2012 APPIC Internship Application Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
has anyone heard anything from U of Colorado SOM? also waiting on MUSC, Yale adolescent (both rolling) and Pacific Islands VA...which typically notifies people on the 15th!
 
Personalized email rejection from Western Psych and Counseling Services in Portland, OR tonight at 8:48 pm. I guess you're not safe anytime of day 😎
 
Personalized rejection sent at 330 this afternoon Pacific time.

3 rejection today alone, totals 10 rejections thus far. I am trying hard to balance believing that it may be me, that I am not qualified, or that my school's tarnished reputation may be making an even greater impact than I anticipated 🙁 This is seriously the worst feeling ever.

I doubt if you have made it through your program that it is you... I wonder about my school's reputation as well. Not that we have a bad one but that we just don't have one at all... I haven't heard people say good or bad either way, in fact, last year someone asked me a question on an interview that made me realize how little people know our school. By design, it is really only well known by local sites so it is harder for us who want to place outside of the area I think.
 
It better be good news today... I'm kinda tired of having everyone feel bad for me lol
 
Hoping for good news today.... Did just receive a generic Johns Hopkins CC rejection. And they didn't BCC, so I can see all the rest of the folks who got the same.
Here's to better news to come the rest of the day!

Same here.. It was expected though. I didn't realize that they had forgotten to BCC until I read your post. That is pretty crappy.

3 sites left to hear from, 3 interviews, and 9 rejections. I'm sure the rest of the day will go our way!🙂
 
Rejections this morning from Allegheny Hospital and Franciscan Hospital.
 
Rejection email. Eh. I should care more but... I don't. Perhaps my apathy was apparent in my application 😎
 
Phone invite from CMTP-Boston Med Center.

good luck during these final days everyone 🙂
 
Has anyone heard from UMass besides the initial posting about "local" interviews on 12/19?
 
I received a Dear Applicant rejection email from the Butler Consortium yesterday. Kind of expected it since invites went out last week, but wanted to "report back" anyway.

Here's to good news this week! :xf:
 
Rejection from Institute of Living/Hartford Hospital. Appeared to be a mass e-mail.
 
Does anyone have an interview at South Shore Community Mental Health on the 11th that would like to switch dates with me? I have an interview on the 6th. The TD mentioned that I can only switch if someone requests it or drops out : (

I tried to write you a private message but I am not sure it worked. I might be interested. I sent you my phone number and if you didn't get it, you're welcome to send me yours.
 
I was invited to the VA American Lake open house and I'm wondering if anyone has experience/advice that they would like to share regarding the open house process? I realize it is less formal, but what can I expect?
 
Mass email rejection to Westcoast Children's Clinic 🙁 at 11pm last night!
 
I just received an interview invitation from Umass Worcester by phone for January 19.

Did anyone get the strange two additional e-mails from Johns Hopkins CC? I guess they "revoked" their first message due to forgetting to BCC and then sent out their "sorry we can't offer you an interview" e-mail again. Crazy! Stop rejecting me over and over again. :laugh:
 
Let's hear people's coping strategies for dealing with rejection/anticipation of rejection this week. For me, it's a steady mix of Lego Harry Potter on the Wii, Reddit, coffee, tea, excessive sleeping, bouts of exercise, and gin martinis. Also some serious procrastination in regard to my dissertation. How are you guys dealing?

Aww that's so lame! I think all of us have had our self-esteem beaten up enough already! Sorry about that.

Lots of sleeping too, reading the Game of Thrones series, exercising, happy hours with friends...pretty good mix of healthy and unhealthy ways to cope 🙂

Watching senseless tv while eating chocolate and ignoring my dissertation
 
Got a rejection from the St. Louis VA. Knew it was coming, but it still hurts...I really like that site!

Same here! So, do I count that as 1 rejection, or do I have to count it as 3 and up my rejection total?! 😉
 
We have the same strategy! My chocolate consumption has been ridiculous!

I think I wiped out the entire dark chocolate supply at the drug store. I'm moving on to red wine. I wake up every morning and scramble to check emails at 5 in the morning because I know the east coast sites probably have sent stuff out already...

although I have not received such an email, I empathize - that is just brutal! the only way they should "revoke" their rejection email is if it's followed by an invitation to interview!
 
I just received an interview invitation from Umass Worcester by phone for January 19.

Did you choose 1/19 or did they assign you that date? Just thinking...if the "local"applicant was given 12/19 (the first interview day) and you were called two days before the notification deadline for 1/19 (the last interview day) perhaps if applicants are not invited by phone by the end of today then its a rejection.

This is how I deal, apparently.
 
So, I just sent the following email to the friggin training director at FMC Devens ...

Hello Dr Schoeller:

I am very excited to interview at the FMC in Devens. Friday, January 13th would be the best date for me to interview with you. Please let me know of that day works for you as well. Thank you so much, and I look forward to meeting with you in January!!

Holy typos!!!!!! I typed it quick, then went back to edit it and fix all my stupid phone's autocorrects (which are neverrrrrr correct ... Ugh) and it sent before i could fix the errors. Is it sad that I'm now in full blown panic ????!!!!??? So pissed.
