2013-2014 APPIC (internship) Phase II

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Received an interview invite from London Clinical Psych Res Consort this afternoon. Invites were made via phone.
 
Not a peep from any sites for me today. I will update the list tomorrow.
 
I have been in contact with an unaccredited site, Psychological Center for Expert Evaluations in FL. I haven't been invited for an interview yet but I have gotten some information about the site from the training director. She's been lovely!

The first guy that did it matched at his number 1 site and the second guy matched also, but not at one of those sites. He matched at one of his higher ranked.

That's awesome! They've got a lot of chutzpah!
I figured that if I don't hear tomorrow, I'll email. Here's to getting what you want!
 
Did anyone hear from the college of William and Mary, University of Houston, Tulane University or Astor services?
 
Feeling a bit nostalgic. Thinking how many times various SDN threads have kept me notified. When I applied to doctorate programs years ago we lived overseas and 8 am ET was 1 a.m. for me, so I would regularly get up multiple times during the night to check for emails and the SDN program interview invite thread. Just checked this year's thread and it's about that time for people to get program invites. I'm hoping a lot of us get good news soon.

Just wanted to wish everyone in Phase 2 good luck!!! Sorry, I mean everyone except ShakeyD, Vagery, and NFLfan2014 (since they don't want acknowledge comments from people who matched in Phase 1).

So this is what I will have time to do once I no longer am worried about matching?! Lol.. Please know once this "matchless" season is over SDN will be a place of the past. I hope the best for all of us as we have all worked as hard (or harder) than our peers. I have good friends who have matched and I've distanced myself because as supportive as they've been the past couple years they cannot relate. Posts like this make me appreciate pain because pain will help me to help my clients.
 
In other more relevant news, a peer heard from central Arkansas VA earlier in mass email for phone interview.

Booooo was really hoping for this one. Thanks for updating.
 
I'd like to say something regarding this discussion (AKA respectful yet dripping-with-resentment argument) between those who matched in Phase I and those who are involved Phase II. Before I say this, let me say that 2/21 marked the second time that I did not match.

Each of us needs to go through the internship match process. Given this fact, SDN is an amazing resource where we can band together and provide one another with much needed support. However, at some point, we must inevitably split into two groups: those who have been given the ticket to move on to the next phase of their futures, and those who have been given instead a large hurdle in their path and no map around it.

At some point as young clinicians, we learn that we can't just push our patients or tell them what to do; we need to meet them where they are. Those of us in Phase II have to realize that some of the people who matched in Phase I have the best intentions in supporting us, and are genuinely upset for us. However, I think a great deal more understanding is required from Phase I matchers.

To those of you who matched in Phase I, I beg you to ask yourselves why you feel the need to be on this thread when there is no practical reason for you to do so. Then, instead of becoming insulted by Phase II posters' reactions to your advice and encouragement, consider this: if we weren't in a place of anger, sadness, resentment, anxiety, etc. because of the very process in which you were successful, and if this were the general internship forum, your encouragement would be welcomed. Somewhere inside of us, we are happy for you, but given that we are struggling to maintain some ounce of self-esteem, we are simply not ready to have your success in our faces. Please try to meet us where we are.
 
generalized interview invite by email from the Chicago School Forensic Center. interview is in-person from 9am-3pm CST on the 13th. Skype mentioned as alternative but also described as not preferable in a tone that made me think that they will look more favorably on those who attend in person. Skype is avail 9am-5pm also the 13th.

you guys, guess what?! this is the sight i was so frustrated about last thurs where i got a msg from the aapi site that my cover letter wasn't attached so it wasn't submitted and then when i resubmitted they said that it was too late to send the app. can u believe it?? i guess they got it anyway......even tho the site doesn't even show up on my list of sites with completed submissions i don't think......

sadly, i can't go in person that day.......flights are not working out......i better learn how to use Skype!

My take: As this thread is dealing with the Phase II match process itself, it is probably most helpful to have the thread remain on that particular topic and the associated specifics. If folks want to discuss interactions between those who matched in Phase I and those who are currently going through Phase II more generally, then a new thread could be useful in that regard.
 
Good Morning all, hope we all get great news today. I have my 4th interview with chestnut hill this morning. Still have other interviews next week. I am exhausted between phase II, work, and trying to complete dissertation. I know you all understand the feeling 😵
 
Anyone heard a peep from Jesse Brown VA?
 
so just got an email from Children's Hospitals and Clinics in Minnesota. Apparently, they're not doing any formal interviews due to the short time line but they intend on ranking me because I'm a strong candidate. She mentioned that I should call her and the current intern if I have questions. So I'm guessing it's a non-interview interview??

Just got the same e-mail! Was SO hoping for this one... I'm also a little confused about the phone call thing...seems like it would be a good idea to arrange a call, right?? But yeah...not an interview, just a short phone call? Sounds like an interview to me! 😛

Congrats HPPsch19!

That's amazing! Who can argue with a non-interview interview?
 
What is Terminal Island up to?? Has anyone heard anything from them at all?
 
Has anyone heard from the University of Houston or Tulane University. I'm getting a little anxious.

I am grateful and feel blessed for the interviews I have received thus far, but I really want to hear from those two sites.
 
Is anyone starting to get the feeling that maybe some of these places sent out invites just not to SDN's. I don't want to be annoying and email the TD's but I'm getting crazy anxious over here.

I emailed my top 4 yesterday. I understand they are very busy reviewing applications, but I feel a response would be professional and courteous.

That thought has crossed my mind but I'd like to believe that at least one of us would hear something
 
I know its putting the horse before the cart, but do you guys have geographic preferences? Are you guys limited or willing to go anywhere?

Good for you! I don't know if I can email the TD's without looking stupid. My email would probably go "Hey this is crazy but I applied so interview me maybe? (Yes, I totally made a Carly Rae Jespen reference)

Lol. It's ok. To be honest, I sent an email to a fifth site and flubbed it. I had a template on word and was changing it. Well, it sent them their email with the template for another site underneath. I'm not surprised they haven't emailed or called me...

I hope we hear something today. I am still waiting on several: Center for Multicultural Training, Bronx VA, Jesse Brown VA, University of Vermont, University of Houston, Brown, and Wright State.
 
For those of you who are emailing some of the sites you haven't heard from, what are you including in your emails? My advisor dissuaded me from sending an email reiterating my enthusiasm in the program because he felt it may be annoying to the TD and therefore would reflect poorly on me. However, I have 2 rejections and no interviews so far and am slightly (AKA severely) freaking out and want to know the status of my application at some of these sites!

I put that I recently applied to their program and was writing to inquire as to the status of my application.

Next I wrote why I think I am a great fit and what I can gain and learn from them. I also discussed what I can contribute to their program with my experience.

I thanked them for taking the time to review my application and said I looked forward to hearing from them.
 
Hi everyone, long time lurker who decided it was finally time to make an account. I am still waiting to hear from:
Bronx VA, UCLA, Pacific Clinics (Adult), Institute for multicultural counseling & education services, Astor, and Orlando VA. I also applied to atlanta va, arkansas va, and cornell who appeared to have already sent out invites).
I spoke to a friend of mine yesterday who is an extern at a non-APA college counseling site participating in Phase II, who told me that they have not even looked at applications yet....

I did the same exact thing to a site with whom I feel I am a great fit despite their historical bias against Psy.D.s (i am from a University-based, well regarded Psy.D. program).
