2013 APPIC Internship Application Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Hi People. I got an interview at MGH for the child track on January 9 but now I also have an interview at Children's National in DC. Children's National is refusing to change the date. Can anyone switch their MGH date with me? I think the other one in January 15. Or does anyone want to trade Chidlren's National Dates? Thanks!
 
Congrats to everyone who received an interview today..and a rejection too. Because at least you can cross them off of your list and move forward. We still have another week to go so...do a lot of self-care and stay motivated. All you need is one!
 
Generic e-mail with 3 dates: Jan 7, 10, and 14. You call to schedule which interview you prefer. Start calling NOW, the phone line is busy and it took me nearly 30 minutes to get through.
 
Non-personalized rejection email from the Watson Institute. Is it sad that I'm just happy to hear one way or another at this point? Still waiting to hear from about 17 sites lol
 
Also just as an FYI - I applied to 15 sites have been rejected by 9 and got interviews for 2. The interviews were for my top site and another highly competitive site that I thought I was less well matched for. This process is crazy making! Crazy making!

Rest assured knowing there is no way to predict or control and you can give your brain permission to shut off the manage and worry machine now. You can do it.
 
When did you submit your application? I did not submit my app until November 30th. They went through apps fast!

Was this for me about Morrison? I turned in my app 11/07. Sorry if you were asking someone else...
 
This was for Franciscan Hospital for Children. No problem!
 
Are the North Texas (Dallas) VAMC interviews just for the medical psych tracks or all tracks? Thanks.
 
From yesterday morning, but I haven't seen it posted yet:

12/5 - Interview invitation by personal phone call. (Interview dates: 1/14, 1/28. 8:00AM-4:00PM)
 
I submitted my app to Franciscan in October.

First Rejection: The Guidance Center, Long Beach, CA
It was personalized with my name, but it seemed to be a form letter.

It is a bummer, but I thoroughly plan to use cuteoverload.com as therapy until I receive my next rejection.
🙂
I hope everyone else is receiving better news.
 
Phone call invitation from Texas A&M CC. Onsite or telephone interviews. Onsite/open house dates 1/7 and 1/11.
 
Very quiet day :/. Only means next week is going to be insanely busy with interview offers and rejections!
 
Interview invitation from UC Davis CAARE today via phone. Interviews 1/22, 1/23, and 1/24.
 
7 rejections, no interviews 🙁 really hoping things turn around soon

I'm sorry to hear. I'm in your same situation-- 8 rejections, no interviews. Two of my remaining sites have already notified people of interviews (I'm cautiously optimistic that I still have a chance) and there's really only one or two sites left that I feel like I have a real shot at. I would be so happy if I could just get one interview. Good luck to you, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

Hello all,
I just wanted to send you a quick email to let you know that we are still making final decisions regarding interviews for internship. Please don’t take this as a reflection of your application –it’s truly because we want to read every single application we received and want to make our decisions based on the entire pool of applicants. We promise to let you know by our deadline of December 15th.

Please do not reply to this email – it is truly just to keep you posted on the process. The last thing I want this email to do is to cause you more stress wondering if you should reply J We know how tough this process is for all of you, and we really appreciate your understanding.

Thanks for your interest in The Help Group,

THIS GAVE ME A HEART ATTACK BEFORE I OPENED IT....LOL
 
Not yet but I am not stressing out. Right now I have 2 interviews, 0 rejections, and 15 more I am waiting on. I will be honest, had I received rejections first I would be a ball of anxiety right now.

My first THREE responses were rejections; I was flipping out. Fortunately, I'm now almost breaking even, with 6 rejects and 5 interviews, and several more to hear from.

But yeah, I went almost a week with nothing but 3 rejections taunting me. It was hoooooorrible.
 
I am so sorry to hear that tiredpsycgrad. On the positive note, I am glad things really turned around for you 🙂.
 
Personalized email invitation to interview at Western Washington University Counseling Center - yay!

Oh wow. My first was a rejection and then I got some... is it common for a site to call interviewees on multiple days? It seems like all the dates given for last year were just one date.
