2013-2014 APPIC (internship) interview thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Has anyone requested a phone interview from Louis Stokes Cleveland VA and received a response? I have a conflict that day (only one interview day!) and I requested a phone interview a week ago, but haven't heard anything.

I'm only waiting on Jesse Brown VA!

P.S. I also haven't received a confirmation from Hines regarding my interview date!
Same situation. Not sure how to proceed.
 
Has anyone received a rejection from Asheville VA yet? I know that offers went out a couple of weeks ago, but haven't seen a rejection go through.
 
I know some people have received invites to interview at the VA Black Hills, was it a mass invite or personalized? Has anyone received a rejection? I am just starting to worry about flight costs and want to book my flights ASAP!

Also, someone was asking about Kaiser LA and I haven't heard anything, their notification date is Dec. 20th though so we may not hear anything for awhile, hope this helps!
 
what do you guys plan to bring with you to all day interviews/open houses? I have two interviews that are from 8-5pm and I'm trying to decide whether or not I should bring my laptop? Any thoughts? 🙂 Probably won't need it? 🙂
 
Still waiting on:

University of Iowa
Purdue
University of Texas at Austin
Oregon State
Indiana University at Bloomington
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

10 more sites- this is so draining. SO DRAINING. I can barely focus on what I need to do because I keep checking and refreshing my email! AHHHH
 
Ok, I'm joining the what sites are you waiting on party:

North Central Bronx
Lenox Hill
QCPC
Beth Israel
Manhattan Psychiatric
Rutgers CAPS
UMDNJ Newark

Plus a couple others that are almost certainly rejections.
 
Personalized email for an interview at Center for Behavioral Medicine (Kansas City, MO), received at 1:34 EST. Interviews will be held in January and applicants are to call to schedule an interview. YAY!! 🙂
 
anyone hear anything from Phoenix Children's Hospital lately? I know both invites and rejections have gone out but still nothing here.

And Mailman Center for Child Development also seems to still be silent?

Same here for Lenox Hill. I couldn't find any past info on how/when they notify :/
 
Heard from institute of living adult track yesterday so there is probably still hope

Were you confused by the email? Did they mean half hour slots? Like we sign up on the half hour, or its just a day-long thing and we sign up for one day? The whole "half hour" times thing threw me off. Also, have you gotten a confirmation? Thanks! (maybe the anxiety is messing with my ability to think clearly here? or is it just that confusing?)
 
Personalized email invitation VA Maine Healthcare Center received 12/11 at 3 p.m. EST. Available dates Friday, December 20 Monday, January 6 Friday, January 10 Monday, January 13 Friday, January 17 Friday, January 24 Monday, January 27

Personalized email invitation Huntington VAMC received 12/12 at 11 a.m. EST. Available dates
Tuesday, 21 January 2014, Friday, 24 January 2014 Monday, 27 January 2014
 
Sorry to hear that. Has anyone on here been extended an interview though? I haven't heard either way yet.
I received a rejection notice for this one, also this morning. Perhaps the delay in your notification means that you will receive good news?
 
My expected rejections are trickling in today: University of Louisville, Boston Children's, and Mt Washington Pediatric Hospital. Only 2 more to go (Oregon HSU & Mailman) before I can stop with the madness.
Was the Boston children's notice individualized or generic? I emailed the administrative contact on Monday but have not heard anything back yet.
 
Has anyone heard recently from UCSD/VA? I know that they made interview invite calls and email rejections over the past week, but I have not heard anything either way. Could I be in a "maybe" pile?
 
A personalized rejection e-mail where the subject line was just "Interview."

Seriously?
lol that's how all mine are- then you get excited and bam.. it's a rejection! SO RUDE. I also got a reminder snail mail letter a week after an email that I was rejected from a place!
 
Generic email invitation to interview at Grand Valley State University Counseling Center. Phone interviews offered through the month of January and the invite was received today (12/12) around 2:00pm. Instructions to call on 12/16 or later to schedule.

Very excited! This was a top choice for me.

I was confused. I am assuming it will be an all day thing bc we are having lunch with the current interns and the half hour slots are for the interview with the staff ? I sent the dates that work for me and haven't heard back yet.

i thought i saw mailman on here like a week ago... not sure if its on the first post of the thread. but i pretty much counted them out 🙁 here's hoping...

Seriously?
That was how I felt earlier this week. I got one with NO subject line, NO body in the email, but an attachment titled "internship rejection letter 2013" - on the plus side, it made me feel super-OK with not going to that site, given their incredible sensitivity and thoughtfully compassionate attitude to applicants. 😛
 
Was the Boston children's notice individualized or generic? I emailed the administrative contact on Monday but have not heard anything back yet.
I actually received two responses. Last night was "Dear applicant:" and this morning "Dear Hopefulpedsgirl:" in response to my inquiry. Because I totally wanted to hear no twice. 😉
 
I interviewed with Utah State and based on my conversation with an intern they have done multiple interviews already. They informed me that they will notify all applicants if they are going to be ranked the third or fourth week of December.

Thanks for the info! I guess that means I'm out of the running. It would be nice if they could mention that to me.
 
I got the same one!

Received generic "dear applicant" rejection from CHOP just now (behavioral health integration track).

Nothing here still! For Phoenix.

Boooo! No thank you. I still haven't heard a peep.

Better than the one from North Bronx healthcare from an administrative assistant with no subject line and no email body with a terse generic attachment titled "2013 rejection letter"
