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.

I also applied to the Child Track and have not heard anything...
 
Cheetah Girl's response earlier gave me a forward thinking idea …. when we get through all of this … and we will … and after match occurs .. and it will…. maybe some form of this super helpful and supportive forum could offer ideas or thoughts for those that may be relocating. Though McGuire VA isn't one of mine - i would know nothing about relocation thoughts to certain areas… so just tossing it out there - teaching myself how to rethink beyond the next 30 minutes:nod:

Best of luck tomorrow everyone… another day
 
12/9 personalized email rejection from Edward Hines, Jr. Hospital (aka Hines VA)

Do you all have suggestions on what to do if a site's notification deadline has past, but you still haven't heard? I know that one person posted on here about having heard from the site, but I haven't heard myself, so it's not like they are just running behind altogether.

my friend emailed someone who is behind and just asked the status of her app
 
Baylor College of Medicine Adult/Adolescent Track (Menninger)! Invite via email 12/9, Dates Jan. 3, 6, 10, 13, 17 & 27. I should note that I applied to both the Menninger and Ben Taub tracks, but was offered an interview only for the Menninger position, if that helps anyone.

Baylor/Ben Taub Track interview. Rank dates: Jan. 3, 6, 10, 13, 17 & 27.
 
Would any SNDers be willing to help out my friend, who is trying to change her interview slot at New York Presbyterian/Cornell? They won't let her change her time unless someone in the morning also asks to change. Her message is below (she doesn't have a login):

Would anyone with an interview scheduled at New York Presbyterian/Cornell on the morning of 1/9 be willing to switch to the afternoon? They scheduled me for 2:15-5pm, but I need to get a flight out that night, and I'm worried about getting to the airport in time. If you'd be willing to switch, could you please email the program administrative assistant to let him know? Thank you!

I know Monty tends to send all the invites on one day, but am I being completely naive in thinking that there is still hope since we haven't yet received an official rejection?

I would LOVE to believe this is the case. My obsessive snooping just now through past SDN year threads, however, seems to point to Monte invites on one day, and rejections a couple days later. Boo to the BOO.

Ugh, I know. Last year I got the rejection on the same day that others got their invites. I know I'm hanging on to nothing here, but I'll give up when the rejection letter arrives. Hopefully I won't wake up to it tomorrow morning. =(
 
Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center personalized email rejection received this afternoon, 12/9/13, for the adult/child track. :bang:

I'm waiting for Trinitas Regional Medical Center to either reject me or give me a shot. I was informed today by someone who underwent this process last year that because Trinitas has given out both rejections and invites, I'm a for-sure rule-out/rejection. What say the other SDNers out there?

This process is like :poke:, but 10 times worse...

What time did you receive this? I'm still waiting to hear back from the Adult and the Adult/Child track...

Does it ever strike anyone as a bit ludicrous that this whole process is as stressful, competitive, and intense as it for *one year* of training? I mean, at least for grad school, you're there for 4-5 years and for post-docs usually two or three.

this x 10000!!

If by ever you mean like almost every minute, then yes. It also strikes me as a tremendous waste of time and money for everyone involved. I mean when you stop to think of all the time that all the applicants put into applying, then the time that all the psychologists at all the sites put into reading applications, then all the time that both parties put into interviewing, traveling for interviews and such ... and if you assigned dollar figures to all that time, I bet that it might just be in the millions, in other words, a total waste.

Ditto on the Trinitas waiting game...lol.
 
How long should we wait to follow-up with an administrative assistant regarding the date of an interview? I keep providing 3 available dates to sites, and I'm beginning to run out of 3
available dates without responses from the first!
 
Quiet day here. Last Monday I got an interview invite, but today, just one rejection. I guess I should still be happy that I got 2 invites on Friday, but I still have 11 sites to hear from!

Still no word on 12 sites...(sigh)

Same here, but 10 sites, is it ridiculous that I just asked my husband to send me a "test" email to make sure my email is working? Never mind, don't answer that, it IS ridiculous!! :nailbiting:

If it were me, I'd be excited to get the email and then disappointed when I remembered it was a test email. 😉

Updated!

Just to let you all know, I'm 99% sure I won't be updating tomorrow, owing to having the first part of my comps at 8 am on Wednesday! Good luck to all as you wait for your sites. 🙂

Good luck on your comps!! Thank you so much for all of the time and energy you put into this. It is *MUCH* appreciated by all of us!!

Sorry to hear about the news for you. I'll post whether or not I get an interview. It's one of my top sites. Rejections suck. I've had 7 now, no interviews. Le sigh.

There is no *hug* smiley, but if there was one I'd be giving it to you. Hang in there, remember you are awesome and it is this process that stinks, and know there are a bunch of total strangers sending good vibes into the universe for you to get good news SOON!
