Step 2: Applying to the Program

This part wasn't very difficult as it was the initial step in expressing your interest in the program.  I had begun an application a few years ago and I can tell you that there is a difference between the current and previous application process. From what I remember, the only difference to the previous process is that they have broken down the application process into further steps as you were required to immediately give them all the information that you now post to 'DOC'. Any who, for the new system I recommend that you have your Resume/CV ready and a Cover Letter explaining how you could be a good candidate for the program and why you want to participate. With your cover letter, keep it short and sweet; do not exceed a page!

This process is open for 30 days and doesn't take very long (max 1 hour) as long as you have your Resume and Cover Letter prepared and know some general questions about your University: i.e. when you started, when you graduate, what your major and minors are, etc.  Please note that you can edit the Resume and Cover Letter after you submit your application! So do not stress if you read it after and think what is this gibberish that I just sent to Disney?

Once you have completed this section you'll receive a generic confirmation email basically saying thank you for applying and you'll hear from them soon. After this, you should receive an email within a week explaining you need to upload documents to the secure website known as 'DOC' within 7 days.  The items they will ask you to upload are:
- Proof of Student Status Form (go to your Student Services to fill this form out)
- Scanned image of your Passport/s (this is not mandatory, simply email them explaining you currently do not have a passport)
- Any Prior US Work Visas
- Emergency Contact Address Information
- Visa Appointment Location

The DOC step apparently does not occur for every applicant so please do not worry if you do not receive any information. But if you find you are the only person who hasn't been asked to submit any further information, send the recruitment team an email voicing your concern.
And that is it for the application process! Now you wait...
