it’s good of them to at least update applicants.

This made my life difficult last year, as I was focusing on Phila, Boston, NYC, and a couple other east coast sites. Hence, I am in the northern mid-west for the year 🙂
 
Has anyone heard from the Center for Neurological and Neurodevelopmental Health in NJ yet? Their notification date is today, but I wonder if that would be extended since the director extended the application due date...

While I'm not in Neuro, I have some info about this site being fantastic. PM me if you want more info.
 
I agree that it is about networking at CA sites. I think the only reason I got an interview at one of my sites is because I worked there previously.

Meh, not true. I had about 4 interviews in CA and I have never networked here. Heck, my first time in Cali was for an interview.
 
Open House invite to VA Puget Sound, American Lake for January 8th. Can't make it! Arg!!
 
I don't like the fact that I have to wait till 12/20 for two sites that I am waiting on! I just want this part of the process to be over! Happy Sunday everyone!

Yes, I applied to mostly NYC, Boston, and Philadelphia. Six interviews now and hoping for the best.
 
Has anyone heard from University Behavioral Health Care- Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey ?
 
Anyone hear from CBT track at Institute of Living? Still no word yet from McLean either...
 
Mass "dear applicant" email rejection from LIJ adult track
 
Anyone still waiting on LIJ child track?

Edit: Just got the rejection. Hello, Sunday!

From what I know, McLean has already sent out invites and rejections. Perhaps you should email the DCT and follow up on your application just to make sure nothing fell through the cracks. Their notification date was 12/11.

Thanks! I emailed them on Thursday but they said they decided to extend their deadline until the end of the week. If I don't hear today, I plan to email them tomorrow.

Ahh! So glad you asked this! I thought I saw some invites/ rejections from there over 2 weeks ago but because this site has about 3 names, it's difficult to tell if others are talking about the same place!
 
Are you talking about Piscataway or Newark?

Piscataway in the Adolescent School-Based Track.... There are sooo many names for this place it is so confusing.... anyone hear from them either way? I don't think I have seen in on this site.

Also- Anyone hear about the Village for Families and Children in CT? Their response date is the 16th... just wondering though.

I'm on the waitlist for the child track interview at Newark, and haven't heard anything from Piscataway (child partial hospitalization track)...although I know they sent invites a while ago so I'm assuming its a rejection.
 
generic e-mail rejection from San Francisco VA... I like to think that this coming so late meant I was at least close to getting an interview 😉
 
I don't know. Did they lose my e-mail address or something? I wish they'd just bite the bullet and tell me already!
It did say dear applicant, but it was just my email, not a mass email.... It's coming shortly I'm sure.

I interviewed there last year (Village of Children and Families). Seemed like a decent site.
