2013 APPIC Internship Application Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I'm also waiting on Morrison. I'm trying not to think negatively but it seems as if the invites went out a long time ago.

Yeah, I am pretty sure it's a lost cause at this point, but would like to know either way! I have seen a couple of posts alluding to this, but do sites ever not notify applicants of their status?
 
Personalized email rejection. Finally. they had two dates where they sent out invites and waited til the last day to reject me!

I bet my rejection is coming soon, if they are sending out personalized ones. I really liked this place, oh well. Not a huge fan of NY so maybe it's for the best!

I've read about people on this thread and the previous years thread never receiving word from a number of sites. I also spoke with individuals from thecohort from the previous year in my program and they said they did hear from all sites. Who knows.

My DCT encouraged us to try and contact sites towards the end of next week, as some sites take a few extra days.
 
I have family in Madison and am interviewing at the Wisconsin DOC (so, obviously considering moving there myself)! It is a very liberal place. Lots of social advocacy, lots of politics, lots of things like fair trade shops and farmers markets. The lakes are beautiful, and people tend to be healthier than other places I've lived (e.g., North Carolina) - I am always shocked by the number of people who bike or walk to work. I do some research in Mindfulness, so that is the only university-related stuff I know about (Davidson's lab is there, he's a big name in that field). Great beer, good cheese. Hope that helps!

Oh, great, thanks for all that information - it definitely gives me a flavor of the place. It sounds like it would be a good match for my lifestyle. I am originally from Northern CA (went to Berkeley for undergrad) and currently in Manhattan..so farmer's markets, social advocacy..yeah..i got those 🙂 I also know that Madison has come up as the "best" place to live in the US on several lists throughout the years because of its high quality of life. The advisor I had in undergrad was from that program and I know about some of the social psychology research that came out of there - John Haidt's work on moral emotions, for example. The training in the Health Psych track was very impressive in its breadth and depth...that's what really got me!
 
Interview invitation to UCSB, dates available in January

Mass rejection from Coatesville VA
 
Very kind and empathetic email rejection from the Mailman Center. Other sites would do well to follow their lead!

"I know internship matching is a really stressful process, and I am so sorry that we are not able to invite more people than we currently have invited already for interviews.

You should, each and every one of you, be tremendously proud of yourselves for all of the hard work you have done to this point to achieve your doctorates. I hope that the rest of the journey for each of you is as low-stress as possible, and that January finds you all flying around interviewing, and finding an internship that you really like."

How nice is that? 🙂

Mass email rejection from Bronx VA. I see they sent out invites this morning too.
 
How many people have wondered at least once yesterday/today that "maybe there's something wrong with my email account"?

I had that thought yesterday...I actually emailed myself to make sure my account was working 🙂
 
my email is broken. I know it. It's only been giving me rejection letters. I obviously set the spam filter to "mean"

Generic email invite to Lewisville ISD today. Dates Jan 16, 23 and 30.
 
Invitation to Cleveland VA. Is anyone one on here interviewing there for the health psych track? 8 more places to hear from.

I am. Or at least I thought I was based on the invitation I got this morning. And then I got a rejection this afternoon. 😕😕😡
 
Oh dear now I have a rejection from Cleveland despite them inviting me for an interview earlier today. One of these emails was not meant for me.

I have been checking all three email accounts in the small and absolutely unlikely chance a site got ahold of my work or personal email. It gives me something to do though
 
I just got an invitation to interview at Laureate through NOPIP! Yay! This is one I really wanted, but was told earlier I wouldn't be able to do, because they were only interviewing for one rotation.

Phew! waiting on 5 more!

They've done it to both of us. I emailed both Dr. Goldberg and Mrs. Rosen and have not yet heard back what my status is. This is even more anxiety provoking.

We're in the home stretch people! I'm happy with my number of interviews and sites I am interviewing with. I had hopes of staying in this area or moving back home, but those two options just didn't line up for me. Sending well wishes everyone's way on this loooonnnnggggg afternoon! 🙂

Rejection...University of Houston. Very very supportive rejection via email.

This makes 11 rejections in a row...I just want to cry!
 
Rejection from Lovell VA. Personalized rejection in attachment.
 
Thank you! I really didn't know what to expect from this site. All I knew when I applied is that it looks so amazing that I would be willing to move there...which says a lot because I'm a very "coastal" person. But I just spoke with somebody yesterday who went there for undergrad and they told me how beautiful Madison is. Can anyone offer some more insight about life in Madison or the program/university itself??

I appreciate it!

I received the same kind of thoughtful phone invite to that program. Wisconsin is great and so is Madison. Wisconsin is a beautiful state--if you like nature, outdoors, food, you'd enjoy it (it is kind of like the Massachusetts of the Midwest). Madison is a pretty college town. Good food, affordable, nice music/art/cultural scene for such a small city. Good Mexican food! And only a few hours away from Milwaukee and Chicago.

I have heard nothing from them either way...
 
I also have not heard from them - though silence is certainly preferable to being invited and then rejected! How rough!
 
Generic email invite to Division of Prevention and Behavioral Health Services - Terry Children's Center Internship Program 6:45am this morning!
 
Email invitation to interview at Springfield. Dates range from Dec. 28-Jan 30.

2 Questions...

Did anyone apply for the McGuire VA Primary Care track? I re-submitted a cover letter for this after a rejection from the general psych track. The due date and expected notification were not provided in the announcement to re-apply.

Also has anyone heard from American University?

Thank you and good luck! It only takes 1!
