generic rejection north florida/south georgia va

 

[Rorshocked]

All this silence is killing me...haven't heard anything since last Wednesday! I saw that Memphis VA apparently sent out rejections and I didn't get one, so I guess that's something! Has anyone received an invite from them?

At the airport heading to my first interview! Ahhh!

 

[minichamp]

personalized and perhaps the nicest rejection letter ever from university of minnesota medical school.

 

[FionaGoode]

I haven't heard anything from Memphis either. Just waiting..for..an email... ding..


EDIT: I just breathed with a whistle (have had a terrible cold for 2 weeks!) and had to double check that it wasn't my email making that noise..... ::losing it::

Also, I asked which track(s) I am interviewing for, and she told me one of them for sure but said there could potentially be others (I applied for 3, and there are 19 total). But -- importantly -- she mentioned that some of the tracks are still getting back to her with some of the names. So don't stress until you receive a rejection email.

Me neither. Maybe they are doing invites by phone or by private email?

 

[grenas]

I'm waiting on them too. At least none of us have heard anything yet! I'm hoping it'll be soon since they notified people around this time last year.

I am waiting too....this is not healthy! I hope we hear soon!

 

[IDDPhD]

Personalized email for interview yesterday (12/3) from Kaiser Fresno, they sent as second personalized email with 28 interview times to rank today.

 

[butmewait]

Wondering if CHOP referenced specific tracks or did the interview apply to all?

 

[Wise Mind]

Mass email rejection from Salt Lake City VA, received just now.

Same here. I'm actually really sad about this. I really liked that site. =(

 

[***]

Wondering if CHOP referenced specific tracks or did the interview apply to all?

It was a general email with no mention of which tracks I will be interviewing for... I think it was sent out to everyone since it mentioned a reminder to those applying for the ASD track that they would have to complete a post-doc at CHOP and I definitely did not apply for that track.

 

[butmewait]

OK, thanks for that information ***. Sounds like a no for me but it's such a competitive site I can't feel too bad about it!

 

[DenWendt]

Busy day! Three notifications in the last hour.

The latest: Mass invitation from Southwest Consortium (Albuquerque). Open houses for Jan. 8 and 15.

In last year's thread, it looks like CHOP sent out mass invites on three separate dates (11/30, 12/7, 12/10). Who knows if they corresponded to tracks or just whatever batch of the applications they'd gotten through at that point. FWIW, I applied to the child clinical track at CHOP and haven't heard anything yet.

 

[cara susanna]

Looks like Southwest is out for me, then 🙁

To the people who got UCSD/VA invites: Congrats! Can you please PM me the track?

Yes, I have definitely been told not to not count yourself out yet just because you haven't received an invite... As long as you haven't received a rejection, you are still in the running...

I saw that someone received a mass rejection e-mail from them. I have my fingers crossed as I wait impatiently.

No I have not heard anything from this site...

Did anyone hear from Beth Israel / Mass Mental Health Center? Their notification date was yesterday.

Interview invite sent on 11/19 for general track

 

[AttachmentGal]

I thought I was really going to start hearing from places this week, but it's so quiet. It's snowing and so cold, and my clients are canceling, and I just keep obsessing on this thread.

[SmithPsy24]

What did it say that made it so nice?

Nothing new, the usual stuff about having a large number of qualified applicants and only a few spots. I just found it reassuring that they basically said that even if we're not a fit for them, we're probably a fit for another site. The tone was just quite sincere and pleasant.

(possibly because I am mentally comparing them to Geisinger, which I just found cold and awkward.)

Congrats! BTW: Is that a cockapoo in your photo?

I applied to the PREP track at BID/MMHC and am waiting to hear.

Thanks! Nope, it's my goldendoodle when he was a really young pup 🙂
