Waiting on these 3, since others on SDN have heard back positively from them (although maybe only for the Treatment Track at Marcus Autism Center). I suppose I just need to be patient and wait, right? Easier said than done!! 😉

Also, just out of curiosity - is the logic behind a site not sending everything -- invites and rejections -- within a relatively short time-frame (e.g., 1-2 days) simply that it's laborious/time consuming to review all the apps so they just send notifications as they go? Or is there some other strategy/rationale behind a site notifying some applicants one day, and then waiting 2-3 weeks to invite or reject other applicants? (I'm guessing that the number of people who are invited for an interview and turn it down, thus opening spots for other applicants, is probably pretty negligible, but maybe I'm wrong.)

I've got the same issue with Northwestern Med School. Looks like they sent out invites on 11/25, but I've not heard anything yet.
 
Invite from Marcus (Treatment Track) in Atlanta today. Interview options 1/7, 1/16, 1/21, and 1/26. Personalized email.

Invite from UCLA (I applied for neurodev and general tracks) yesterday. Mass email.

My best friend got an interview invite from Children's National Medical Center (D.C.),

I saw someone posting yesterday about getting rejection from Phoenix
 
Here is the announcement for the Fayetteville, AR VA:

We are pleased to announce that the VA Healthcare System of the Ozarks (VHSO) in Fayetteville, AR has received funding for a new psychology internship. We have three positions, with an anticipated stipend of $23,974 per intern. Our application deadline is December 8th. We will offer major rotations in the PTSD Clinical Team, Neuropsychology, and General Mental Health. As a new internship, we are not yet accredited. However, our program is designed to meet the accreditation criteria of the APA Committee on Accreditation, and it is our intent to pursue APPIC membership and APA accreditation as quickly as possible. Further, because this is a VA internship, graduates from this program will, of course, be eligible to be hired as VA psychologists and to apply for VA postdocs despite our unaccredited status. The internship should also meet criteria for licensure in all states. The internship brochure can be viewed on the VHSO webpage at
http://www.fayettevillear.va.gov/careers/psychinternshipbrochure.pdf. Please contact the Director of Psychology Training, Jim Fuendeling, PhD, at 479-444-5048, Ext. 65048 or at [email protected].
 
Any more news from Oklahoma Health Sciences (Neuro Track) and MGH (Neuro Track)? Maybe your friends/colleagues heard more info? Are those invites still coming or am I awaiting rejections?

This is a site I really wanted! Are you within the 300 mile radius of Chicago? From the brochure it looks like they would be contacting those who lived closer first for on site interview and then those that lived further away would be contacted later to schedule a phone interview or onsite interview if they were willing. Just wondering how close you are to the site...

It looks like I'm exactly 310 miles away. They did not offer me a phone interview so I am assuming they are considering me within the 300 mile radius. I hope you guys still hear, good luck!
 
For the Barrow Neurological Institute/Phoenix Children's Hospital, has anyone heard anything from the Consultation/Liaison track. I see invites for peds neuro went out and there were dates listed for "pediatrics" on 11/24 but as far as I can tell Barrow only has two tracks so I'm wondering whether the dates listed from 11/24 are actually for the CL track. I'd appreciate the clarification if anyone knows! Thanks!

:peeking:Anyone here received a rejection from either UMBC CC, Rutgers UCC, or Pace UCC? Anxiously waiting :nailbiting: ...or invite (I saw Pace invites but not the other two)
 
For those waiting on Hines: Last year I went into major freak out mode (it was one of my top sites) after I saw that others had been getting invites for at least several weeks since they are personalized. I even talked with someone who apparently had an "in" who told me that letters would be finished being e-mailed out at a certain date. Once that date came and went I officially wrote it off for myself. However, a week later I received the invite (neuro track).
