The "Disney Way" - How do I get an IMAP?

Well, I have been asked several times, how did you get your international MAP.
So here is how it works (as long as the MAP office doesn't change the rules)

MAP office Rules:

1. You need to select 10 projects and rank them.
2. 3 of them have to be domestic (can be more than 3 if you want).
3. At least 1 of the domestic projects has to be in your top 5.

So what can you do to assure getting an international project, first I will say couple things:

1. MAP is not an easy experience, so try to focus on selecting a project that you are very interested in or at least in the industry (or non profit if this is the case)
2. MAP is a great opportunity to network with a potential employer and maybe even receive an internship offer, so keep that in mind.
3. MAP is a great opportunity to get out of your comfort zone and select a project in a totally new industry. One you might be interested in in the future.
   
4. Last but not least: The "Disney Way" that I will describe here is a rumor....rumor that I think has at least 95% to work, but I am not sure if it was even tested ;-)
   

The "Disney Way":
Note: it will only work if the MAP office doesn't change the rules

1. Select 7 international projects that you really want and place them in places:
   1,2,3,4,6,7,8
2. Select the most attractive 3 domestic projects from the projects list, for example:
   Walt Disney Project, hence the name.
   Now: a project with a huge company doesn't necessarily means it is attractive, try to think what interests student in your class as a whole and not you specifically.
   
3. Rank the most attractive one in place 5 and the other two in 9 and 10.

That's it, keep in mind that if you decide to go the "Disney Way" there is a small chance you will end up in Disney :-)
