So, has anyone APPLIED for the position at Wright Patterson AFB? And has anyone heard from them?
If you didn't go thru a USAF recruiter during phase one, you prob won't.

Yes, however, I spoke with the director previous to submitting my phase 2 application and he claimed that they were going to review the applications and contact those they were interested in interviewing. At that point, applicants would meet with a recruiter and go through the medical screening.FYI, if you look up the site description, there's a link to the brochure that outlines the procedures for applying to USAF (same for every base). It has to start well before phase one even..

Not sure if this actually happened for anyone, but apparently it was possible to apply without being prescreened.

I did this process with Navy a couple of years ago, got accepted for internship and everything. Then, I got a medical DQ when I went through medical screening due to a remote issue. It was pretty devastating to lose the internship!
Take home message, I guess, is to just be careful because the medical screening doesn't always make a lot of sense, and may not come out the way you'd expect.

Anybody heard any news from that Sharp Healthcare site?
Anybody heard any news from that Sharp Healthcare site?
.An intern from CVMH just sent me an email, and said there was a big mistake on their end: all of the applications were sent to the wrong portal, so they only found out about 30 minutes ago that they in fact had applicants for Phase II.
So the good news is - basically, if you meet the requirements for licensure (LMHC) in Washington State, they are trying to schedule phone interviews for Monday, and still trying to get in touch. Good luck, everyone! .

Anyone ever hear anything from Duke?? I expect it's pretty late for anything now, but this is the only site to which I applied that I haven't seen someone say they heard from. Just curious.
This is directly from Dr Murphy:
"Because there is short amount of time before the rankings are due, we may be basing our decision primarily on your cover letter, substance abuse experience, essays, and letters of reference.* I may contact some candidates for points of clarification, but if I do not it is not necessarily a sign that we are not interested, rather it is based on receiving roughly 60 applications for this one position.* I know this is a challenging time for many of us; however, I am glad to have the opportunity to consider so many excellent candidates."
Hi Layleh
Does Sharp Healthcare opened another position for Phase II? I believe all of their 6 positions were filled in Phase I.
Ps. I interviewed there for Phase I, which was great. I didn't match there but I got one of my top choices. If anyone needs tips on how they interview, please PM me.
Rank list submitted, woohoo!
Did anyone have trouble deciding how to rank in this Phase? And did people rank sites where they didn't interview or hear back from? (My answers: no, yes.)
Has anyone heard of someone matching to a site they didn't hear back from?No, yes except for 2 sites that actually e-mailed me to tell me they'd already interviewed people.
I wish match day was Friday. Given how few spots are left, I'm sure it would take less than 3 days to sort through them.
Has anyone heard of someone matching to a site they didn't hear back from?
Given how late some places look at applications and rank (i.e. Sharp), I'm sure that people have matched in the past with sites that they did not interview with in Phase II.
Some sites only do paper review without interviewing. Baptist Memorial Hospital pediatric neuropsychology site in Memphis, Tennessee does not have interviews. Someone has indicated that a number of sites do not select in phase I but engage in a process described as "Cherry Picking" in phase II or after phase II since there are a number of top candidates who do not match in phase I.

Yes, no. I think it was easy ranking the APA-accredited sites (1 definite, 1 potential), but I had a LOT of difficulty ranking sites lower down on my list, because I feel like I am not sure how good a fit I would be there, even after interviewing with them... of course, this is coming from someone who applied to 73 sites in Phase II, extremely fast, to improve my chances. [I have to match this go around, because I could not stomach going through this process another year.]
Anywho... good luck you guys!
I hope match day produces some good results for everyone ranking sites.
73 sites?! Oh my gosh. I really hope you match (even though this system isn't a merit/effort based process), that seems like a ton of effort. How many interviews did you get in Phase II?
[For me, going through it the second time was a lot easier than the first, even though my life was on hold for a year. For anyone who doesn't match this year and decides to apply next year, feel confident that you know the ropes. That made me so much more comfortable in all aspects of the match. I wouldn't have chosen to do it a second time but, in my opinion, the second time was easier than the first... Thus far, same outcome. ]

Is this in response to your inquiring or did they just send it?Sharp just sent an email stating that they had 71 applicants and that I will not be ranked. You may want to check your email. It was a nice personalized email... they are looking for someone with extensive substance abuse experience.
Was yesterday the deadline to rank sites in phase II? When does the Match notice occur for Phase II---Is it this Friday or is there a two week period similar to phase I?
Did anyone hear from or hear anything about Oklahoma Health Consortium?
I recommend contacting sites where you interviewed (the ones you thought were a great fit) and asking for some feedback. I found some of the feedback to be very helpful and some to be less helpful (e.g. pretty generic response about having a lot of good applicants, etc). I will say that one DCT gave me some great insight into some of their challenges and she said some really nice things about my interview. While I didn't end up matching there (obviously), the feedback helped validate that I wasn't a complete failure.
I think I may have asked this a little while ago too, but I'm still not sure of the answer. I know that contacting sites after this is all over will be a great asset for next time around. Is this only limited to sites where we actually interviewed? Since I only had one interview, it would be helpful, but not as helpful as it could be if I had more. How about contacting sites where you were not granted interviews, could you ask what you could do with your application to make it more competitive for their site?
Honestly I am also interested in contacting TDs of sites where I was not granted an interview to see if I was even on their radar or if I never stood a chance because of my school. It will definitely help me for choosing sites next year.
Never heard from them, I don't know anyone else who had either.
