2015-2016 APPIC Internship Interview Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Oh and it's university of illinois at chicago (UIC) not university of chicago that she heard from.
Oops!! Thanks for the correction. I'll fix it now.

Hi all-

Freaking out about usajobs/ bop website. I have attended three graduate programs (two ma, one PhD). I was able to scan my transcripts into the usajobs site because it allows you to upload multiple pages. However, once I move to the bop part of the process, it will only let me transfer one transcript from the usajobs section and I can't upload the transcripts as one file because it is too big and I'm getting an error message. I contacted HR and they are talking about using the "facsimile" through the website, which I believe is the usajobs transfer (which won't work). Anyone have these issues?

Thanks!
 
For the person who got an interview at MercyFirst, did the person call from a 646-761-XXXX number? I missed a call from a number from Minneola yesterday during a session and I'm worried/hopeful/delusional that it was MercyFirst, but they didn't leave a message!

Hey. I saw your post and sent it to the person who notified me about MercyFirst, just in case they don't see your post. Hopefully they will respond.

Hey. I received word from the person who received the interview from MercyFirst. They indicated that it wasn't from that number. Rather, the call was from Lynbrook at a (516) 284-XXXX phone number. Hope this helps!

Anyone heard from SUNY Upstate regarding their adult track? I noticed invites for both tracks were sent on the same day last year.
 
What is the significance between personalized and mass email invites? My assumption is that if it's mass you're less likely to get an invite at a future time (?)
 
Cohort mate received an email today for a rejection from the Wilmington VA. I don't know if it was mass or personal or if for a specific track, but thought I'd post here, anyway, to let anyone know who might be interested.

Personalized may feel more promising but I don't think it signifies anything other than how a site handles their email sends in the system they've developed over years. You can make yourself crazy trying to read meaning into things like this so it is probably best to practice radical acceptance and mindful distractions of something stress-reducing or useful in getting the dissertation done.

This is a running list of interview notifications and rejections for the 2015-2016 APPIC internship application cycle. It seemed helpful in previous years to utilize the following format when providing information on interview notifications:

-Site name & Match ID number
-Track (if applicable)
-Invite or rejection

-Date notified
-How notified (mass email, personal email, phone)
-Interview date
-What you've done lately to cope with this crazy internship process


* Please note, I've added the match id number to the list of information to include. Another member suggested this in hopes that it would make it easier to identify sites/tracks, since some of them sound similar. Thanks for the help!

-Shout out to @Me2011 for finding the program codes for many of these sites.

I have found it is easiest for me to track on direct messages, so please message me directly (click on my picture and click "start a conversation") and I will post them here.

Alas, I was incorrect, this was University of Chicago (and not UIC) child track after all! I apologize for the misdirection. Interview Jan 15.
Thanks for the update. I've made the changes on the main post to reflect this. Since I haven't gotten word about University of Illinois at Chicago, I've just deleted this site for now.

This process is nerve-wracking. I wish interviews were like match day and you wake up to a list of sites that are offering you an interview.

It is like that north of the border, in Canada: one day where all sites send invites/rejections! I imagine there are just too many sites in the US to make that feasible.

Curious if the UCSD/VA person who got an invite could share which track and/or which sites they applied to -- there are so many options!
Hey! I went back and looked at the email that person sent me. In regards to tracks, this is what they said: "will email in Dec to say what track you're interviewing for. I applied to 3 adult tracks but can't remember what they are." I've added this statement to the main page.

Thanks, did they say if it was a mass or personalized email (or phone)?
 
Any word on how the Brooklyn VA notified people? Mass, personalized, phone call?
 
Mass email. (I guess I accidentally left that out. Sorry about that!)

Huh. That doesn't match their profile in the APPIC directory. "Applicants will be invited by phone for an interview by 12/15/15 and will be asked to choose 1 day to come and interview during the week of 1/08/16-1/14/16".
 
Has anyone who applied to any PTSD or substance use tracks at UCSD heard about an interview yet?

I don't know... I just post what people send me. I also didn't apply to that site, so it's hard for me to know beyond what others send me. I would be happy to send a question to that person directly, if you'd like. Otherwise, I really don't know what to do/say.

No worries, I was just curious. I've heard that some of the directory profiles have outdated or incorrect info and they may have just decided that email would save time. Thanks for all your hard work!

I wasn't the person who posted in this thread, but I was invited to UCSD today and the coordinator said that she prefers to call but was going out of town next week and wanted to get out the invites quickly. So it is a deviation from their norm.

FWIW, I applied to behavioral medicine tracks, and none of my friends who applied to other tracks have been notified yet.

I see that UCSD/VA is already up here. But I wanted to say that I received an interview and I applied to tracks:
112530: VA General Bmed/UCSD Burn Center and Cancer
112536: VA Beh Medicine: Pain and weight control/va behavioral med primary care.

(if that helps anyone!)

So, from your experience (thus far) and/or from last year, how likely is one to receive an interview from a place that is already in this list but that hasn't sent out rejection notifications.

I just want to know if I should pretty much rule out the ones that are on here from whom I haven't heard one way or the other.

Thank you :)

I should also add that I was rejected by Spring Grove Hospital (134911) on 11/9 for having too few assessment hours. I couldn't tell if it was a personal or mass email.
