Mass reject Email
Did it indicate a specific track? Did you apply for a specific track? I and everyone else I know are waiting to hear from them.
Email rejections from:
Valley Mental Health (Personalized Email, 12 pm)
Boise VAMC (Email, 12:11 pm, considering they got my application yesterday they likely threw mine out because of my school)
USC Counseling Center (Email, 12:19 pm)
I am thinking I am just about giving up on my chances of scoring any interviews.
Score so far: 22 apps, 13 rejections, 0 inteviews
The assistant left me a voicemail and only gave me January 19 and as an option. I called her back but haven't been able to speak with her yet, but as of now that's the only date I was offered.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.
Hi Gib85rem - I am also anxiously waiting on Tulane! I just wanna know already! Good luck.Has anyone heard anything about Tulane SOM? Behavioral Medicine track?
For what it's worth, last year Coatesville VA interview notifications went out on 12/15Anyone hear from Coatesville VA?
Have all the invites for DC VA gone out already? Anyone receive a rejection?Does anyone have Dr. Christine Brown of the Washington DC VA's number? She called me but I wrote down the wrong number. I think this means I fail the interview already!
One of my friends found an interview invite to MUSC in her spam folder, which prompted me to go frantically digging through my own spam folder...but to no avail.
Now I'm not only obsessively refreshing my email inbox and this thread, but also my spam folder. The 15th can't get here fast enough!
I also received the invite -- I had mentioned in my cover letter that my primary interest was in Pediatric Psychology, but the e-mail invite didn't mention anything about that.
Good luck!
I'm also interested in the answer to this. Also, there seemed to be some question about whether they would even send out notifications to let us know whether or not we're still under consideration?
Just received an email inivtation for Tewksbury! So excited! They are offering full day interviews each Thursday throughout January (5th, 12th, 19th, and 26th). Interviews are being scheduled on a first-come, first-serve basis. 🙂
I would say it depends on which site you want more...Hey everyone, I need some advice! I received an email invitation from a site yesterday indicating I could choose from 4 days in January to interview. I only had one of the days available because I have interviews scheduled on the other 3, so I asked for the 4th day. However, they told me it was taken. I tried to reschedule one of my other interviews so I could attend the site that invited me yesterday, but they said changing dates was not an option at this point. They asked me if I wanted a phone interview instead, which is an option that they gave me when they first invited me. I'm curious what other people would do. Would you take the phone interview so you could interview at one more site, or would you just keep things the way they were and not schedule at the new site?
Was it personalized? I really thought I would get an interview there. Bummer.
I heard from a past applicant that they never contacted her and then emailed her when she missed it. She said they were a "hot mess." I sent Dr. Goldberg an email yesterday asking about the status of my internship...I'd like to think a simple email as the power for him to send us emails relatively soon 🙂
I would try looking at the site information on APPIC - if you can't find it there, call the number listed and ask to be directed to her... I didn't apply there so can't give you anything better, sorry!Does anyone have Dr. Christine Brown of the Washington DC VA's number? She called me but I wrote down the wrong number. I think this means I fail the interview already!
McGuire VA rejection email went out.

Rejection from SUNY Buffalo's counseling center. . . I'm really starting to think that I'm not going to be hearing any more positive news.

I love a good gin martini. I've decided I hate vermouth, but I've experimented quite a bit with different types of brine and olives. I've decided I like putting the classic green olives in the shaker with the gin and kinda letting them get pummeled by the ice. Gives the drink a more genuine olive flavor, I find.
Interview invitation to the San Francisco VA by phone today.
In a word, YES. I haven't been this depressed in a while. I'm almost non-functional. I usually love my job, but I've been dreading having to go to work lately and checking my email constantly. I wake up around 4am every morning, worrying about what I'll do if I don't get any interviews (I still don't have one). I can't motivate myself to put together the IRB form for my dissertation. I keep thinking, "If I don't get any interviews and can't go on internship, what's the point?"
Congrats! Boca is beautiful... I knew a classmate of mine that did her practicum there - she said she received an awesome experience and learned a lot. good luck!Received phone invite... offered several dates/times throughout Jan.

I am definitely non-functional. As with you, I have not been this depressed in a long time. I feel spacey - so spacey that I am afraid to drive. I have zero focus. I am the lowest performer in my cohort, so I have zero desire to even interact with my closest friends at school socially. I just can't tolerate hearing about how they have 7+ interviews. I am hopeless and despondent. Every time I get a rejection email, I spend ten minutes crying. In fact, February 24th - the date - now sends me into a panic. I have always prided myself in handling extreme and even chronic stress well. Not any longer. I have reached a level of helplessness that I honestly don't think I have ever felt before... :cry:
You know, I have not had any issue with any of the rejection emails that I've gotten until this one. On the APPIC site it said that Friday the 9th was the latest date we could expect to hear from this site, yet I didn't get my rejection email until Monday evening, after email the training direction about WTF was going on.
It doesn't exactly reflect well on your site when you can't get your **** together to respond to applicants, but what is the consequence for this site? I checked and this is part of the policy for being an APPIC member. Will this endanger their APPIC membership?
Also: Hi to everyone! I've been lurking for a while and this is my first post.
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?
Sex and the City, How I Met Your Mother, running, chai tea, and tonight is my bday so I'm going to my favorite tavern with friends 😀
I also engaged in some retail therapy yesterday at Bed Bath and Beyond. How can anyone not be happy after getting DKNY throw pillows for 9.99 each that were originally 48.99 each???
