I totally agree . We don't need phase 1 ppl on here even though they mean well. I haven't heard a peep from them or gotten any other support from my program for that matter. I am a first time poster but I feel very connected to you all as I too am still reeling from rejection and trying to regain my confidence. Very rough -got one rejection and no invites in round 2 trying to keep my hopes up. Thanks y'all for all the positive energy and commiseration

I agree with you all too.. its disappointed to know who's TRULY on your team. With this being my third time only 3 of my classmates have been there or offered support (and my cohort was about 35 people). My DCT and advisor are great, and the department chair has reached out.. but other than that its been family and close friends. The rest of my class has gone on a graduated etc.. crazy!

Although I am waiting for many other sites, I am super giddy for receiving more interviews than in Phase I. It's nice to feel that my experience is appreciated. Stay strong and positive. Good things to come

I agree Psychgirl305 I am slowly rebuilding some sense of self-worth after getting more interviews in Phase 2 than Phase 1...on the other hand, I really don't want to get my hopes up again and have another soul-crushing morning on March 24th. I promised myself I wouldn't get ahead of myself this time (the pre-match apartment listing searching that I did to occupy my free time before the first match day definitely did not help things!).
i also applied to terminal island but haven't heard anything. super frustrating! but i haven't heard anything from most of the sites i applied to.

I'm with you guys. Each interview I've gotten this Phase feels more validating because I know sites interview much fewer applicants out of a lot of qualified applications, especially for APA approved sites. I've allowed myself just a TINY bit of apartment searching just to get an idea about prices, but will be keeping in mind most sites only have one or two spots open as well

Ok cool, I'm curious to see if I hear from them since I don't have any FCI experience. However, a couple individuals from my program who matched at other FCIs said it was a great site, but was not aligned with their interests because it was too much like a general outpatient program then a more hardcore correctional facility. Which is why I thought it would be worthwhile to apply since I'm looking for a more generalist internship, and the pay isn't exactly a deterrent!

It's ok...I'm a little more ****oo. I searched for apartments to know rent prices for all sites submitted. I don't want to get excited either, but I definitely feel more appreciated than my own job when I interviews in phase I. We are almost there
I'm really hoping they get back to me because I'm looking for more forensic experience. Specifically, I want to work with sex offenders and they house and treat sex offenders there. So fingers crossed! It's not a maximum security facility so, yeah, makes sense it wouldn't seem so hardcore. It sounds kinda like a jail to me, but with longer stays.
But it would be awesome if they got back to me soon because I have to go down to LA for a CAPIC interview on Monday. Would be nice to roll them in together.
And, the pay is good 🙂

Hey, totally unrelated to this thread but I'm to this forum site and I have no idea how to post a question. I posted one but I forget how... can anyone help me out? Much appreciated.

Remember that there are still a lot left to hear from. And I don't know about others on this forum, but the idea of another year if it comes to that doesn't sting as much as it first did... Here's hoping for good news in the next few days for all of us!
Can we apply to both appic and capic?
Yeah you can. You can't rank both, if you match with appic you have to withdraw from capic. But the capic application deadline passed, it was on Friday.
oh, we don't. i pasted urs into word then pasted back to here; that's y the format is jacked. but figd some might find it helpful.
thx so much for doing the scouting/updating fer all of us--so great!
gross. can i get a dislike button for ppl who managed to only fail to match once, be young, and have found a partner.
crap, actually, its really hard to use a playful tone in writing.....previous was supposed to be one of the kinds of funny....tongue in cheek? facetious? idk, one of them 😉
Yes very helpful! It's nice to have a list to refer to.
Haha, I got that. You from the east coast?
got my first interview!! generalized email from Cheyenne VA. woot!!
okay......so its unaccredited. i don't care, its a good fit, and va's will grandfather you in neways so don't judge my exuberance. and its my second year not matching and .....u know what? no. u guys will support me. this isn't my program who will put me down (if they even remember i still go there). i don't have to defend myself to u guys. let me try again:
i got an interview to a great site that seems like a really amazing fit and I'm super pumped about it 🙂

ya, how can u tell??
Cause I am too 😉 There's a certain kind of humor/wit that comes with being from over there. I always enjoy it when I come across it cause things aren't quite the same in California.
And congrats on the interview!! Live it up!

Still haven't had any invites to interview yet and I thought the ones I applied to were really good fits. I only applied to a couple of sites... but it still hurts. Feels a lot like phase 1 😱 Don't know about anyone else, but I'm definitely having a hard time going to lab/school every day since my spirits are so low. I hope that we all get some good news soon.
Ugh.... This one hurts. I really thought I was a good fit for this VA. I know the area really well and would have been very happy in Wyoming.

I needed this laugh!! Thanks for that! 🙂
Congratulations, when did they notify you of your interview?
Who else wishes that programs would at lease give a date as to when notifications would be out for their program. I can handle not getting a rejection letter but it would be nice to know when a program has already made a decision regarding interviews.

I actually think that they should be strongly encouraged to send both interview acceptances and rejections. I understand that it is time consuming, but this process it very stressful. I think that if there is anything they can do to make it easier, they should do it. Just my opinion though.
I agree that would be wonderful.

It takes 15 minutes max to send out a mass rejection email. I am trying to be patient and not bug any DCTs until next week about my status, but it's brutally hard not to!
Seriously! Just as a professional courtesy. Only a few sites this round seem to do that and it's maddening!
Do they know before you do if you've gotten interviews??? Cause nobody mentioned that as an option at my school. .. haha, and if it is I don't totally blame them
