I applied to University of Florida Health Sciences Center Child/Pediatric Psychology track (120512) and Florida State University Counseling Center (122311). Not sure if those are the sites you're referring to, but I haven't heard anything from either of them.
P.S. I've heard back from 4 sites of 28 I applied to (3 interview invites, 1 "FYI, we won't let anyone know for a while").

I interviewed at this site in Phase 1, as did one other person in my program, and was really impressed. They were very nice and the interns there seemed happy. We were shocked that they didn't fill all their positions (I ended up not ranking it purely because of fit with my interests/career goals, and my cohort member matched at a site that she ranked higher just because it would allow her to live closer to home). If you want to know more, PM me and I'll tell you what I know.

Did anyone else get a call from UAB????? Providing information about the program, but it did not seem to be an interview but rather, they were discussing the internship opportunities. Are these calls just to alternates who don't get interviews?

I'm confused, and I don't want to get my hopes up for nothing...

The good thing is that they indicated "ranking" in the phone call. I'm guessing they might rank you even if you don't interview with them.

I received an invitation for an in person interview on the west coast for next week and I live on the east coast... Has anyone had this happen? I don't think there's a way I can do that but also do not want to turn down a site for this reason..

Most, if not all, of these interviews in this phase are phone and Skype. I would probably clarify with them whether they are expecting you to do an in person interview or phone/Skype interview. I would think the latter considering the small time frame we are given here.
 
Nope, they specified that it is important to do an all day in person interview, in order to ensure an appropriate match :shrug:
