Received an email rejection from Brown (adult bmed). It was a "dear applicant" rejection.
 
Open house invite (mass email) from Western State Hospital.
 
Does anyone know if APPIC reimburses for applications to internships that are discontinued? Considering the ongoing budget cuts across countries, I imagine this situation has come up a few times.


Unfortunately, I don't think they reimburse you...but they should.
 
Congrats 🙂 May I ask which track you applied to?

I applied to the General and Trauma tracks. The email did not specify which track I had received the interview for.
 
My girlfriend just received an interview invite (via phone) from University of Memphis - University Counseling Center. Interviews are Jan 9-13, 17th, phone interview is the 20th.
 
Received an email invite to the University of Arizona neuropsych track. The email itself sounded very generic but it was addressed to me.

I received this email invite as well. Mine was in my junk mail box. Good luck, everyone!
 
Just received an email from Baylor...if you only applied to the Adult track, they will consider you for another if you let them know by Friday. Money not totally wasted, then...
 
Hi all! Received a phone call this morning from James Madison University inviting me for the in-person interview. A member of my cohort also received an interview invite from the University of Delaware counseling center, via email. Good luck to everyone!
 
Baylor College of Medicine is now letting the Ben-Taub applicants choose alternative tracks.
 
Bah! How bad does it mess with your head when someone posts an interview invitation from a site you have also applied to but have heard NOTHING from yet!?! 😱

Anyone else mentally putting those sites in the "no" pile? Seems like the sting will be less bad that way.


Congrats on all the good news today!! I had a busy day at prac with lots of clients, so it was nice to come home and see so many people with exciting news 😀

I *think* that we will get mass rejection emails from them on the dates that they "must decide" by. I think it's safe to assume that no news from UIC or U of C, etc., means bad news. I am told that some sites notify in "waves" - but a professor of mine said that these sorts of sites aren't the ones that do that... So, in my mind, they are in the "no" pile.
 
received a rejection this afternoon from the Univ. of Wisconsin health psych track via personalized e-mail.
 
Received a phone call this morning inviting me to interview at MGH (Child Track). 👍 I think they are calling Adult track people as well. Not sure about neuropsych or CBT tracks.

For those who haven't gotten an interview invite YET: Still several weeks to go! Good luck everyone!
 
Received an interview invitation this evening from Nebraska Internship Consortium (NICPP). The email included an attached letter with my exact interview time and date.
 
Received an email rejection from James Madison University - my first notification and its a rejection. 🙁
 
Children's Memorial in Chicago told me they were going to send out invites today and "regrets" tomorrow: has anyone heard from them? I have not so I'm guessing it's a "no" but wanted to see if anyone got an invite yet....

I'm still waiting to hear from them as well ... fingers crossed.

Ahhh! Congratulations! I applied to the CBT track, so we'll see. Bravo you!
 
anyone hear anything from the clinical-forensic track at UNC? I saw that some rejections went out today for other tracks, so I'm just wondering about this one... :xf:

Are you referring to Mass Gen Hospital??

Anxiously awaiting that one too!! I think it will take a bit longer, given the background stuff they have to sift through.

What track/program, just out of curiosity? Thanks.
 
Interview invite from UMiami Counseling Center this afternoon (phone call from TD).
 
Has anyone heard from Geisinger child track? I saw people post about the adult track but haven't seen any mention of child track yet.

I am waiting on that site as well.....so far I haven't heard anything.
 
Has anyone else not heard back from U of Wisc DOP general track? I know that someone received an e-mail invitation and another person a rejection notice (health psych), but I haven't heard anything yet...

I too applied to the general track U Wisc DOP and I've also not heard anything yet from them...

Hi there, I applied to UW Madison general track, got an email invite last week.
 
hey guys,
what are phone invites typically like (mine have all been email so far)? do they expect you to give them an interview date preference right then and there? or can you call them back? do they want to chat?

I ask because I am going to be off at an interview the day that many sites last year gave notifications.

One of my sites asked me to give an interview date preference right then and there and the second phone call invite had their administrative assistant email me possible interview dates and then I emailed her back my top 2 interview preferences.

I say just don't answer the phone and make sure your voicemail is set-up. We still have lives, school, clients, etc and it's not always possible to get to the phone. They will still give you the interview invitation over the phone/to your voicemail (as happened with one of my friends) and then you'll likely just have to call them back.

I was doing the same thing then got an invite from one today that someone else posted over a week ago. Hang in there. Sometimes no news turns into good news.

This is good to hear! Do you mind my asking which site this is?
 
is all this waiting taking a toll on anyone else??? I feel like someone has stringed my heart up and is yanking it out of my body very slowly!!!!!

I think the waiting is rough for everyone! I like your description of how it feels! I would say that is pretty accurate! I just keep telling myself that we only have a few more months of this! Here's to hoping we all get some good news in the coming weeks!
 
I started yesterday with a rejection from Brown (BMed) but ended with a nice personalized e-mail interview invitation for Adult Psychiatry within the Vanderbilt Consortium. Four dates were available: 12/6, 12/16, 1/9, and 1/19. Just thought I’d share in case someone might find this information useful!
 
Did anyone hear from Appalachian State Counseling Center yesterday? I know that was the date they let people hear last year. Praying to hear some good news today! Anxiety level: 8.5
 
Got a big fat rejection from the Pitt VA via e-mail! 😛
