UCSD/VA invitees: Could you please share your tracks with me as well, so that they can be included on the main list? Thanks and congrats!

I applied for the neuro and VA rehabilitation tracks

I applied to the Neuropsych track and am also waiting to hear. It's not nice when they agreed to deliver the rejection/offer email by 12/3 and nothing happened...

I agree!!!!!

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...

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.

I believe you are right. In past years CHOP held interview invitations until all tracks were ready (on or very near the deadline) and last year made a change so invitations were extended on a track-by-track basis (reflected in last year's various release dates).
 
Woohoo! Interview at UCSD/VA! Received voicemail on 12/4, interviewing on 1/6. I applied to 3 positions...not sure which they're interviewing me for yet, but my rankings were 1) VA Behavioral Medicine: Pain and Weight Control and VA Mood-Sleep Clinic, 2) VA Behavioral Medicine: Spinal Cord Injury and UCSD Pain Clinic, and 3) VA TBI Cognitive Rehabilitation Clinic and VA North County PTSD Clinic.

Yup, lots of pressure to do well on that 1 interview! I'm sure it will all work out. Hope it goes really well on your interview (the first of more to come🙂!

futureappsy2: Thank you so much for running this forum and updating the sites as frequently as you do.

Best of luck to all!
 
This is my first time applying and I am perplexed by students getting offers for interviews or rejections at places I applied and I'm not hearing anything from them at all. Any idea what is going on with this? Is it normal for them to send out acceptances/rejections to some people and nothing to others? Should I be worried by this? I don't get it.

People have spoken of a mythical "maybe" pile or "interview waitlist"... you might be on it at those sites.
 
Interview invite: University of Memphis Counseling Center received 12/4/13 via phone call.
It looks like they are doing invites in waves since some people said they received calls yesterday too.

Got my UCSD/VA invite via voicemail, no confirmation which tracks I'm interviewing for yet but I applied to 1) VA B Med/ Burn & Cancer, 2) UCSD Pain/ VA SCI, 3) VA Pain & Weight/ VA Mood & Sleep
 
Still nothing from Appalachian State University & Texas Tech University Counseling Centers. I think I'm giving up today. Very quiet day for me! Hopefully tomorrow will be a loud one! 🙂
 
I haven't heard from Texas Tech either! Are they supposed to get back to us this week? I think their page says the 15th but could be wrong. Another day and still silence. It's still business hours on the west coast so I'm not giving up tonight quite yet.
 
I don't know if anybody posted this yet but OhioGuidestone sent theirs via personal invite email on Dec 2.

Interviews on Jan 10, 17, 24, 31

I figured they would let us know early since the on-site interview dates are for: 12/13, 1/3, and 1/10.... 12/13 is next week!
 
Interview invite via phone call (voice mail) from University of Massachusetts Medical School/Worcester Recovery Center and Hospital (UMMS/WRCH) today

It would appear we do have some overlap 🙂

Whew! Had to sweat it out for four hours, but ultimately got an interview at UCSD/VA, too! I applied for the Eating Disorder/BMed and Eating Disorder/Outpatient tracks.

I heard from them about an hour ago, but when I talked to the admin assistant a minute ago she sounded very busy with phone calls (though very nice) so I think interviews might still be going out today. Fingers crossed! And BTW- congrats on the awesome interviews you've gotten in the last couple of days!
 
Thank you so much! I applied to different rotations than the people posting on this thread, so here's hoping! Plus I'm sure they're super busy calling people.

Yeah, I got the impression that every time she went to call someone new the phone rang with someone calling back to tell her what dates they wanted!
 
Phoenix VA invite via personalized email. Interviews are 7:30 to 12:30 on Jan 3, and Jan 6-10.
 
Mass rejection email from San Francisco VA. This was one of my top sites, so I'm a little sad but not overly surprised -- they're super competitive.
 
University of Tennessee UCC - Mass rejection
Suffolk University UCC - Mass rejection

Jeez! I didn't realize! You've done your research better than I have. 🙂 At this rate I'd have to take a skype interview, but my adviser says it's always better to go in person if you can. Hopefully they will let me take a later date if they wait much longer to respond!!!

Good luck and congratulations to everyone who has heard!

Congrats! I was really hoping to interview there...Hopefully I'm not out of the running entirely!
 
Haven't heard from Hines either...but they seemed to be sending out the emails late at night so maybe we could still get something! Would be a nice treat before going to bed!
