Waitlisting...

I know just how you feel Stacie. Don't u just wanna ... the people who got their dates already. Jordan I never thought I'd say this but I think you may actually be more obsessed with Disney than me. I didn't think it was possible.

 

Lol I dunno if it is possilbe, but nice to hear you say that anyway!

 

I got a call today to ask if I wanted to be bumped up on a waiting list and start the program April 19th ... unfortunately it was my waiting list for a Paramedic training program. Grr ... wrong program. I said no and asked them to put me back on the waiting list. If I knew I had 6 months before I'd have to start Disney I would've taken it. Grr to more waiting.

 

geez lol I thought you were saying you were being bumped up of this waiting list for a second lol I know what you mean though, for me it's going to be a year of temping/subbing rather than teaching so I can keep it open for Disney.

 

ok i had my hopes up thinking that it's ok novody seems to be going in dec or nov. Then I read another post and some guy is going in dec. Damn it. I am trying to stay open minded but I mean really he's 17 and I am 23.

 

Yup I'm now 22, and theres a few people with Dec dates... I'm really thinking we're just sitting back and waiting for people to quit/get termed...

 

I honestly wish they would've said no rather than the waiting. If i was told we are def gonna find u a position i would feel much better. BTW I knew it was homer in ur other post.

 

You'd rather a no? Dont say such silly things ... waiting sucks ... but atleast I'll make it there one day. *laugh*

Remember chances are they'll have dates for us soon, they just have to cover their butts and tell us it could be awhile. Snow White gives me hope.

 

it's true she does give us hope. But the first time I applied got a no was pissed for awhile but was able to move on get myself and my life together and reapply as couple yrs later. Believe me I want this so much. I just really hate waiting and don't want to be put on a "wait list" which is actually a reject list that's all. If we aren't going just tell us flat out is all I am saying.

 

I'm almost 100% sure that you need to be 18 to participate on the program...

But then, I'm an idiot... and I'm probably wrong :-\
KC

 

Yeah you have to be 18.He will probably be 18 by Decemeber though.23 is an average age for the program though,no worries. ;D

 

well that was what a guy posted on another thread. he says he is 17. maybe he will be 18 by the time he leaves.

 

glenpreece last time you applied for this did they actually phone you and say "sorry you were unsucessful" or did they say the same thing they are now "you just dont have a start date yet"??

 

GREAT question, I wanna know that as well!

 

Now, this might be UK but I'm sure the rules and what happens are too different. My friend Jilly, who I really wanted to get in recieved an e-mail stating she was "unsuccessful" so no, I don't believe that they just leave you "hanging" without a definate response.

 

Thats true, but I was talking to someone else from the UK who dons't think they have a waiting list... so far I have yet to hear from anyone from Canada (this round) who hasn't at least gotten to the wait list.

 

There have been a few from this recent round of interviews that have made it but not many. Tessa and I are guessing that they've just been so busy that to wade through the applicants, it was easier to put the majority on the waiting list to that they'd have time to sort through them and then gradually start calling people. Hopefully, it'll go quite quickly. But don't go by what I'm saying, I could be totally wrong.
All I know is that if they tell you that you're successful and that you just don't have a start date, they're right and that it's not a way of just ''letting you down easy''.

 

Well I gotta keep positive and keep thinking that then I suppose eh?

 

Go Team Go!

 

I think your right Snow ... they wouldn't tell us we were "successfull" if they didn't plan on casting us eventually, they'd say they haven't reached a decision yet ... I think they would've made it clear that it could go either way ... otherwise that's just mean, can you imagine how crushing that would be? That would be worse than hearing a "no" right off the bat.

Don't let the waiting cloud your head with negative thinking ... we're going.
