2013 APPIC Internship Application Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I received a "Dear Applicant", seemingly mass invitation from the WestCoast Children's Clinic via email on 12/12/2012 at 12:03 PM. The dates offered were 1/16, 1/17 and 1/23, half day interviews!

Has anyone heard from the Sutter Center for Psychiatry, Sacramento (Northern CA Internship Consortium)? I have a friend who received a screening call yesterday, but no interview was set up.
 
Personalized and very kind rejection from SF VA. I was expecting it, but this was my top site, so I'm still really sad. Feeling demoralized now -- 4 interviews, 13 rejections, and 7 more to hear from. They're all UCCs, though, so I'm less hopeful.🙁
 
I suspect that it's likely hard to do at this stage of the game, but TRY to keep up the good spirits, ladies & gents! :clap:

Unfortunately, one of my program members applying is still "stuck" with only one interview at this point. We're trying to look at the brighter side of things; it's definitely hard but doable (particularly if we play distraction games!).
 
Yeah, I've spoken with some people who received their practicum training there, and it sounds like a great site just on that level. Unfortunately, if it's not APA-accredited, I wouldn't be able to consider it as our program does not allow us to apply to unaccredited sites. Knocks out some great looking sites.

That does stink...but...at least u know u got the best possible training for internship!
 
Has anyone heard from Virginia Tech and/or West Virginia University (Morgantown)'s counseling centers? I am super psyched about these sites, but am hearing nothing but the chirping of little crickets...
 
I think Virginia Tech already sent out invites... did you check the master list?

Edit: actually I'm wrong. I have been looking at the 2012 list to see when sites sent things out last year. Must have remembered seeing it on there. Hope I didn't give you a heart attack 🙁
 
Has anyone heard from the Emory (General Track)? The master list says that interviews have been offered for the neuro track, and the rejections list also includes Emory but does not specify track and I assume that might have been the CC? Thanks!
 
I'm looking at this on my phone, so I can't see subject lines. So I apologize if somebody already posted this. But I received an email rejection from university of Kansas.
 
Yes! Finally got that Allexian Brothers Behavioral Health Hospital Adult Track interview 😀
Also got a personalized phone call invite from Colorado Mental Health Institute at Fort Logan.
Personalized rejections from FCI Terminal Island and Trinitas.
That brings my total to 11 interviews, 7 rejections, and out of the forensic adult tracks I have received FAR more state hospitals than BOP invites. Who knew, considering the fact I worked for them for two years? 😀
Also, come on Napa, and good luck to everyone who applied there!


Congrats! I applied to the child track, it's my number one site. So I'm uh...waiting patiently....:scared::scared::scared::scared::scared::scared::scared::scared:

Second rejection letter I've received from the Watson Institute (the first one I received 12/6). It was also nice to see they CC'd all the rejected applicants, rather than BCCing them. Not sure which is less professional lol sending duplicate emails or advertising applicant email addresses for anyone to see...

😏
 
Personalized phone invitation to interview via Skype or In person. Dates: Dec. 18th, Dec. 19th, Jan. 3rd and Jan. 4th
 
Has anyone heard either way from St. Luke's Roosevelt child track? Thank you!!
I just heard from them for an interview. They called me at about 4:15 and I missed the call. I am super super excited!!!!

Personalized email rejection from Portland State. Had a good feeling about them actually, so kinda lame.
 
To the person who asked a couple of pages ago:

I'm also still waiting to hear from the Central TX VA, Louis Stokes VA, and Pacific Islands (Honolulu) VA.

Where aaaaaaaareeee theeeyyyyyyyy? Why won't they talk to meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee?

Same with Portland State. I know Santa Ana College sent out invites, anyone received a rejection from them?

I feel like I am having a vastly different experience than most since so many people are already interviewing and such, and I have only received a couple rejections and I am still waiting to hear from 15 sites (possibly 14 with the Santa Ana one, I am assuming that is a rejection now).
 
Interviews:
Appalachian State University
College of William and Mary
Illinois State University
Southern Illinois University
Texas Tech University
Texas Women's University
University of Central Florida
UNC- Charlotte
Virginia Commonwealth University

Rejections:
Ball State University
Texas A&M
UNC- Chapel Hill

Still waiting on:
California State University-Northridge
Cleveland State University
Duke University
Northern Illinois University
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
University of Texas at Austin

The BOP does seem random. Congratulations on your interviews? Was Fort Logan forensic? You seemed to have applied to a great mix of sites. Do you want to do forensic? Good luck!
 
Left a voicemail this morning, no response. If anybody hears please let me know. After how much time is it appropriate to email or call again?Their web site says they would let everyone know either way by yesterday.
 
Phone call to interview!!!! Crazy excited about this site!!
It definitely sounds like Lincoln is doing rolling invites. The master list says someone was invited on 11/30. There's hope then!

Yea, I imagine each site is getting at least 100 applicants. What a rough job they have!

No panic attack, but thanks for checking!! 🙂 To the person who asked about Emory, you are right, we were talking about the university counseling center. Best of luck!
 
Has anyone heard from the Emory (General Track)? The master list says that interviews have been offered for the neuro track, and the rejections list also includes Emory but does not specify track and I assume that might have been the CC? Thanks!

I'm wondering the same thing. Has anyone received an invite from the General Track at Emory?
 
Generic rejection from FCI - Terminal Island. Ahhhh phoooey.
 
2 rejections today:

Columbia U/NY Presbyterian, adult track (was expecting this as interview offers went out several weeks ago)

Trinitas, adult track (bummed, but they said they got more than 180 apps for 4 slots...😱)
This one went to my spam folder. Just above an email with the subject "shoulder to cry on" ...

Boo!

👎(

And... just as I was typing this, got a call with an interview invite to MHA Westchester, Tarrytown, NY, adult track. Interview dates were 1/4, 1/7, 1/10, 1/15. Finally, a respite from the rejections!

Also, I'm reminded of the Churchill quote, "When you're going through hell, keep going." Good luck, everyone!

:laugh::laugh::laugh:

... and don't stop! I think I am surviving the madness of this process + final papers/dissertation lit review w/ tons of Diet Mountain Dew & coffee. Hooray for mania! :d
 
Just got a personalized email inviting me to interview at Yale for the Adult DBT Track. Interview dates Jan 7, 11, and 14.

YAY!
 
I haven't heard from Emory (general track) either, and wondered the same thing.
 
Just got a phone call with an invitation to interview at UCSF CTRP- next Wednesday! Spoke to the DCT herself, and she was very warm and engaging. Super excited and nervous!!!
 
Just got a generic email rejection...
13 more to hear from!
 
I received an invitation for BMC today for 1/3. Does anyone know the other dates they are offering interviews?

I'm interviewing there tomorrow, and I know they had interviews on 12/6. They must be doing rolling invites....
 
Received two invitations yesterday:

Woodhull Hospital (NYC) sent 12/11, generic email: interview dates 12/17, 12/19
Mt Sinai/Elmhurst (NYC) sent 12/11, personalized: interview dates 12/3, 12/4

good luck all!


For the Woodhull dates, did you actually mean 12/17 and 12/19... Because that's super soon! Haven't heard either way from them yet!!
 
Cannot wait to finally check them off my list one way or another and wean my self off the interwebs!

Good luck tomorrow all--hang in there!
