2012 APPIC Internship Application Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Personalized with track interviews (i.e. i got 2 out of the 3 tracks i applied for)
 
LOL that's so odd, I haven't heard anything yet either way. That keeps happening to me. hahaha.

Email rejection this morning from IWK Health Centre



I also haven't heard from them! Our emails must be in cyber space floating about!😛
 
Hi guys, has anyone heard from Manatee Glen Children's Home Consortium? Their interview notification deadline was today and I am starting to worry. :scared: I know it is a small site, but it's a potential internship!!!
 
mass email invite to Battle Creek Michigan VAMC ...sounds like interviews are individually scheduled.
 
I haven't heard anything from this site yet!!!

I haven't either, and I haven't been taking it as a good sign since it has been so long since invitations were extended. Maybe there is still hope, though, since people keep giving examples of why we shouldn't count out a site just because we don't hear about an interview when others do! 😕
 
Does anyone know which tracks were sent interviews on 11/21 for the Georgia Health Sciences University/Charlie Norwood VA?

They have 6 different tracks and I'm just wondering if all of them have received invites...


EDIT - Ok, so I saw one message on the thread that said the Health Behavior - Trauma/PTSD track had been called for interviews...Any others?


I was called for General or Psychology of Women...something. Sorry not to be more specific. Hard to keep track of everything.
 
Just got an interview invitation (personalized email) at the Southeast Louisiana VHCS (new orleans) 🙂
 
Congrats! If I may ask, was it a mass email or personalized? Anyone else hear?

It was a non-personalized email offering 3 dates

but also saying that a telephone interview would "be without prejudice"....I don't know if I believe them but I would really like not to have to pay for another trip and hotel room!

They haven't even started looking @ the apps yet, so don't worry 🙂🙂
 
Mass email invitations from Long Beach VA ".Our interviews will be conducted on the first three Wednesdays and the last Thursday in January during the morning hours (beginning at 8:30 am), with an opportunity to meet with our current class of interns for lunch at noon.".

and from VA Central Western Massachusetts Healthcare System "

  • Wednesday, January 4
  • Friday, January 6
  • Monday, January 9"
  • They don't do phone interviews
 
Has anyone heard from the following sites

UCSF CAS (rejections?)
LSU infant track


Thanks
 
Me too! Resorting to a martini at 2pm lol

I have also recently discovered that a couple sites had later application deadlines posted on their websites than on the directory, and now I am starting to panic that I will not be considered at those sites, having missed the directory (but not the web site) deadlines. Does anyone know if the directory deadlines supersede all others?
 
Rejection, email, with my name - Probably the best "fit" of the sites that I applied to, even better than the site where I'm interviewing

9 rejections (45%), 1 interview (5%), 10 left (50%). Not a good fit for at least 5 of my remaining sites...

I wonder if I'll be the first person to not match two years in a row at my program (I don't know if it happened before... or if it'll happen this time, come on Phase II! 😛 ).

I may also be in your boat! I have 3 rejections, 1 invitation, and 4 left... similar percentages... what follows makes me feel worse...

Richmond vamc email interview offer!!

I felt pretty confident that I would get an interview from them and I have not heard so I am definitely getting queasy in the stomach...

I have not heard back from McGuire (Richmond). Given that today is notification day, I'm thinking it's the inevitable r-word for me.

I really hope this isn't the case...

Has anyone heard from Virginia Treatment Center for Children?

Nope, I am also waiting to hear from this site! Fingers crossed!

Thanks for the info about the interviews
 
Rejection from Penn State Counseling Center - they got 123 applicants, up 25 applications from last year.
 
Just got an interview invitation (personalized email) at the Southeast Louisiana VHCS (new orleans) 🙂

Congrats!!!!! That's one I have been waiting on, so still going to keep my fingers crossed. What were the interview dates if you don't mind sharing?
 
Personalized email rejection from Wichita Collaborative Psychology Internship Program. Last name begins with F. I applied to the Kansas State University track.

With 24 applications, I'm at: 2 interviews, 4 rejections, 15 more to hear from in the next week and 3 more by January 15th :luck:

Does anyone else feel like screaming whenever they see a new email, but it's from APA Continuing Education, etc???
 
