2013-2014 APPIC (internship) interview thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
My email dings when I have a message, so not the email part. No one else I know is awake/able to talk to me right now. I don't want to text my cohort on the off-chance that they are asleep haha.
 
good morning and good luck all!!

after a few scary dreams of not matching I am wide awake and anxiously anticipating the ding of my e-mail...

Waiting, waiting, waiting...I not only had anxiety dreams for myself, but for a friend who is choosing from their post-doc offers today. Oy!
 
Just received an email. I didn't match. This I upsetting because I thought I had some good interviews. On to phase 2. I always had bad luck 🙁

Im involved in some sort of sick jouissance trance where I am refusing to look at my email. Passing the time listening to the gorgeous new Beck record on NPR music.

'spose the suspense can only last so long. . .

I was up for hours this morning and then fell back asleep at some point around 6 AM. As soon as I woke back up, I opened my email and prepared to get in the right head space while looking for the match email but I forgot I had set a VIP alert so it popped right up immediately and unexpectedly! Luckily, I matched to my first choice! I am going back to my home city after 9 years away across the country! 🙂
 
Hello all! I'm a long time lurker, non-poster, but I wanted to post to say I matched to my #1! This is my second time after not matching last year, so I definitely understand the devastation of not matching. I may write up some things I learned from not matching last year that I'll post up on this forum, but if you did not match and would like some personal tips or support, please feel free to pm me. Congrats to those who matched and to those who didn't, hang in there!
