Congrats LChow!!! Keeping my cell phone close
Just got a call from Missouri Health Sciences consortium (VA + med school) for an interview.
EEK!! Although their ONE interview day policy is ridiculous and if the offer me an interview (I'm actually not expecting one) I already have an interview for that day. So unless they are flexible at all I'll have to say no.

I am so happy I found this site because no one in my program will talk about their interviews, but mad at myself too because now I'm going to obsessively check it!
I want to add one more child-focused site to the list of those who offered interviews already, as I heard from them: Stanford -- Lucille Packard Children's Hospital/CHC
Still waiting on 12 out of 16 sites. I can see from the posts that a few of them have already made offers.
Glad to take part in the hysteria!

I thought I received my first notification via email this morning, as I saw an email from Purdue University CAPS in my inbox. I took a deep breath, and clicked to open the email. Just a notification that my application is complete. 
I figured it wasn't going to be that since I submitted my application almost a month ago now. Ah well.
Still waiting to hear from all 17 of my sites. But hey, at least that means I haven't been rejected yet, right? 👍

@ThisIsCrazy, we overlap on about 8 sites so I look out for your posts. Best of luck!!! There are only a handful of peds ppl on here.

I was wondering if any counseling center people were hearing anything. All quiet here except for the two I have heard from (Vanderbilt and James Madison). Still waiting on 20. I have a feeling we may have to wait until December to really stat hearing but who knows maybe we will get a surprise or two.

I had the same thing with Texas Childrens Hospital - you put a good spin on it!
Nice to have another peds person around! (Unless we have to have a showdown...
j/k)Have you heard from anywhere?
for those of u who heard from columbia, was it adult or child track?
Just got an interview offer from MUSC (adult neuro track). Was the first one I'd heard from in a week; had begun to think the sites had forgotten about me. 🙂

are the MUSC invites by email or phone?
btw, I got a call with an invite offer from Medical College of Georgia today👍
I hate it when I see a site has offered interviews, but in a different track. For example, I applied to Duke (adult) and MUSC (addictions). Interview offers for Duke (child) and MUSC (NP) have gone out, which makes me wonder if interviews for all tracks went out or just these tracks. I guess, no news is better than a rejection... unless it's a late rejection.
Yeah, the west coast sites are being slow... but maybe they always are? 12 of my 23 sites are west coast, and I haven't heard a peep from any. Last year I applied to ALL west coast sites, and I didn't hear anything until 12/1 at the earliest. Of course, this sample is just based on my own sites, but it seems to be accurate with the lack of hearing anything this year... so west coast peeps, we might be in for another week (at least!) of waiting... I also havent heard from my east coast or midwest sites, so I also think it is just still early.
On a totally separate note, does anyone know who heard from St. Lukes and when? I see it on the big list but couldn't find it in the thread... I applied there, adult track, so just curious when they started offering and what means they use...
A friend of mine got 2 calls this morning offering in-person interviews... one was to the Medical College of Georgia/Charlie Norwood VAMC... the other was to Missouri Health Sciences Psychology Consortium.
Just got an interview invite (via email) to the Cincinnati VA PTSD track.

I just received an interview invitation by email from Baylor University for the Gerontology track.
Depending on the type of assessment case, that probably isn't too bad. I love assessment and would rather memorize the phone book than do therapy, so I guess we all have our preferences. 😀
Hang in there dear!
Hahaha once all this is over and I'm licensed and junk I'll send you my assessment cases and you can send me your therapy clients 😉
I haven't checked my application materials to be absolutely certain, but I believe you're correct--from what I remember, there were two separate "campuses" (or the equivalent), and you could apply to one, the other, or both. I think both had neuro-specific rotations and experiences available, but in different settings.
Edit: Also, Emory invites (neuropsych) have begun coming out.
Yeah, we tend to have a slightly-skewed perspective--when you're used to doing two to three neuro assessments per week, one every other week doesn't seem too horrible. But we also tend to have the "one and done" modality much of the time.
Those assessments, when coupled with 5-10 therapy cases, could definitely make for a very busy schedule.
Pretty sure Duke doesn't send all of theirs all at once. Had friends who applied last year.
I applied to the child track at Duke and I haven't heard anything yet either. Actually, I haven't heard from any of my sites yet. I'm trying to adopt the "no news is good news" attitude.
Yeah... I've been told by the people who review apps for the internships at my university and my DCT not to expect much one way or the other before Dec. 1 for most sites.

I hope so! 😳 I saw on the thread from last year that someone got an interview invite on the day before Thanksgiving to a site I'm applying to! Granted it's a large site with many tracks, but I can hope...right???
So far I have 1 interview, 1 site withdrew from the match, and no rejections (yet) - waiting on 15. I would *love* to have one more interview before Thanksgiving! Good luck tomorrow everyone!
I'll be anxious enough on the long drive to my parents' house for thanksgiving and not being able to check my email.
I've become like Pavlov's dogs when I hear the whoosh sound of the iPhone's email app signaling a new mail
