Phone Interview

nikiolola - I'm from Durham too! where abouts do you live?

I think I'd better introduce myself as I'm on here all hours of the day - I'm (another) Charlotte, from Durham and waiting to start at Durham Uni (so I can stay at home and save money). I REALLY want to get on this program but I'm a bit worried about a medical condition I have that could stop me going - none of my family or friends think it's a good idea, but I figured I'd apply and see how well I am nearer the time. I'll be so upset if I can't go :-(

Anyhow, I've got my fingers crossed for everyone and hopefully we'll all get to meet at the f2f interviews!

 

Hi Guys!
I'm Dan from Cardiff. About to go to the Uni of Glamorgan to study media production! Had the email about phone interviews today and hoping to have it next tuesday. Good luck to you all and fingers crossed i look forward to meeting you all!

 

im vic and im from hampshire. going into my third year at Reading studying film and theatre. I did the icp this summer and it was the single most wonderful summer of my life! im a right disney nut too, i think i've been 14 times and to DLP at least 5 times...my family love florida! if there's anything you guys want to know about the icp just let me know, and congrats on all the phone interviews! btw if you think waiting for the email, or waiting for the 3 weeks after is hard, just wait til after the face to face interview...IT WILL KILL YOU!

 

Hey vic.
You didnt happen to meet someone called Suzanne Mcneil when you were on the ICP this summer?

Im Leom, i have just started my course at Glasgow Caledonian University studying Microbiology, funfun!!!
I have been to WDW Florida twice, and i cannot wait to go back. I am on this all the time, i will most likely be online from about 7 til 11 at night, so just give a PM if you want to talk or add me on msn.

Good Luck to everyone in their phone interviews, only 3 days until mine.

 

Good Luck to everyone tomorrow - I asked when the exact dates were, and got an email back.
They are: May 26th - August 7th 2009; June 2nd to August 21st 2009; and June 21st to August 28th 2009.
Hmmm - starting to think a 3 week wait might just kill me! It's only been 13 hours!

PS - Congrats Kirsty - knew you'd get one! Good luck with it!

Kristin called me today but I couldn't answer my phone because I was in class. Oh well I'll have to email her now to set up another time. So at least it hasn't been too long a wait for this interview, but of course the wait for the next one could be worse. Thanks to the people who shared the questions with us from your interviews, its always good to have a heads up.

By the way my name is Daniel and I'm from Newfoundland Canada and I'm studying first year engineering. Like most people have said feel free to message me here or on msn I'd love to get to know some of the people I could have an opportunity to spend an awesome summer with.

Cheers

 

My name is Terese i'm from Norway.

I haven't gotten my phone interwiev yet, but i'm waiting nervously for it hehe

I'm not so really good in english so i am really nervous about the questions. What if i don't understand them... ??? ???

Is there anyone from Norway here?

 

Hey terese, no need to worry about your english, just think carefully about what they are saying, that is all i can say to help, it is the same with me and spanish. But you are probably better at English than i am Spanish,lol.

Thanks for the dates Katie, they are good date, i would love to go for the May 26th one but my exams dont finish until the 29th and then the resits start on the 6th and wouldnt return until the 8th probably, hmmmmmmmm. I need to think about it, but i hope not to have to care about resits. I dont even know why im getting myself worked up about this the now. I just need to concentrate on the phone interview!

 

I'm from Easinton Village, so East Durham. Where abouts are you?
I thought about applying to Durham university but decided it was far too close to home ;D

Katie I'm starting to feel the smae. I keep checking my e-mail at every available oppertunity : it's not as if they're going to reply even in the near future but I can't help it!

 

Thank you so much for the answear leomgray i really apreciate it

 

phew, just checked my university term dates and i finish at the latest on the 19th June. guess that means i'll be choosing the later date. are you all planning on travelling after disney if you get in?

 

I'm definitely travellng after!! My mum, sister and brother would come visit during my work time there (they LOOOVE Disney), then after the programme ends I'd fly out to Arizona to meet my Dad (he doesn't live in Arizona, he lives in England with us lol) then we'd go on a road-trip up to Washington State where I have a friend I'd love to go see That's all dependent on my gettin the job of course!

 

that sounds cool. my family would want to come out and visit me but i think some of my friends might come over and travel with me. not sure though. i found something called trek america which looks pretty interesting. if i don't get disney then i'll apply for camp america. does anybody know when you find out whether you're going to america or not? is it after the f2f interview??

 

Wow i'm away sorting out my house and trying to get internet for a couple of days and the forum goes mad lol.

Thanks for posting the questions, i feel a lot more prepared for it. I dont get internet til Thursday!

Better introduce myself. I'm Carla (or Cj, dont mind which), I'm 19 and from Peterborough. Currently thouhg i am at the University of Huddesfield (in the library on the macs atm) studying drama.

My three friends went out last summer and had a ball..apart from the weather which was apparently too hot lol!!!

I have no idea when my results will be, last year they were on the 5th of June so i would probably take the 7th or the 21st to sort out getting my stuff out of the house etc.

 

Aw thanks guys! I love how everyone's so friendly and encouraging on here! I have my interview at 2.30pm tomorrow so am excited but obviously really nervous, although I emailed Lucca my phone number and confirmed the time but they haven't emailed me back - is this normal?

Thanks for posting the dates - that's really useful ;D

Hope everyone gets on ok with their interviews! Good luck guys!

xxxxxxxxxx

 

Well, she didn't email me back after I confirmed, and she still called OK!
I think I probably would travel after dependant on things like resits (which would be during the program!) and visas and uni dates! Oh, and getting the job andh aving money!
Good luck for everyone tomorrow!
xx

 

Phew! That's a relief! Thanks Katie

Good luck everyone!!!

 

Yes, we are friendly people. I did not get any other confirmation after i confirmed the time. Btw see if you have to do resits and you get the results before you go, do you just drop out? I am wondering. and worrying!

Im getting really nervous about my interview, ill need to plan it out to see what i will say if i get asked any questions like the ones use have been asked about what you would do in certain situations.

 

Leomgray - if you hve to resit, and you fail, it willl depend on your uni as to whether or not you have to drop out. Lancaster has an appeal board that you can go to, if they let you stay you may have to change your course. I think you'd have to ask your student registry though!
But the best way to not do resits is to work properly all year, hand in work on time, revise in plenty of time and contact your lecturers if you are unsure about any material so they can explain it again! That's what I did (I also had friends to help me with maths!) and I didn't have to resit any! ALso, as I had module tests my final mark wasn't solely on the exam!
But I'm sure you'll do fine, especially as it will help you achieve your dream!
Also, I planned what I'd say in my interview, but ended up not needing to refer to the notes as I knew it!

Thank you so much! You have helped in my dilemna. I will do anything to make my dream come true. I have a meeting with my academic advisor tomorrow morning so i will speak to her about it then, she was she says. Lets hope she is up for it and can be supportive.
