How long do you think we should wait to contact a site after requesting interview dates? The invite I received on the 28th still hadn't gotten back to me after I ranked in order of preference four dates. I am hesitant to schedule any other interviews on any of those dates, which is becoming somewhat difficult. They said that once they hear from us and are preferred dates they would send a confirmation but I haven't heard a peep. Thoughts?

I have the same question. My one invite requested our preferences on the 26th. My top date is next week (!!!) and I still haven't heard confirmation of this. I am anxiously awaiting a response because plane tickets for that location are starting to climb but I don't want to be obnoxious in emailing them...

Trenton Psychiatric Hospital on 12/2

Invite by mass email, given 1/6, 1/13, 1/20, and 1/27 interview dates with three time slots

 

[Stud-Int]

BOP Sites- Just received emails with the results from the USAJOBS applications....

 

[anxietyisfun]

I got a rejection from the May Institute (12/2/14) - which was my top choice. It was a mass email. I applied to the Autism Specialty and the Applied Behavioral Services. I think this is the one time I actually am curious about why I wasn't a good fit and want to email them about it. Most of it is selfish though. One of my friends emailed a site last year asking why she was rejected and they ended up inviting her for an interview because they decided she was a good fit when re-reviewing her application. Maybe...just maybe I'll get lucky like she did. Sigh.

 

[Donuts]

Anyone hear from UNC behavioral medicine?

still waiting...

 

[pittpsych2014]

Anyone hear from Ancora Psychiatric Hospital yet?

 

[LastSecondHailMary]

LONG SHOT:
Anyone who got the Child Track - Pediatric concentration at Tulane willing to switch interview dates? I got the email at 5, replied at 5:02, and still did not get the date I need (30th). That is the only day I can make.

Thanks in advance if you are willing to help.

Same here. I replied with my preferences to an invite on the 25th. I'm also hesitant to contact them out of fear of being obnoxious. In your case though, it's cutting it close. I'm sure they would understand the sense of urgency (the dates for my site aren't until January).

 

[psychrat]

Hi, Based on your post earlier, are you referring to Trinitas? They just emailed me about 20 min ago to confirm my date, so they're prob going to get back to you soon too. If you don't hear by the end of today I'd say it's prob ok to email them and ask.

Thanks- just received confirmation 🙂

This exact thing happened to me too. AHHHHHHH. Hope you're able to switch your date. I'm trying to move some things around. Why does everyone loveeeee Fridays?!

If the interviews start next week, I would email them by tomorrow. I was concerned and my date was not until January.
Good luck!

 

[PhDToBe]

Me too! What in the world does it mean though? Haha, so cryptic.

I am thinking the DCTs will email us from here.

If you're talking about the site I think you are (VA Boston?) and you DO contact them, please let us know what the result is! A think a few of us are in the same boat as you...

 

[LastSecondHailMary]

I really don't know! It doesn't seem that everyone has this issue --- but 80% of my interviews are on a Monday or Friday, and several others I've gotten rejected from have been on those same dates. I'm sure it has to do with travel, but I think folks just dont like Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. 😉

 

[hillies]

Mid-week needs to feel the love!! Cheaper flights then, too!!

 

[sardonic]

x 2!

They said to reply by the 4th, so I imagine we have at least until then to hear from them.

I actually heard from them RIGHT after posting this. Check your email, everyone! (As if we're not all checking every 30 seconds already.)

Thanks guys for the feedback! I think I will go ahead and get in touch with them tomorrow if I don't hear anything.

 

[President_LeslieKnope]

Ahh mine just came it from Boston VA! Phew! Crisis averted haha

BOP Sites- Just received emails with the results from the USAJOBS applications....

Me, too! Finally!

 

[Stud-Int]

Me too! What in the world does it mean though? Haha, so cryptic.

Im guessing it is ok for the sites that sent you an invitation to offer an official interview!

[heartdignan]

Me too! What in the world does it mean though? Haha, so cryptic.

I take it to mean we should expect emails very soon about interviews. We were already basically approved to interview there before that step, and now that someone somewhere has deemed us "qualified for the position" (no duh), we can get interviews set up and all the other fun interrogation processes we have to go through.

Rejection from Reading Hospital received 12/3. Seven interviews so far and two rejections. I just want it to be December 15th already so I could stop checking my email every hour and be a productive person again

I would send an e-mail. I do not think it reflects badly on you as an applicant for being on the ball and organized.

 

[Madkrisjazz]

Somehow my thinking got a little more flawed than usual, so I have some questions:

Has anyone gotten an invite for the U Florida neuro track?
Has anyone gotten an invite for positions #14 or #10 at UCSD/VA?
Or for that matter, a rejection from Duke neuro?

Still waiting for UF Neuro - but I know invites have been sent a couple of weeks ago.

Sorry guys...premature post here...

 

[Featheredwyngs]

What track did you apply to ?

They don't have tracks from what I remember (I just checked their brochure again to make sure I hadn't missed it in my application lol); but I'm an adult CBT/DBT oriented type applicant if that helps. This is for New York Presbyterian Hospital/Weill-Cornell Medical Center (I listed it as Cornell Campus because that's how they referred to it in their email.

Rejection by mass email.

Did the email specify which track?

 

[adsekhon]

How are you guys handling scheduling interview dates?

I only have two sites so far, but was wondering if I should respond immediately or wait a few days to confirm a date. The reason I am asking is that one of the sites that extended me an invitation isn't my top top choice, but interested in it. I am just afraid that one of my top choices will only offer interviews on the same day or some that makes it difficult to travel back.

That's what I remember too and I double checked it so there are no specific tracks, It says that they only interview their top 24 people.

Schedule immediately! You can always go back and try to reschedule if you need to as the sites understand that you're applying to several places and it's all difficult to coordinate. I've been told by many people to not hesitate when you get an offer. Someone who applied last year said they waited and almost ended up losing their interview spot, and another person said they waited too long and had to interview on an inconvenient date.
