This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.

It arrived about 5 minutes ago.
- I should mention that I applied to the site in error - meant to apply to GEOcare Treasure Coast.
I spoke with the TD a couple weeks back - she was understanding and kind enough to smooth things over with the TD at the other site for me.
So, she may have put me at the top of the "reject list," as I did not intend to submit an application.

Thanks for letting me know! I thought your name was familiar, I talked to you awhile back on this thread about interviewing at the Treasure Coast one. Good luck on hearing back from the rest of your sites! 🙂

Generic rejection letter - University of Florida Counseling and Wellness Center, 12/9
 
Rejection from Miami University at Oxford Counseling Center.

The blow was softened a bit by the fact that I have a few interviews so far but it still was not a fun e-mail to receive.
 
Has anyone heard from McGuire (Richmond) VA or Memphis VA? I saw Memphis VA sent rejections last week and while I didn't get one of those, I also didn't get an invite.
 
How many sites are you still waiting to hear from? I though I would hear from lots of places today, but only received one rejection. Three interviews so far and hoping for some good news tomorrow.

I think we must be the same person. I am in the exact same situation. Still waiting on 18, ugh. What about you?

I haven't heard from Memphis either, I didn't get a rejection but haven't received an invite. Although at this point Memphis is just added to about the 7 who I have not heard either way from.

For you McGuire VA people, I wish you all luck! The site is located in a sketchy part of town (safe enough, but not as wonderful as other parts of Richmond), but don't let the location turn you off. Everyone needs his/her own car, so no matter what you'll be commuting to the site, but living elsewhere. And it's an affordable city that's growing expotentially.

Richmond, Virginia is awesome and I know it well. Feel free to PM me about the town if you consider the site as one of your higher ranking options.

I am still waiting on 9 sites... 2 of those are likely rejections that I haven't gotten the official message for yet. But that still leaves 7! Had an interview today and the other applicants I talked to indicated they were also waiting on sites. Nice to know this part of things should be mostly over by this week though. Sigh.

9 more that haven't sent out any rejections or invites and 5 "probable" rejections because they extended interviews already....good luck!
 
This has already been said, but I also received a personalized email rejection from the University of Delaware CC. It was a very nice rejection! And I was also expecting it so it wasn't such a terrible blow.

Just sitting over here waiting on 12 sites! It'll certainly be an interesting week 😉

Of my 18 remaining, 1 is a probable rejection, 3 are sites doing rolling (notifications of rejections and interviews have gone out, but not to me) and the rest are radio silence. Not going to be a fun few days...
 
For those of you interviewing at VAs... One of the training directors was kind enough to inform me that some hotels will extend their government rates to interviewing interns. This of course isn't always the case, and you may still be able to get a cheaper price on some websites, but it never hurts to ask.
 
Mass email invite to Emory General & Trauma tracks. Interview dates: Jan 3, 10, 13, 16, 22

I already heard no from them, so hopefully that means you're still in the running!

This forum is so wonderful and supportive. Thanks for letting us know about UC Davis. Keep us updated on the places that are smart enough to extend an interview to such an empathetic person 🙂

I knew on one hand that it might be a stretch for me because I don't have children's hospital experience, but I have a lot of child maltreatment experience, so I was hoping it would work out! I am just trying to trust that it all works out for the best.

+1. I love that, like it makes it better. "We really looked carefully at your materials before deciding you weren't good enough"...um, thanks?

It's better than sites that do phone rejections! "We're just calling to say that your application is subpar, and we're not going to interview you, but we thought it would be really fun to get your hopes up first!" 😉

Wow. That is bad. Or the ones who email rejections with the subject line "X Site Internship Interview" - and then the text is that you're not getting one.
 
Hey all. New to the forum. Wanted to congratulate everyone on all the good news coming in! Has anyone heard from the Montefiore Child/Adolescent Track by any chance? I noticed that the combined specialization seems to have sent out invites already.

Would you mind sharing whether these were emails, phone calls? If email, were they personalized? Congrats btw!
