Rejection from Dallas ISD. 🙁 Subject line was "Dallas Independent School District Interview", so the let down was vast.
 
I almost applied there! That's a bummer. You should get a refund.


Thanks...this is the second site this happened to in my pile...I was not happy the first time. I sent an email to APPIC and they won't refund $$. They said the system they use basically says the monetary transaction doesn't exist after it goes through...what? Makes no sense. They offered to allow me a "free" application if I wanted. Disappointed in APPIC we pay a crap ton of money and they won't refund the money that could help me to get my other interviews....thanks....
 
Thanks! 😀 It does feel good knowing we have a shot. Do you have any more to hear from?
Waiting for rejections from MUSC, and SUNY Upstate (I'm such a sad person these days!) and WVU Charleston but I have no idea if WVU sends out rejections - such a mystery process!
 
Invite to Battle Creek VA

Rejection from West Virginia Medical School - Morgantown
 
Waiting for rejections from MUSC, and SUNY Upstate (I'm such a sad person these days!) and WVU Charleston but I have no idea if WVU sends out rejections - such a mystery process!
Email the TD at WVU Charleston to ask if you are still under consideration. They do not do interviews (they have optional open houses that have no influence on your chances-- and are likely full by now). If you are still interested in the site, and they say you are still under consideration, the TD will likely give you the names of a couple faculty/interns to contact based on your interests. I'm pretty sure they don't contact people out of the blue-- you have to contact them if you want to know the status of your application.
 
Thank you all for the support and the good luck wishes! I think it went well! I am now driving back.

one question has anyone heard from UC Santa Cruz? I will go through what I missed when I get home. Just wanted to check in briefly.

Thanks for this!!! SOOO helpful
 
A string of rejections today. Still waiting on three sites:

LIJ adult
St. Luke's
Friends Hospital

I am happy with my five interviews, but read a disturbing statistic that the average number of interviews for matched applicants was 9 and the average number of interviews for unmatched applicants was four. This seems odd to me since most people match to one of their top three ranked sites.

I vote that ANYTIME someone on this thread quotes a statistic, they cite the source/post a link to it.

Generic email invite to U of North Dakota UCC. Phone Jan 7 &8, in person Jan 6 & 10.
Also Indiana UCC is still sending out invites!

Ahh 🙂 That's my home state! If you're doing an in-person interview, definitely check out Rhombus Guys pizza while you're in Grand Forks. Truly delicious. 😀
 
Down to 3 sites now, thank god its almost over. Heard from today:
Butler consort. -rejection & University of Illinois-Chicago UCC -rejection
University of Michigan UCC generic invite
I have had the exact same turn out (i.e. Same sites and same responses) today!! And I am also waiting on 3 more...we seem to have a lot in common 😉

This whole process is crazy disheartening! It's my second year applying and I thought I might do better this time. I keep telling myself it only takes one. Hang in there!
 
Has anyone heard from Penn State UCC? They said they would send out notifications today but I haven't heard anything yet...
 
I only heard from one site today. My Sunday is going to SUCK.
Also, I'm super disappointed I haven't heard from South Shore. Ugh. I was really hoping to get an interview from that one.
 
Generic (Mass?) Rejection from Ohio State UCC received at 5:44pm EST on 12/13. Thought it was a "good fit". Oh well. Congrats to everyone that got an invitation for this site!!!

Whoops, forgot about WVU Charlestown. I imagine they do but their notification date isn't until January 1. (So psychologically, not counting them!)
 
Generic email rejection from Center for Counseling and Psychological Services at Penn State University. Kinda bummed but it's okay!

I have officially heard from all of my sites! Now to make all these travel plans...
 
Invite from Lovell VA yesterday morning. Interview dates 12/19, 1/10, and 1/13.
 
Has anyone heard from Colorado MH Institute-Pueblo? I haven't seen any posts about this site yet!
 
Has anyone heard anything from:
  • Howard University
  • Gildner
  • Springfield Hospital Center (in Catonsville, MD)
  • Canvas Health
  • Johns Hopkins Univ
  • Hamm Clinic
  • American University

Do you mean Springfield Hospital Center in Sykesville, MD? There is a Spring Grove Hospital Center in Catonsville, MD. Everybody confuses the two hospitals, even people that live here. I am still waiting on Springfield Hospital Center (in Sykesville), but Spring Grove Hospital Center (in Catonsville) sent out their notifications awhile ago (mid November).