Hello all. I haven't had much of a chance to participate in the forum yet (in fact, first post), but I hope it will help me through this process. I'm sure many of the sites I have heard back from are already accounted for, but I thought I'd share my list thus far. I'm feeling pretty low, heard back from 7 and all rejections...

San Jose State University
Portland VAMC
Salt Lake City VAMC
Southern Arizona Psych Internship Consortium
Kaiser San Diego
Denver Behavioral Health
Pacific Psychology Clinic - OR

I feel like I'm starting to see some of my not so wise decisions (academically) from the last three years shooting me in the foot right now...

I heard from SAPIC today. Rejection letter, generic but at least they addressed my by name
 
Just received a mass email invite (i.e., "dear applicant") to the St. Louis VAMC 👍
 
Received a generic (Dear Applicant) rejection e-mail from the University of Chicago Child Psych/Ped Neuropsych track yesterday afternoon and one from Western Psych this morning.
 
Hey guys...keeping my fingers crossed for everyone during this stressful process :/ .. I was awoken by a phone call this morning from a number with the same area code of one site I'm waiting to hear back from and decided to let it go to voicemail as I had morning zombie voice. Turned out to be the cable provider I was associated with and I was THIS close to calling back and canceling my service due to the anxiety they caused me haha ugh!
 
Just received a "Dear Applicant" email invitation from the Central Texas VA. A number of days in January were offered across the 3 sites.
 
Is NUMC nassau university medical center??

FYI: I got an email invite from Pace University Counseling Center on 11/27.

I also applied to Nassau University Medical Center and have not yet heard anything from them.
 
I see some rejections have gone out for the Center for Behavioral Medicine (in Kansas City). Has anyone received an invite yet?

I also applied there and have heard nothing. No invites for that site have gone out yet, to my knowledge! :xf:
 
Montefiore- child/adolescent track interview. Personalized email.

Has anyone heard from Miami Children's? Or Yale adolescent?
 
I feel like I am playing slot machines when I refresh my e-mail. Most of the time I get nothing, some of the time I get a useless e-mail - which excites me to refresh again and again because maybe next time I'll actually have an e-mail that is useful - and very rarely do I get an e-mail that is from a site (jackpot, regardless of the outcome). It gets addicting after a while, yet tiresome. My office at work has florescent lighting and no windows - all I need now is someone to bring me drinks and appetizers and I'll feel like I'm in Vegas 😀
 
Very disappointed that I didn't get any news today - I guess I'll be hearing from all 10 of my remaining sites next week! Somebody from my program told me that last year she received 1/3 of her interview notifications in the last week, including an interview invitation an hour before the deadline. So, I guess there's still hope!

Here's where things stand for me:

1 interview invite:

Pace UCC

3 rejections:

Kings County Hospital Center
Bellevue Hospital
McLean Hospital

1 site closure due to budget cuts!

Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Bronx Psychiatric Center

(Notification of site closure only came after the deadline, and after I spent the time and money on the application. Has anybody else experienced this? This was near the top of my list, although it was a long shot).

10 remaining sites:

Stony Brook UCC
Harvard/Cambridge Hospital
American UCC
Cornerstone Behavioral Health
UNC Chapel Hill CC
Institute of Living
Nassau University Medical Center
Albany Consortium
Pennsylvania Hospital
WVU, Charleston College of Medicine

Given that WVU doesn't do interviews, and I've read on this thread that people have already heard from Nassau, Albany, and Pennsylvania Hospital, it looks like there are really only 6 remaining sites I could be hearing from next week. Does anyone have any word on any of these?
 
Montefiore- child/adolescent track interview. Personalized email.

Has anyone heard from Miami Children's? Or Yale adolescent?
Congratulations on your interview, seems like such a great site 🙂 Also I have not heard from Yale adolescent track yet either. Next week I guess!
 
Don't get your hopes up... some sites may send emails in waves.
 
Generic email rejection from Texas A&M CC within last couple of hours. Ugh. Puts me at 1 interview, 4 rejections, 12 more to hear from. Reeeeeeally hoping there is some truth to the rumor of rejections coming before interviews. 😉

Best of luck to everyone! Here's to hanging on for the next six days! :luck::xf:
 
Personalized email invite (track specific) for Primary Children's Center-- Salt Lake City, UT (pediatric/behavioral health track)
 
Yeah! Interview with Texas Woman's University CC. Personal call from a current intern.
