I'm going crazy waiting! I wish they could let you know right away. I just had my interview on Saturday, so, it seems like I will still have a little bit to wait before I know. If I get in, I'll be doing Fall Advantage

I just had mine Sunday and I feel like it's been weeks! I don't know how I will handle it a few weeks from now and still no decision!

I hate my college. They have had the CP presentation every semester since i started there, and now, for the semester I want to go, apparantly b/c they aren't doing the presentation they aren't offering credit for the program. I'm not sure how it matter about me getting in, I might just have to take a leave of absence, but that means NO CREDIT. yay.

 

[SiSiMonique2009]

I've been waiting 19 days and I think I have gone insane! I check my mail all the time because my school fills our boxes a few times a day. I'm always thinking maybe they just put it in later! Its enough to drive anyone crazy! I just got back to school from spring break and was hoping it would be here waiting for me!! I hope my wait is coming to an end with good news soon!

The waiting is the worst part but just hang on and stay positive good luck!

I have the same problem at my school, but I went and talked to my career services and they told me if I got a position that was related to my major and submitted a letter to the head of the department they would definitely consider allowing it. I would check with your CS and see what they say, most try and help their students out the best they can so you may be an exception! Good Luck!!

I emailed the registrar last asking what the school's requirements were for the program. I know I am kinda doing this backwards. Probably should have contacted the school before applying. But I don't use academic advisement b/c I am undecided and with my past experience with them, basically I am told "take a couple classes in something you may like, get gen eds out of the way now." Really no benefit to me, I could have figured that out on my own!! Plus the one time I DID talk to them about Disney they still were doing the program!

Anyway, on my school's website, they told me to email the registrar. Registrar emailed me back telling me to call the Hospitality & Tourism dept.. I did, and they referred me to my school's Career Development Services. That's when I found out about all of that good stuff about no credit, not sure if they will continue program with Disney, blah blah blah. Woman took down my name and phone #. Told me she'd call back with more info. Right before their office closed, she gives me the number of someone @ the H&T dept.... It's the same woman who referred me to her!!

I'm guessing since I am undecided that that won't work with applying it to my major. I am thinking about switching THAT to History & Social Studies Education for High School. But then I'd be kinda in a tough spot with all of that. I just don't understand if they and Disney had a falling out or whatever, or if they won't be allowing kids on their program, WHY would they still let Disney have their name on the website?! I hope if Disney calls Buff State they have an easier time sorting all of this out. But honestly I don't think Disney would care enough about one kid to take the time to figure all of this out. So, I am starting to think I probably won't be going. Which makes me want to transfer to a school that will let me go. I really have no emotional ties to this junk heap of a school.

Thank though and I am so sorry for the long-winded-ness

No its fine.. I actually graduate in May so I am not doing the program through my school at all. My school (Iowa State University) still has it available for some colleges but mine (business) doesn't accept it as an internship because a few years ago people were calling at 2 am complaining that they were cleaning grills till 2 am and that had nothing to do with their major (they should have thought about that first before accepting the role??)

I dont know how your school is set up but mine if you are a business major you can go through the college of liberal arts and do the program for credit as electives. If your recruiters information is on the website for your school you may want to try contacting them and see why your school isn't doing the program anymore and who his contact at the school was and see if you can contact that person and arrange something. If not and your school allows you to take a semester off you could always do that go the Disney and then start back to school the following semester. Just remember if you choose this route since you wont be a full time student you might not fall under your parents health insurance, also problems might arise with student loans or scholarships.

sorry this was long too haha.. let me know if you need anymore help!!!

I applied and did my interview last Friday and am now playing the waiting game...
I thought I'd post on this thread to hopefully meet people & find potential room mates (if I get accepted...*crossing fingers*).
So let's see...
My name is Jessica. I live in Idaho. I applied for FA. I'll be 21 in June but either way I'd still choose the Wellness style apartments in Patterson or Chatham. I applied for attractions, costuming, and quick-service food - kitchen only. I put attractions as my number one choice *crossing fingers!*

There will be more to come when I get the time and/or when I get accepted. Thanks!

i did my interview that same day! and my name is jessica as well. what part of idaho do you live in? i live in utah, and right now im in logan at utah state i hate this waiting period though to find things out. id rather know sooner than later, whether its a rejection or not. lol. oh and im new here! ive been looking around since yesterday, but i decided what the hey and joined!

Mother!!! you stalker!!! lol jk jk <3 ya!!Mother!!! you stalker!!! lol jk jk <3 ya!!

Don't worry your not the only one...My mum has browsed the forum too as I'm sure many other moms and dads have! When I asked her for some help on preparing for my interview she found this website (before I did) by sending me a link to a post and wasn't expecting to find me later on after I registered. It was a fun moment when we talked on the phone, lol. I love my mum she's the best!

Welcome! I'm also earning my ears! I joined a week or so ago.
I live in the northern panhandle part of Idaho. Yes, the waiting game isn't that much fun but we must endure! To pass the time you could check out my blog (see siggy)...the last two posts have a bunch of links to other CP or Disney-related websites. If you do check out my blog, sign my guest book (comment on the About Me page) or leave a comment under the actual posts.

But...if you don't want to get hooked in a vicious cycle of Disney/CP obsession and unofficially becoming a member of PFA (Purple Folders Anonymous - http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?p=30875809&posted=1#post30875809) then I would suggest going outside and maybe flying a kite? Reading a book? Doing some homework? LOL! Can any sane potential CPer do that though?
