2012 APPIC Internship Application Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I was just thinking about how I haven't heard from some of the sites that people have gotten interviews from and started to worry. Then, I realized that the deadlines for at least one site mentioned here isn't for another week. Makes me glad that I applied early, even if I haven't heard from them yet. 😛

I've been feeling the same way! I keep telling myself that some of those sites may not have even read my application yet - so maybe there is still hope! 👍

I received a rejection just a few minutes ago from Nationwide Children's Hospital - Pediatric track. It was a mass email with all the other rejectees names/email addresses included... 👎

I received the same rejection e-mail from Nationwide! It seemed odd that they included all of the e-mail addresses.

That's terrible. Truly ridiculous that they wouldn't have BCC'd those.

oh wow, that is awful, just have been a big oversight! I applied to Nationwide but to the clinical child, so hopefully they'll learn from this and send future rejections bbc!

+1 on the awful quotient, yet it happens with multiple programs every year. 👎 Someone needs to instruct these sites on proper email etiquette prior to the start of the internship process each year. 🙄

In the meantime, g'luck to everyone as the interview invites start to roll in! :luck:

That is sooo unprofessional! It must have been an oversight, but I hope someone brings it to their attention.

I received the same rejection. Although I was disappointed to see them fail to use the BCC, the list confirmed the suspicions I had before applying about whether they interview many PsyD or Counseling Psych students anymore. Apparently (at least for that track) they don't. 😛 I'd like to think that my application was at least read through...

I was also rejected from Nationwide (Neuropsych track). Ah well.
 
Ben Taub adult track at Baylor just got cut....2 days after application deadline. What a waste of money. At least decide before the deadline is past. Ugh!

Argh...that's the only track I applied to there...I guess that's a scratch.
 
Me too! It's so frustrating that they'd do that after the deadline and we can't get our money back.

I just spoke with tech support--they said they will not give a credit because the entire site is still available...
 
I just received a rejection via email from FMC Rochester. I knew some acceptances went out around 11/8, so I wasn't all that surprised. Anyway...onward and upward!
 
I just received an interview at UIC Psychiatry (adult track) via e-mail.
 
Was it a mass email or an individual email, if you don't mind my asking, for the UIC adult track?
Thanks

Me too. Somewhat expected, still a bit disappointing. It really gets me wondering what it is they are "looking" for.
 
Nationwide emailed interview offers today for the Pediatric track.

Texas Children's Hospital emailed a notice to say that they received application materials.
 
I've been "lurking" for a while on this feed and find it really helpful that everyone is posting when they hear from sites. I appreciate everyone sharing!

To make my contribution (since I don't see a post about it yet)...I just got an interview at Geisinger Medical Center (they called to offer this am). This was for the adult (BMED) track. Hope this helps someone!

Children's Mercy contacted for interviews today, late.

To the person asking, my interview was to the behavioral medicine track also; not sure if the clinical child contacts have been made.
May I ask, for Children's Mercy, did you receive a phone call or a mass email?

Thanks!
 
Hi guys,

Got an email inviting me for an interview to the BIDMC/Mass Mental Health Center this morning.

Congrats to us all for getting through the app process...!

Congrats! Would you mind telling me what track(s) you applied for?
 
I received just a few hours ago an individual invitation to interview at the University of Arkansas Med School for the Adult-Focused Track 🙂.
 
Hi everyone! Long time reader, but this is my first post -- sad to say that it's a rejection. Just got a form email from Rush (Behavioral Medicine track) a few minutes ago.
 
Does anyone know if the UIC adult track was a Mass email or an Individually-sent email?
Thanks

Since you have asked twice and no one has replied yet, I'll chime in. The child track invitation came as a mass e-mail; not sure how adult track offers were sent, but likely to follow same format, I would think.

I heard from someone in my program that they received an individual e-mail.
 
Rejected from Utah State Hospital via email. 🙁
 
Also got a rejection from Rush Adult Behavioral Medicine. Was definitely hoping for an interview here. Do you know if they've called to offer interviews or just sent out the rejection? I have a few friends who applied here too.
 
Just got an interview invitation by email for Utah State Hospital offering interview dates of December 12, 13, or 14.
 
I'm new here! Has anyone heard of people getting interviews/rejections from VAs? This is all so nerve-wracking! 😕
 
Ah still trying to figure out this board!

It was a mass e-mail ("Dear Colleague").
 
Got an interview offer at Rush - BMed track. It was a mass email to all invited applicants.
Congrats to those who have gotten interviews 🙂 Fingers crossed :xf:for everyone!

Welcome ndcm! I applied to mostly VAs, and all over the country, so no specific region. I haven't heard a peep! Here's hoping for some VA interviews for both of us :luck:

Thanks for your response! I wonder if VAs are typically later than other sites? I know my friends who got word from VAs last year had a lot close to December 15th! I definitely hope we both get some (or a lot...) 😉.
 
I received an interview at Kings County Hospital Child Track (personal email).
 
That helps me feel better! I feel like the only person who has heard nothing...no invites or rejections yet. I'm hoping that's a good sign...or at least not a bad one.

You're definitely not the only one. I haven't heard anything either.
 
Ben Taub adult track at Baylor just got cut....2 days after application deadline. What a waste of money. At least decide before the deadline is past. Ugh!

There was a recent staff change at Ben Taub that necessitated that move. I understand how you feel, but it was just very recently decided, for what it is worth.

I have only heard of one person in my program having an interview, and only one of them! So I think its normal right now... at least thats what I am telling myself! 😀

P.S. I really love the positive vibes and supportiveness of this forum!

Yeah - I went through the match last year, as well. I only heard from one site before Thanksgiving - same for the rest of my cohort. All the rest notified in December, so don't worry! You'll start hearing in a couple weeks.
