2012 APPIC Internship Application Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
just got an interview invite from University of Chicago Medical Center adult neuropsych track program! I think it was a mass email, but not 100% sure.

continued best of luck, everyone!
Congrats to both of you! I'm hoping for an invite for the Adult track...has anyone received one or knows of someone who has?

Also, did they mention interview dates?
 
interview dates for the neuro track are all the fridays in january.
 
I received an invite via email (looked like mass bcc) from UAB for the Adult track this afternoon. I also received invites from neuro tracks of Rush and U of Florida week before last but those have been posted. I've been following this thread for months and it's been so helpful - seemed like it was time to chime in!
 
Just received an invite to interview at Casa Pacifica.

Invite was personalized and sent via email.
 
Congrats everyone on the fresh batch of interviews, and we appreciate all postings with updates! Thanks, guys!
 
Just got an invite from Yale :soexcited: It was a phone invite to interview at the Hispanic Clinic.
 
Just received an invite to interview at Casa Pacifica.

Invite was personalized and sent via email.

Just wanted to reassure others interested in interviewing with Casa Pacifica. My personalized email invite came out 11/15, and the applicant above received an interview invite today (11/21). Looks like they're doing rolling admits.

I also have an 11/15 rejection (via personalized email) from Children's Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota.
 
I heard somewhere that most interview invites go out the week after Thanksgiving. Is that true? I'm starting to get really nervous that I have not been contacted by any of my sites (with good or bad news)! Most of them had deadlines of 11/15 or later. Should I be worried? This whole process is so stressful and I feel like I am turning into a basket case!:scared:

I wouldn't worry. I've been told by many that most sites don't send out invites until after December 1st. If I remember correctly, the previous cohort heard about their interviews after Thanksgiving. Stay sane - this is a ridiculous process!
 
Congrats to those who got an interview at Phoenix Childrens! That is a fabulous site!
 
Did anyone apply to the Superior Court of D.C. Child Guidance Clinic? On the directory it said that they require a minimum of 500 assessment hours, which seemed crazy high to me! I applied anyway, even though I have nowhere near that. It was probably a dumb move, but I really liked the training opportunities offered by that site. I'm just curious if anyone knows anything about that site/has applied there, because part of me hopes the assessment hours were a type (not likely, I know).

Thanks! I'm trying to stay sane, but it's really difficult!

I believe a friend of mine got an interview there last year with way less than that...but I've noticed that several sites have increased their minimum hours from last year to this. I don't know if DC is in that category, but I think you may not get immediately rejected if you fit in other ways.

That's helpful, thanks so much! I think I am a GREAT fit (not to be cocky) in terms of my experiences and goals, so I hope they do not automatically reject me due to my assessment hours!
 
I got an interview offer from Phoenix Children's last Thursday via email.

Would you mind saying whether this was a personalized email or a group email? I haven't heard anything. Thanks!
 
Just received a telephone invite for the Missouri Health Sciences Consortium. I applied for the VA track.

I just received an invitation e-mail from Central Arkansas VA (I applied to the Neuropsychology Track).
 
I received an invitation to the Charleston Consortium via personalized email this morning.
 
Interview at MUSC- I applied to the Child Psychology Track. Personalized e-mail as already posted. They are still making offers so if you haven't heard- no news is still good news. 🙂
 
just received an e-mail rejection from the University of Oregon Counseling and Testing Center. The e-mail was personalized (Dear [my name]). That is 2 rejections for me and no interviews yet...starting to freak out :/
 
Received mass invites from Milwaukee VA and UPenn (Pennsylvania Hospital) this morning. UPenn made it clear that they were looking at applicants in batches and doing rolling invitations up to Dec 15.

Hang in there!! Thinking positve thoughts for everyone, including you!!
 
Did anyone apply to sites in Oregon? I have been reading all the replies but have not seen anyone with good or bad news from Oregon. I had to limit myself geographically due to family circumstances so I am anxious about getting any news back. I know it is still early so I have some hope left. I haven't heard any news bad or good either. It would be nice to know someone is patiently awaiting word from this area. Congrats to everyone who has received interview notifications!
 
I received an invitation to the Charleston Consortium via personalized email this morning.

I got one too! Yay!!!

BUT it went to my SPAM folder. It was sent out at 9:31am and I didn't see it until I checked my SPAM folder at 11:45am. So annoying!

So folks waiting to hear from MUSC, check your SPAM folder just in case and good luck!

I just got a personalized email from UCTC stating that my application has moved onto the next stage of review - but that they won't be extending interviews or rejections until the middle of December.

Congratulations!!! What track did you apply to?

I am in the same boat. I have received one interview invite, and I am freaking out. I hate all of this waiting. I am also checking my inbox every chance I get (as well as this forum) - aahhh

Hang in there. Things have a way of working out (... that's what I keep telling myself)! :xf:

Dont stress - many of my friends got 6-10 rejections before getting a bunch of interviews!
 
Has anyone who got a UAB invite (got an adult track one yesterday! )
heard back with their interview time yet?
I replied within 20 min of the email yesterday and have heard nothing.

Not sure if you applied to child sites, but I am not so patiently waiting to hear from Oregon Health & Science Univ and Morrison Child & Family Services. :scared:

I replied within 20 min of the email yesterday and have heard nothing.

Two friends in my program told me that they've received an interview offer and, like you, are waiting to hear back with confirmation on the date.

My guess is the department/secretary is getting a bit slammed (as they only have two interview dates and their self-imposed notification deadline is today, if memory serves), so they're trying to sort through all the responses to figure out who's coming when.
 
I got one too! Yay!!!

BUT it went to my SPAM folder. It was sent out at 9:31am and I didn't see it until I checked my SPAM folder at 11:45am. So annoying!

The same thing happened a few times last year, although I don't remember if it was MUSC/Charlston Consortium specifically or not.

It seemed like a great program when I interviewed last year, though, and they of course have a very solid reputation.
