rejected this year after the phone interview. I was pending for about 6 weeks and then found out I did get in. But I want to try again. I hope to apply as soon as it becomes available. I think I started a bit late this year. So how can I find out more information?

In the past, applications have gone up in early September. As you know, phone interviews are scheduled immediately after passing the web interview, so you can expect interviews to begin in mid-late September.

However, this is simply speculation because Disney does not give a specific application posting date.

Hope this helps

One thing to keep in mind that they don't make offers on a first-come, first-served basis. It is quite possible that someone could interview the first day and then be pended until around the pending deadline before they find out if they are in or not.

The concept of "applying late" is somewhat of a misrepresentation of facts. People who apply and interview at the very end have received offers (some were even pended for a bit and received offers). Others did not.

The only real thing of "applying late" is when someone goes to apply and they see that they are no longer accepting applications *or* they did apply and didn't follow through with setting up their interviews before they were cut off.

Fall 2013 applications will go live at the end of January usually around the 20th. In september, the applications for the spring 2013 term will go live.

Fall 2013 Applications will open near january of 2013.

But I'm not sure why you wouldn't apply for Spring 2013? Those applications will open in about 3 months...late august/early september of this year.

Also, I have to disagree with the "applying late is just as good as applying early" Although it is not a first come first serve basis, this doesn't mean that applying late has the same chances as people applying early. It's just simple statistics that will disprove that.

Good luck to you, I will be applying for the Spring 2013 program.

You are fine to disagree with my statements, but you may be dismissing the huge number of people who are given a pending status.

Offers aren't all given out at the beginning and decrease in number throughout their recruiting period. They are pretty steady throughout the entire time. Offers extended to those who are pended (and declines for that matter) are also pretty steady.

There are people who interviewed the last week that they did interviews and were accepted into various roles, including some that do not have a lot of openings like Vacation Planner and BBB. There are some who interviewed the first week and didn't get offered anything.. even after having a pending status for the full duration of the recruiting time.

I'm not advocating to wait. I'm just saying that one shouldn't apply and interview the first possible chance with the mindset that because they are doing it at that time that they stand a better chance of getting an offer.

I did not want to retry for spring 2013 because I committed to play a DII sport in the spring. I am not going to play after this year. I was put on the pending list this fall then not accepted. However mid August I got an email saying that positions opened up and if I still wanted I could do the Fall CP. I had just signed my NCAA contract the day before. I had to decline the program at that point.

I see that some people apply for the fall after they graduate. How does this work ? I thought you had to be enrolled in college?
