2013-2014 APPIC (internship) interview thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Still waiting to hear from five sites. This is not good for my central nervous system.

15. Seriously. 15. Of which only 4 have done any kind of notification and only one hasn't sent rejections. I may go a little crazy if I don't hear from a good chunk in the next day or 2. Only 2 sites to go with later than 12/16 notification deadline, at least...
 
Is anyone else still waiting on a probable rejection from the Atlanta VA? I saw that their notification went out earlier this week. They are the last of the 15 VAs I am waiting to hear back from. I'm definitely looking forward the the end of compulsive email checking!
 
Two pubs is definitely on the light end for AMCs, even with an F31. Like many things it doesn't mean its impossible, but we're working with probabilities here.

I think a lot of it is networking too. Even if not personal, many of the AMCs seem to "know" the labs that produce solid academics so its important to get a sense from your mentor or former students about where they typically get interviews. My CV is pretty strong, but who knows how I would be doing if my mentors were not known at most of the sites I applied to.
 
Started my day with a personalized rejection from Georgia Tech Univ Counseling Center. 🙁 Good luck everyone!
 
I haven't heard anything from wright state or child and adolescent either. The child and adolescent one is particularly frustrating because even though I feel like I will probably not receive an interview, I wish they would at least send me a rejection notification so I don't keep getting my hopes up.
 
Personalized email invitation from Lehigh University UCC at 10:53am. Skype and in-person interviews 12/17-12/19 and 1/6-1/9.

This process is so tiring. Good luck to everyone as we make it through the rest of today and tomorrow.
 
Official rejections from (non-personalized) Vanderbilt and (personalized) Edith Nourse/Bedford VA neuro tracks within 5 minutes of each other. Knew vandy was out, but I just needed the official word!

Yep
 
I just received a personalized rejection from Bexar County Juvenile Probation Department. This one came as a surprise, since it was a perfect fit. The selection process is so confusing!
 
U of Missouri -- Kansas City UCC, generic invite received 10:45EST. Says they will contact soon via phone or email with interview dates.

I feel like you and I have a lot of overlap with the sites that we have applied to!
 
Just received a rejection from GeoCare/South Florida State Hospital.
 
It was a generic Dear Applicant email.

Thank you for letting me know. Just getting antsy as I haven't heard anything from them (or 8 other sites)! Sending out good vibes to you that your next notification is an interview (assuming you are still waiting to hear from sites!) 🙂
 
still nothing from u of Minnesota counseling center?
 
My expected rejections are trickling in today: University of Louisville, Boston Children's, and Mt Washington Pediatric Hospital. Only 2 more to go (Oregon HSU & Mailman) before I can stop with the madness.
 
I've been lurking on here a few days now, but yet to post an update. So I'm still waiting to hear from SEVEN sites and the deadline is fast approaching!!!! Anyone hear anything about these?!

has anyone heard any rejections/interviews from San Francisco VA recently? I know some rejections & invites went out last week and though I'm thinking this site might be a long shot for me, the continued silence is intriguing!

Still waiting on Bronx VA. Haven't heard from kings but gave up hope bc they sent out invites before their application deadline.

The child and adolescent one is particularly frustrating because even though I feel like I will probably not receive an interview, I wish they would at least send me a rejection notification so I don't keep getting my hopes up.
I'm really annoyed bc Child & Adolescent in Canton was supposed to be one of my "safety" sites (whatever that means anymore anyway!), and then today they emailed me and said I was an interview "alternate." When I asked what that means, they said that if anyone decides to cancel at ANY TIME, I would need to make myself available for whatever time is open! That just seems really ridiculous considering a) the cost b) the inconvenience c) I live in Denver, CO so it's not like it's exactly next door! I definitely don't feel that wanted right now, but at the same time, I still only have 3 interviews (well I guess 3.5 now?!), so I guess if it does come open, sadly I will probably take it. *Sigh!*

I know Kings does rolling invites, so don't count yourself out! I know they are planning to do invites through mid-January so they are likely planning to make interview offers through the end of December.

I got this email as well. How many alternates do you think they have?
 
Nothing so far from:

University of Idaho
Indiana University
Kansas State University
University of Kansas
University of Minnesota
Utah State University
University of Washington
University of North Dakota
Temple University

I interviewed with Utah State and based on my conversation with an intern they have done multiple interviews already. They informed me that they will notify all applicants if they are going to be ranked the third or fourth week of December.
 
Well I just received a very thoughtful personalized rejection email with attachment from King's County Hospital. good luck to all!

That does seem ridiculous. I can see why you designated them as a "safety site," it sounds like your instincts were correct! "I guess 3.5 now?!" made me giggle. Sending you positive vibes that you will get interviews from the sites you are waiting on, so that you don't feel as much pressure to drop everything and go to an interview there at the last minute!
