2013-2014 APPIC (internship) interview thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
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!

It's been pretty quiet for me also, try to forget about it and focus on your 1st interview!!! GOOD LUCK! 😀
 
Invitation via phone to UCSD / VA: Jan 6-10. Was given my choice and it was confirmed immediately (Jan 10). Just barely got off the phone with.

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.

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

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.

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...

Tewksbury Hospital (near Boston, MA) interview invite. Personalized. Offered dates: 1/9, 16, 23, 30. Neuro track. Email came in at 1:15pm PST.
 
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.)
